What Is Intrauterine Insemination?
Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is an effective fertility treatment offered at the Center for Human Reproduction that involves carefully placing sperm directly into the uterus to increase the likelihood of achieving a successful pregnancy. IUI is ideal for couples dealing with male fertility issues, such as low sperm count, sexual dysfunction, or reduced sperm mobility. It may also be an effective option for women with cervical factor infertility where the cervical mucus prevents sperm from reaching the uterus. Intrauterine insemination allows for a more direct path for the sperm, enhancing your chances of conception. Dr. Norbert Gleicher and Dr. David H. Barad perform this procedure with expertise and compassion, providing hope for couples facing fertility challenges. To learn more about IUI or to see if you are an ideal candidate, contact our center in New York, NY today.
How Does Intrauterine Insemination Work?
Intrauterine insemination is performed in a private treatment room at the Center for Human Reproduction. The IUI process will begin with ovulation induced by medication to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs. Your progress will be closely monitored through blood tests and ultrasounds to identify the best timing for intrauterine insemination. Once the eggs are ready, an hCG injection is administered to trigger ovulation. Your IUI procedure will be scheduled during this time. Sperm, either from your partner or a donor, is carefully prepared and then introduced directly into the uterus with a flexible catheter, increasing the chances of successful fertilization.
What Are the Benefits of Intrauterine Insemination?
IUI is a popular fertility treatment among our patients in New York, NY due to its many benefits. Dr. Gleicher and Dr. Barad will tailor the IUI process to meet your unique fertility needs. Some of the primary benefits of intrauterine insemination include:
- Overcoming issues with cervical mucus that can block sperm
- Improving pregnancy chances in cases of male infertility
- Offering a less invasive, more cost-effective alternative to in vitro fertilization (IVF)
- Accurately timing the introduction of sperm to coincide with ovulation for ideal results
- Allowing the use of either partner or donor sperm
Center For Human Reproduction Reviews
I really appreciate Dr. Gleicher for not dismissing me because of my age. I have more hope for our family building working with his team.
The best in vitro clinics are not only professional, they also treat you as if you were part of the family. I have my 6-year-old daughter thanks to that great team.
Dr Gleicher and Dr Barad changed our lives! After many failed ivf attempts and miscarriages from natural conceptions, I booked a call with Dr Gleicher as his YouTube on being hypoallergenic and thyroid issues can cause miscarriage. He correctly diagnosed me on the phone and then confirmed with blood tests I have an autoimmune disorder (ANA positive) and need steroids the first trimester. He implanted 2 embryos (created when I was 43/44 and at age 47 I got pregnant!) I have a healthy 3 year old now. I only wish I would have talked to him earlier. Dr Barad did the implantation and has a great technique, this is art and science! I can’t thank them enough!
The most knowledgeable, professional and caring medical staff. Feel truly cared for during this difficult journey.
Our daughter had her first birthday on February 6th. She’s extremely smart, and super sweet. She brings us so much joy, and we can never adequately thank Dr. Barad enough for all his help to make it possible!
