IUI near Branford, CT

There’s a moment in every fertility journey when possibility meets science—when you decide to take one more step toward the family you’ve imagined. For many, intrauterine insemination (IUI) becomes that next step. It’s a gentle, medically guided process that helps specially prepared sperm and egg find each other more easily, offering new potential when the path has felt uncertain. 

At The Center for Advanced Reproductive Services (CARS), you’ll find a team that understands how meaningful this decision is. Each person who walks through our doors is supported with clarity, compassion, and advanced reproductive medicine delivered with intention. Here, you are guided—not rushed. Seen—not overlooked. 

Understanding IUI Treatment 

IUI is designed to give specially prepared sperm a closer, more direct path to the egg during ovulation. By placing a prepared sperm sample directly into the uterus, the chances of fertilization can increase in a way that feels simple, focused, and hopeful. 

Here’s a simplified overview of the IUI process: 

  1. A semen sample is specially prepared in our laboratory so the healthiest sperm are concentrated. 
  2. A thin catheter is used to gently guide the sample into the uterus. 
  3. After a brief rest, you can continue with the rest of your day. 

The procedure itself takes only minutes, yet for many, it represents something far greater—a meaningful step toward family-building supported by a trusted clinical team.
