Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is a form of assisted conception. During IUI, your doctor will place washed, prepared sperm into your uterus (womb) and near to your egg at your time of ovulation. This procedure is often combined with fertility drugs to increase your chances of conceiving. 

IUI may help you as a couple if:
Your male partner has a borderline low sperm count or low motility. This is when the sperm's ability to move is impaired. But there must be enough healthy, motile sperm to make the treatment worthwhile. 

You are unable to have sex because of disability, injury, or if your partner experiences premature ejaculation. 

You have mild endometriosis.
You or your partner's fertility problems are unexplained.
