How do I know if IUI is an option for me?
IUI can be performed using a male partner’s sperm or donor sperm. IUI is commonly used in these scenarios:
- Unexplained infertility
- Mild endometriosis
- Issues with the cervix or cervical mucus
- Low sperm count
- Decreased sperm motility
- Issues with ejaculation or erection
- Same-sex couples wishing to conceive
- A single woman wishing to conceive
- A couple wanting to avoid passing on a genetic defect from the male partner to the child
- In addition to helping couples with infertility challenges, IUI can be useful for couples who are having trouble conceiving for other reasons, such as their work or travel schedule.
