IUI stands for ‘Intrauterine Insemination’.

Intrauterine Insemination’ involves your partner providing a sperm sample which is concentrated in the lab to a tiny specimen of the best swimmers! These sperm are then placed at the top of your uterine cavity via a very fine tube.

With IUI the sperm don’t have to negotiate getting through the cervix (which can be tough for them!), and they get a head start so they are front and centre to meet the egg when you ovulate.

IUI can be a great option for some younger couples who are not conceiving.

If you’d like to discuss if Intrauterine Insemination is an option for you to consider, give us a call today.

If you have questions about your pregnancy and would like to speak with an obstetrician, call the rooms for an appointment.
