IUI For AIH

Intrauterine Insemination is a type of artificial insemination process and a subset of assisted-reproductive techniques.

In it, the sperm are collected beforehand and inserted into the uterus of the woman, near the egg.

Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a fertility treatment in which sperm is placed directly into the uterus using a thin, flexible tube called a catheter. IUI is often used in cases where there are problems with the man’s sperm or with the woman’s cervical mucus that make it difficult for the sperm to reach the egg. It can also be used in cases of unexplained infertility or in combination with fertility drugs to increase the chances of pregnancy.

AIH stands for artificial insemination with husband’s sperm. In this case, the husband’s sperm is used for the IUI procedure rather than sperm from a donor. IUI with the husband’s sperm is typically done in cases where the man has a low sperm count or poor sperm motility (movement), or where there are problems with the woman’s cervix or uterus that make it difficult for the sperm to reach the egg. The IUI procedure itself is relatively simple and is usually done in a doctor’s office or fertility clinic. It is typically done around the time of ovulation, when the woman is most fertile.
