If you and your partner are trying to conceive but facing challenges, you may have heard about a treatment called IUI. In this blog, we’ll explain what IUI is, how it works, and how it can help you take one step closer to parenthood. Don’t worry, we’ve kept everything simple and easy to understand.
What is IUI?
IUI (Intrauterine Insemination) is a type of fertility treatment where washed and prepared sperm is directly placed into the woman’s uterus during her ovulation period. This gives the sperm a better chance of reaching the egg and fertilizing it.
It is a simple, quick, and less invasive procedure that is often used before moving to more advanced treatments like IVF.
How is IUI Done?
At Nucleus IVF Centre, the IUI procedure is done in a comfortable and hygienic environment under expert care. Here’s how it usually works:
- Tracking Ovulation – Your ovulation is monitored through blood tests or ultrasound to find the best day for insemination.
- Sperm Collection and Washing – The semen sample is collected (from your partner or a donor) and then processed in our lab to select the healthiest sperm.
- Insemination – A thin tube is used to gently insert the sperm into your uterus. It’s a quick and usually painless process.
- Aftercare – You may be asked to rest for a short while. A pregnancy test is done after about two weeks.
Who Can Benefit from IUI?
IUI can be helpful in many situations, such as:
- Unexplained infertility
- Low sperm count or motility
- Mild endometriosis
- Cervical mucus problems
- Donor sperm requirement
- Single women or same-sex couples who want to conceive

Is IUI Painful?
Most women find IUI to be a quick and almost painless procedure. Some may feel slight discomfort like mild period cramps, but it goes away soon.
What are the Success Rates of IUI?
Success depends on various factors like the woman’s age, the reason for infertility, and how well the sperm and eggs are working. On average, IUI has a 10-20% success rate per cycle, and many couples try it for 2-3 cycles before exploring other options like IVF.
Is IUI Safe?
Yes, IUI is generally safe and has very few risks. In some rare cases, women may experience mild infection or spotting. Your doctor will guide you through all precautions.
