Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)
Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is an assisted reproductive technique (ART) that places the best quality sperm into the uterine cavity for fertilisation with an egg. A highly successful and affordable treatment option, Southeast Fertility Services recommends couples and individuals consider IUI as the first step in assisted conception.
The first IUI cycle takes 4 weeks during which time the team will:
- Ensure you understand all aspect of this treatment pathway.
- Present you with an individualised treatment care plan.
- Ensure you receive the best standard of care in compliance with the Irish Medicines Board.
- Identify the best quality sperm through a comprehensive laboratory semen analysis.
- Complete the IUI procedure, whereby the gynaecologist inserts sperm into the uterus.
Additional costs may include:
- First consultation with the gynaecologist.
- Viral screening (required by the EU Tissue and Cells Directive).
- Trans-vaginal ultrasound follicle tracking scan.
- Ultrasound scan to confirm viable pregnancy.
