1. What is IUI?
The process of IUI is the injection process of sperm into the uterus of a woman.
2. How is IUI performed?
IUI is performed by inserting a thin catheter into the neck of a woman. Once the catheter is inserted, the washed sperm injected into the uterus. This method avoids the vagina and obstacles in the vaginal mucosa or the cervix that could interfere with conception. Usually it's a quick procedure.
3. How sperm collected?
If you live near the doctor's office, you may be able to collect the semen at home. If you do not live nearby, you will receive a private room at the doctor's office. A sterile collection of glass will be provided for man to use. The sample must be delivered to the doctor's office in less than half an hour of collection. If delivery of the house, the sample must be kept at body temperature.
4. What is the sperm washing?
Sperm washing is the sperm preparation process for insemination. The sperm is combined with a washing medium after it has been liquefied. It was then spun in a centrifuge to separate the sperm and sperm from non-motile sperm motile sperm. This can be repeated. The sperm is then placed in a syringe and is ready for insemination.
5. When, during my cycle should have this done?
Your doctor will give you the exact dates, but this procedure can be performed 6 hours before or 6 hours after ovulation. If you do not take fertility drugs is generally determined by the LH surge. You will probably have to pass tests to predict ovulation know when the LH surge occurs. After the LH surge is detected, it is probably the procedure done within 24-36 hours. If using hCG injection, is likely to have the procedure performed 24-26 hours after injection. Time is important for several reasons. As you approach ovulation, the cervix opens and allows each catheter insertion. You also need washed sperm to be used in a certain period of time so they are still viable.
6. How is the procedure?
The first is to provide a semen sample for sperm washing. Your doctor may ask you to come back later for insemination depending on how long it will take sperm washing. You are asked to remove clothing, usually at the waist, and lay down. The doctor then inserts the catheter and depositing washed sperm into the uterus. You may be required to sit with your hips elevated for 10-30 minutes.
7. poorly IUI?
If IUI is done at the right time in the cycle, you can not experience minor discomfort. You should feel the same as having a Pap test. Some women have cramps after, but this may be due to ovulation and not the procedure.
8. If I get up, the sperm will fall?
The sperm will not fall after insemination. You can feel the humidity and the sperm is falling, but the cervical mucus has been loosened by the catheter.
9. How many follicles Should I have a better chance of conception?
Three to four follicles give you the best chance of becoming pregnant. More than four follicles increase the likelihood of multiples.
10. What if IUI does not work for me?
Many doctors will try a few rounds of IUI before adding drugs like Clomid or injectable. They can do more than three to four cycles with drugs before suggesting in vitro fertilization (IVF).
If you are about to deal with this procedure, ask your doctor any questions you may have. Your doctor is there to help you and spend as much time to answer any questions that you need. Many women who can not conceive found that IUI help them realize their dreams of becoming pregnant.
