IUI Procedure We follow
Ovulation induction
The first step in IUI treatments is ovulation induction. It is done to stimulate the ovaries to produce more eggs for fertilization.
- First, blood tests are done to check the LH and prolactin levels in the body. The HMG injections are then administered as per the dosage
- Follicular growth is monitored through ultrasound, and Doppler scans are done to study blood flow in the follicles and endometrium.
- Once the follicular size is roughly 19-20 mm, HCG, the last injection, is given to induce the rupture of follicles.
- Natural intercourse is advised for 2 cycles. If the woman still can’t get pregnant, IUI is performed.
Sperm retrieval
- A semen sample is collected from the male partner in a container and is sent for a semen analysis. The lab tests the sperm for volume, mobility, and quality.
- The sperm is then ‘processed’, where they are separated from the seminal plasma, white blood cells, prostaglandins, and other ‘debris’.
Semen preparation process
- Highly motile and healthy sperm are separated through the density gradient separation technique from the semen collected.
- The separated sperm are washed and enriched within a special medium under sterile conditions.
- This preparation takes up to an hour. IUI should occur within 15-20 minutes of processing.
After IUI
The insemination procedure will take only around 5-10 minutes. After that, it is best to rest for around 30 minutes. IUI is a minor procedure without any side effects, so women can follow their daily routine without pressure.
Here are some instructions women should follow to ensure a successful pregnancy.
- Light spotting for a day or two after IUI is normal, so there is no need to panic.
- Start taking progesterone tablets vaginally to thicken the uterine wall and increase the chances of implantation (take paracetamol if you feel any pain).
- Diet and bath normally. Resume your normal day-to-day routine.
- Avoid doing heavy work or going on bumpy rides.
- Continue taking aspirin, folic acid, and other medicine the doctor prescribes until pregnancy is confirmed.
- Do a pregnancy test after progesterone tablets are over.
- Visit your doctor if the results are positive.
- If the results are negative, wait for your periods which will start in 5-7 days.
- Visit the hospital on the second day of the period for a blood test and further treatments.
