What Is IUI and How Does It Work? 

Think of IUI as giving the sperm a little boost. During this procedure, we place specially prepared sperm directly into the uterus around the time you’re ovulating—making it easier for the sperm to reach and fertilize the egg. 

Here’s how the IUI process typically unfolds: 

• Ovulation Monitoring: We track your cycle with ultrasound and/or ovulation kits to pinpoint the perfect timing. (With or without fertility medications, depending on your individual needs.) 

• Sperm Preparation: In our lab, sperm is carefully “washed” and concentrated to select the healthiest, most active swimmers. 

• Insemination: Using a thin, flexible catheter, we gently place the sperm into your uterus. It’s a quick, low-discomfort procedure—often described as feeling similar to a Pap smear. 

IUI can be done using partner or donor sperm and is often recommended for mild male factor infertility, ovulation issues, unexplained infertility, LGBTQ+ couples, or single parents by choice. You can learn more about IUI in detail by speaking with your CARS provider or by visiting the American Society for Reproductive Medicine website.*

Is IUI Right for You? 

For many, IUI is a first step because it’s less invasive and typically more affordable than IVF. You may be a good candidate if: 

• You’ve been trying to conceive for 6 to 12 months without success 

• You’re using donor sperm 

• You have mild ovulation or sperm-related challenges 

• You’re in a same-sex partnership or pursuing parenthood on your own 

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. We take the time to understand your full story—your body, your hopes, your fears—and walk you through every option with clarity and compassion. If IUI makes sense, we’ll support you every step. And if something else might work better, we’ll talk about that too—honestly and without pressure.
