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

Great Doctor
Dr. Barad has elegant solutions to medical issues and is a skilled practitioner.
We are writing this letter of gratitude for Dr Norbert Gleicher and the entire staff at Center for Human Reproduction. My wife and I are so very thankful that we listened to Dr Gleicher's advice back on October 1st,2021 during a consultation he advised us to not allow our fertilized eggs to be discarded and killed.Our two eggs were tested and declared to be irregular by another IVF lab. We kept the eggs frozen and after 4 more failed IVF cycles came to Dr Gleicher for another try. We asked Dr Gleicher if it was worth a try to have eggs transferred into my wife and he studied the data and approved of the procedure. On February 7th,2024 we had 2 frozen eggs transferred and waited for the results.Finally later in February after the 13 day wait we were advised of blood test that confirmed that we were pregnant with an xx embryo from the transfer.XX is a girl and a huge feeling warmth and happiness overwhelmed both of us. We had several ultrasounds during the 4-5 weeks following and all were very positive with strong heartbeat and great growth, Today my wife is approaching her 18th week pregnant and all is going great with the development and follow up visits. Our baby is growing by the day and we look forward to our 20 week ultrasound for further development rate. If we had not discussed and listened to Dr Gleicher back in 2021 we would never have been so far with a pregnancy. The entire staff is wonderful and Hui Na was very helpful and communicative through the entire process with my wife. Please accept our sincere thank you and heartfelt praise for the team. Our baby is due around Oct 26th,2024 and we intend to vist to say thanks in person,we will make the trip from our home in Florida. Blessings to all.
My husband & I had an initial consultation with Dr. Barad, and were blown away by the time he spent with us & care he put into our conversation & next steps. For the first time in a long time on our infertility journey, it felt like someone actually heard us & our concerns. He's already suggested some new approaches we can take towards having a healthy pregnancy, that no other doctor ever mentioned, and we've been at this for years! The peace of mind & hope he offered alone were worth it. Would highly recommend.
