MEANING

Intrauterine Insemination is a plain and smooth method and is mostly performed in situations of mild fertility issues in males or complications in the cervical canal in females, like previous cervical conization or abnormal mucus formation.

This is an outpatient procedure meaning thereby that the patient doesn’t have to stay admitted in the hospital she can be discharged after the procedure is done. This treatment can be performed with or without hormonal treatment depending upon whether or not there are any problems with egg cell maturation.

The intention of this procedure is to insert washed sperm at a high concentration close to the egg cell in order to improve the possibility of impregnation.

 This technique reduces the distance for the sperms that are less motile but they have to reach the egg cell on their own.

IUI Treatment PROCEDURE

Before the intrauterine insemination procedure, the patient will need to visit an infertility specialist and undergo a pre-IUI checkup. With this checkup, the doctor will determine if the patient is in the best of health. The doctor will determine the patient’s hormone levels to see if they are in the normal range and check to see if the patient’s uterus can support a pregnancy.

The doctor may prescribe the ovulation drugs to the patient days or weeks before the couple undergoes the IUI procedure, while closely monitoring her with ultrasound and/or blood testing. This monitoring will confirm that the patient is producing healthy eggs. It will also help the doctor determine the best time for the injecting the sperm.

The patient may undertake another test that tells her when ovulation is about to happen. Right before ovulation, there is a surge in Luteinizing Hormone (LH). Ovulation occurs within 1-2 days after the LH surge. The doctor will inject the sperm into the patient’s uterus at the optimal time for the highest chances of conception.

PREPARING FOR THE IUI Treatment

The specimen of the sperm will need to be provided before the treatment of IUI(in this procedure, the semen sample is washed in the lab to separate the semen from the seminal fluid). Once the procedure is done successfully, the infertility specialist inserts a speculum into the vagina so that the cervix is clearly visible as it is located at the back.

The doctor might use a mild cleaning solution to clean the uterus and the surrounding vaginal tissues. A little quantity of the concentrated sperm will be drawn into a syringe attached to a tiny catheter. The cervix moves the catheter, and then the sperm is inserted into the uterus. The catheter and speculum are removed, and the patient might be asked to rest for a short-term period.

This procedure can be done in both ways: with or without utilizing the medications. For patients needing ovulation-stimulating medication, careful monitoring is more than necessary to determine when the eggs are mature. The doctor will initiate the IUI treatment when it is almost the time of ovulation (ovulation usually takes place approximately 24-36 hours after a surge in the LH hormone).

AFTER IUI

After the procedure, the patient might be asked to lie down and rest for a while after which she’s free to go about her normal routine tasks. Some patients might experience cramps and light spotting a day or two after the procedure.

IUI Treatment RESULTS

The patient must wait for at least two weeks before attempting at-home pregnancy test to see the actual results.

If this test is attempted anytime before this time period, any of the two below mentioned results might appear:

False-positive: if the patient is taking medications for the ovulation stimulation, the test results can show a positive result even though the patient is not pregnant because of the medication that is still circulating her body.

False-negative: the test results might show negative even if the patient is pregnant as the hormones are not in the measurable quantity yet.

The doctor might instruct the patient to return approximately two weeks after her home kit pregnancy results for a blood test, which is better and more sensitive to the conception hormones after fertilization takes place.

If the patient doesn’t conceive, she might try IUI once more before switching over to the alternative infertility treatments. Often, the same procedure is done for at least three to six months to maximize the possibilities of impregnation.

RISK with IUI

Though the procedure is performed with the utmost care and precaution, the chances of catching an infection cannot be ruled out completely.

There are various risks associated with IUI. some of them are:

Infection

Likelihood of pregnancy with multiples

Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS) might occur as a result of ovaries over-responding to the medications.

Enlarged and painful ovaries, fluid build-up in the abdomen and cramps due to overstimulation.

etc.

IUI VS IVF

IUI and IVF are both used for the treatment of problems of infertility but there are some basic differences between the two which helps a patient decide which one to opt for when going for the infertility treatments. We will be listing below all the details that you need to know about both the treatments.

MEANING

IUI stands for INTRAUTERINE INSEMINATION and is a technique wherein the sperms are washed and placed in concentrated amounts directly into the uterus. This technique makes the distance shorter for the sperms though, they have to travel to fuse with the waiting egg.

IVF stands for IN VITRO FERTILISATION this is a technique in which the eggs of the female are extracted and are made to fertilise in a petri dish in the controlled environment of the laboratory either by the sperms of the partner or donor sperms.

IUI is a less invasive technique than IVF meaning thereby that the instruments entering the body, piercings, injections and lacerations on the body are lesser than those in IVF

IUI/ IVF Treatment Cost in Jaipur

IUI: The IUI cost in Jaipur is affordable as a single IUI cycle costs only Rs.3000. Despite getting success in the first cycle itself, the patient might incur the cost of around Rs. 10,000 (this includes all the tests and ultrasound scans prior to the commencement of IUI procedure).

IVF: The IVF cost in procedure in Jaipur typically ranges between 1 to 1.25 Lakh per cycle (including all treatments, test, and other diagnostic and surgical systems ). The cost of a test tube baby might be quite substantial in the pockets, and also, since the procedure has no definitive ceiling, thus, inspecting health overheads can be quite confronting.

The IVF cost in Jaipur or even across the globe is ever increasing as the latest diagnostic tests, and treatment methods (like hysteroscopy, Laparoscopy, IUI) are utilized to support and expedite infertility treatments at affordable prices.

These aspects are the reason, there is no ceiling to the amount of money that a couple can invest in their chase for the baby.

Though IUI is cheaper than IVF, the patient must consult the doctor to know what procedure is better for her as, in most cases, medications help the couple to realise their dream of being parents.

Under the age of 35: 10-20% chances of pregnancy
