Intrauterine insemination (IUI) in North Cyprus

Overview

Intrauterine insemination (IUI) — a type of artificial insemination — is a procedure for treating infertility.

Sperm that have been washed and concentrated are placed directly in your uterus around the time your ovary releases one or more eggs to be fertilised.

The hoped-for outcome of intrauterine insemination is for the sperm to swim into the fallopian tube and fertilise a waiting egg, resulting in pregnancy. Depending on the reasons for infertility, IUI can be coordinated with your normal cycle or with fertility medications.

When is Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) recommended?

  • Low Sperm Count and Decreased Sperm Motility: IUI is suggested for cases of infertility linked to low sperm count and reduced sperm motility.
  • Erectile Dysfunction or Ejaculation Dysfunction: IUI is recommended when infertility results from erectile dysfunction or ejaculation dysfunction.
  • Retrograde Ejaculation: IUI is recommended when infertility results from erectile dysfunction or ejaculation dysfunction.
  • Cervical Problems: IUI is suitable for cases of infertility associated with cervical problems.
  • Unexplained Infertility: The majority of IUI applications are for cases of unexplained infertility, where no clear cause can be determined.
  • Mild or Moderate Endometriosis: IUI is an option for infertility linked to mild or moderate endometriosis.
Step 01
Fertility Check-up
Step 01

Fertility Check-up

We create an individualised treatment plan for each patient that maximises their chances of success. This journey starts with a thorough and considerate screening process, which revolves around grasping the nuances of your and your partner's fertility health. Following this assessment, we offer recommendations for any required pre-treatment steps based on the outcomes, which could involve a HyCoSy investigation to evaluate the condition of your fallopian tubes.

Step 02

Natural, Modified & Stimulate

For natural IUI, you'll utilise a home testing kit to detect ovulation. Once ovulation is indicated, we'll verify with an ultrasound and proceed to the IUI procedure.

In a modified natural approach, we'll monitor the development of follicles and the uterine lining using ultrasound. Once you're primed, an ovulation-triggering injection will be administered before the IUI procedure.

Step 03

Preparing the sperm

When utilizing your partner's sperm, it undergoes laboratory processing, involving a washing and preparation procedure. This meticulous process segregates the vigorously mobile sperm from the sluggish or non-moving ones, ensuring that only the most optimal sperm are selected for insemination. In the case of donor sperm, it is pre-stored and readily available at our clinic for use.

Step 04

Insemination

This procedure involves inserting a flexible tube with a sperm sample through the vagina, cervix, and into the uterus, allowing sperm to reach the Fallopian tubes for potential fertilization. It's typically quick, mostly painless, and any discomfort or cramps are temporary and subside after completion.
