Before Intrauterine Insemination

Pre-testing is advised by the Intrauterine Inseminations Doctors in Hyderabad before recommending IUI treatment to a couple or individual female. This includes the ultrasound testing in a day gap during the mid-cycle and blood monitoring. It helps in tracking the number of eggs and their development and the time of ovulation to identify a fertile period for performing intrauterine insemination. To help stimulate egg growth and maturity, oral and injectable drugs for follicle growth are given to the female patient. The medication works in 10 to 12 days. A trigger shot is given for the release of the egg. The IUI procedure commences 24 to 36 hours after taking the trigger shots.

Intrauterine Insemination Procedure

The step-by-step procedure for IUI is as follows:

Collection and washing of semen- The male partner ejaculates semen which is collected and stored in the andrology lab. The semen is washed to obtain the healthiest, most motile sperm for transfer.

Pregnancy test- This is done after two weeks of first IUI treatment. If the test result is negative, another IUI treatment is provided or the patient is recommended with another alternative.
