- Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is a form of assisted conception in which the semen is washed and processed to obtain highly motile sperms with fertilizable potential.
- These sperms are directly placed into your uterus (womb) by means of a catheter during the time of ovulation.
- This procedure is often combined with fertility drugs to increase the chances of conceiving.
- 1st IUI is generally performed on day 12- day 14, before the ovulation. On next day a transvaginal ultrasonography on empty bladder is done to confirm the rupture of the follicle (i.e. ovulation), and 2nd IUI is done only after ultrasonography confirmation of ovulation.
