IUI Treatment in Lucknow

IUI (Intrauterine Insemination) is a fertility treatment where prepared sperm is placed directly into the uterus around the time of ovulation. As a result, more sperm reach the egg, improving the chance of natural fertilisation. It is a simple, painless procedure and is often the first recommended step before IVF.

The IUI procedure is quick and comfortable. First, a semen sample is washed and prepared in our NABH-certified lab. Then, the concentrated sperm is placed gently into the uterus through the cervix using a fine catheter. The whole process takes 5–10 minutes, requires no anaesthesia, and patients can leave the clinic shortly after.

The IUI treatment process involves four stages. First, we conduct a full fertility evaluation for both partners. Subsequently, ovulation is monitored through ultrasound scans. On the day of ovulation, semen is prepared and insemination is performed. Finally, a pregnancy blood test is done 14 days later to confirm results.

IUI fertility treatment works well for couples with unexplained infertility, mild male factor infertility, cervical factor issues, ovulatory disorders, or PCOS. Moreover, it is the standard procedure when donor sperm is used. However, if there is a significant male factor issue or blocked tubes, IVF or ICSI may be recommended instead.

The IUI procedure is generally not painful. Most patients experience mild cramping, similar to period discomfort, during or shortly after the procedure. No sedation or anaesthesia is required. As a result, you can resume normal activities on the same day.

Most specialists recommend 3–6 IUI cycles before considering IVF. However, the right number depends on your age, diagnosis, and how you respond to each cycle. At Javitri Hospital, our team reviews your progress after every cycle, and advises you honestly on whether to continue or move to the next step.

Yes, IUI treatment for pregnancy is an effective, established approach for many couples. A beta-hCG blood test 14 days after the IUI procedure confirms whether pregnancy has been achieved. Furthermore, if the result is positive, an ultrasound at 6–7 weeks confirms the heartbeat. Success rates vary based on age, diagnosis, and whether ovarian stimulation was used.

In IUI, sperm is placed inside the uterus and fertilisation happens naturally inside the body. In contrast, IVF retrieves eggs and fertilises them in a laboratory. Consequently, IUI is simpler, less invasive, and less involved than IVF. It is therefore the recommended first step for many couples, particularly those with mild or unexplained infertility.

One IUI cycle takes approximately 2–3 weeks in total. This includes ovulation monitoring scans from Day 10 onwards, the IUI procedure on the day of ovulation, and a pregnancy blood test 14 days later. As a result, the process is significantly shorter and simpler than an IVF cycle.
