IUI Treatment

In order to aid in conception, sperm are directly inserted into a woman’s uterus during intrauterine insemination (IUI), also known as artificial insemination. By doing this, there is a greater chance that the sperm will get through any barriers in the reproductive system and enter the fallopian tubes, where they will fertilize the egg. 

The age of the woman, the caliber of the sperm utilized, and the underlying cause of infertility can all have an impact on the success rate of IUI. Success rates for IUI treatment cycles typically fall between 10% and 20% of the total.

Why is it done?

Infertility-challenged couples are frequently advised to undergo IUI treatment, including

Unexplained Infertility

IUI treatment is taken into consideration when comprehensive testing is unable to identify a particular cause for infertility.

Male Factor Infertility

When there is insufficient motility, morphology, or sperm count.

Cervical Issues

Disorders such atypical cervical mucus that prevent sperm from getting to the egg.

Endometriosis

Because endometriosis can affect fertility, less invasive treatment alternatives are available for those with mild to severe cases of the ailment.

Donor Sperm

People or couples that want to get pregnant by using sperm from donors.

The Test

A pregnancy test is conducted after the 2 weeks of transfer to determine if the procedure is successful or not.

Causes of IUI Failure

The following are some of the variables that lead to IUI failure

Egg Quality

It is possible to develop weak embryos or difficult-to-fertilize eggs with genetic abnormalities.

Age

After 40, and especially after 35, success rates sharply decline.

Sperm Quality

Immature or low-quality sperm may not develop into fallopian tubes

Timing

In the absence of sperm during ovulation, fertilization is unlikely to occur.

Endometrial Lining

Embryo implantation is hampered by inadequate lining thickness.

Problems with Ovulation

Inadequate ovulation might lead to unfertilized eggs.

Progesterone Deficiency

Insufficient progesterone prevents pregnancy from continuing.

Preventions from Infertility

Making a lifestyle healthy is one of the basic and effective ways to prevent yourself, from maintaining your body’s normal weight, not smoking and consuming toxins, perform some basic exercise daily. These are some things which males and females both should have to adapt to.

Menstruation

A woman's regular menstrual cycles show that she is not pregnant.

Negative Pregnancy Test

Blood or home testing that yield no positive results for pregnancy. 

Absence of Pregnancy Symptoms

Ignoring early warning indicators including weariness, nausea, breast tenderness, and increased olfactory sensitivity. 

Unchanged Basal Body Temperature (BBT)

There was no persistent rise in body temperature after IUI. 

Consistent Cervical Mucus

The lack of variations in mucus consistency is indicative of an early pregnancy. 

Lack of Mood Swings

 Although mood swings might be a sign of an early pregnancy, their absence could indicate a failed IUI.

Unchanged Basal Body Temperature (BBT)

There was no persistent rise in body temperature after IUI. 

It’s essential to recognize that while IUI may be a more affordable option compared to IVF, it remains a costly procedure, with expenses accumulating with each attempt and the potential challenges of infertility. Furthermore, in contrast to other assisted reproductive techniques, the likelihood of experiencing pregnancy symptoms following an unsuccessful IUI procedure is minimal.
