Hey there! If you’re exploring ways to boost your chances of getting pregnant, Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) could be a fantastic option for you. At our clinics in Los Angeles and Glendale, we offer this less invasive fertility treatment that helps many individuals and couples on their journey to parenthood. Curious about how IUI works? Let’s dive in!

Who is a Good Candidate for IUI?

IUI might be the right fit for you if:

  • You’re a single woman or a same-sex couple looking to conceive using a sperm donor.
  • You or your partner have mild fertility issues, like a lower sperm count or motility problems.
  • You’re facing unexplained infertility.
  • There’s a blockage in the male reproductive tract.
  • You have cervical mucus issues that make it difficult for sperm to reach the egg.
  • You’re dealing with ovulation complications.
  • You and your partner are experiencing challenges with traditional intercourse.

Our dedicated team at Pacific Fertility Center LA will work closely with you to coordinate IUI with either your natural cycle or with fertility medications, making sure you have the best chance at a successful conception.

What to Expect During the IUI Process

The IUI procedure is designed to maximize fertilization chances. Here’s a quick rundown of what happens:

  1. First, we’ll evaluate the quality of the sperm sample. If you’re using a donor, we’ll check it for any infectious diseases.
  2. Then, we’ll wash and prepare the sperm to concentrate the healthiest ones while removing the seminal fluid – this step really helps!
  3. Using a small catheter, we’ll place the concentrated sperm directly into the uterus. This part is quick—taking about 20 minutes—and is usually pain-free.

This approach allows the sperm to get to the fallopian tubes faster, increasing the odds of fertilization compared to traditional conception methods. Many people opt for IUI because it’s typically more affordable and less invasive than IVF.

We’ve seen countless hopeful parents, like Mia and Jake, make their dreams come true through this method.
