IUI – otherwise known as Intrauterine Insemination or ‘artificial insemination’ – is a type of fertility treatment that encourages pregnancy by placing prepared, quality sperm close to the egg for fertilisation.
It involves placing partner sperm, or donor sperm, into your uterus around the same time you naturally ovulate. You can take a pregnancy test two weeks later.
IUI is usually performed without the use of fertility medication, with a typical cycle of treatment taking just four weeks.

A typical natural cycle of insemination takes around four weeks, including pinpointing ovulation and pregnancy test.
Some women do conceive first time through IUI but it is not uncommon to need more than one cycle of insemination to achieve pregnancy. If IUI Is unsuccessful a number of times, your consultant will review your cycle and treatment path, and may advise further tests, to see if there are any changes that can be made to improve your chances of success. It could be that IVF is a better option for you.
IVF does have higher success rates per cycle, but many patients will start with IUI if they are using donor sperm. Your consultant will advise if you can try IUI to conceive or if you would be better to start with IVF.
