About This Treatment
What you need to know
Understanding IUI (Intrauterine Insemination)
IUI is a widely used fertility treatment that gives sperm a critical “head start” by bypassing natural barriers like the cervix. In a natural cycle, millions of sperm are lost before they ever reach the fallopian tubes. IUI solves this by depositing a highly concentrated sample of motile sperm directly into the uterine cavity, significantly increasing the number of healthy sperm that reach the egg.
This treatment is an excellent first-line option for couples dealing with mild sperm count issues, cervical mucus hostility, or those who have not achieved success with timed intercourse alone.
How the IUI Process Works
At Aikya Fertility, our IUI protocol is synchronized perfectly with your biological clock:
- Ovarian Stimulation (Optional): We may use mild medications to ensure 1-2 healthy eggs mature.
- Follicular Monitoring: Through ultrasound, we track the exact moment your egg is ready.
- Sperm Preparation (Sperm Washing): In our advanced lab, the semen sample is “washed” to isolate the most active, healthy sperm while removing impurities that could cause cramping.
- The Insemination: Using a thin, flexible catheter, our specialists gently place the sperm into the uterus. The procedure is quick, virtually painless, and requires no anesthesia.
Precision and Success at Aikya Fertility
The success of IUI depends heavily on timing and laboratory precision. Our clinic utilizes state-of-the-art centrifugation and media for sperm preparation, ensuring the highest possible density of motile sperm. By monitoring your ovulation with expert follicular tracking, we ensure the insemination happens at the peak of your fertile window.

Important Considerations
What to discuss with your doctor
Please consult our specialists to understand how these considerations apply to your individual case.
IUI is a minimally invasive and low-risk procedure, but patients should consider the following:
- Risk of Multiples: The IUI procedure itself does not cause twins. However, if paired with fertility medications to stimulate the ovaries, the chance of multiple pregnancies increases slightly.
- Mild Discomfort: A small percentage of women may experience mild pelvic cramping or light spotting for a day or two following catheter insertion.
- Success Rate Limitations: While an excellent starting point, IUI has lower per-cycle success rates compared to IVF and requires the female partner to have at least one functioning fallopian tube.

The advanced laboratory process to wash, purify, and prepare the sperm typically takes about 45 to 60 minutes
