FAQ
Questions about IUI in Atlanta
What is IUI and how does it work?
IUI (intrauterine insemination) is a fertility treatment where specially prepared sperm is placed directly into the uterus around the time of ovulation to increase the chances of pregnancy. It is often used with fertility medications to improve success rates.
Who is a good candidate for IUI?
IUI may be recommended for individuals or couples with unexplained infertility, mild male factor infertility, cervical mucus issues or ovulation timing difficulties, and for single women and LGBTQ+ patients building a family. Our specialists will evaluate your situation to decide if IUI is appropriate.
Is IUI painful?
IUI is generally quick and well tolerated. Most patients say it feels similar to a routine pelvic exam. Mild cramping may occur but usually passes quickly.
How successful is IUI in Atlanta?
IUI success rates vary with age, fertility diagnosis and the use of fertility medications. Younger patients and those with mild infertility factors typically have higher success rates. Your fertility doctor will discuss your personal chances at your consultation.
How long does the IUI process take?
A single IUI cycle typically takes about 2–4 weeks, including ovulation monitoring, medication (if used), sperm preparation and the insemination procedure.
What is sperm washing in IUI?
Sperm washing is a laboratory process that separates healthy, motile sperm from semen fluid. This improves sperm quality and increases the likelihood of fertilization during IUI.
Does IUI increase the chance of twins?
IUI may slightly increase the chance of multiples if fertility medications are used to stimulate ovulation. Most IUI cycles result in a single pregnancy.
When should I consider IUI instead of IVF?
IUI is often recommended as a first-line treatment before IVF because it is less invasive and more affordable. IVF may be considered if several IUI cycles are unsuccessful or if there are more complex fertility issues. Compare IUI vs IVF →
