Infertility has been increasing drastically in recent times due to a number of factors like lifestyle, stress, pollution, environmental conditions, etc. It is one of the most painful experiences to discover that one is unable to conceive due to one or more reasons.
Well, every problem comes with a solution. Thankfully, Reproductive Medicine has also provided a solution to such issues through assisted reproductive technology. IVF and IUI procedures have proved to be a boon to couples who now can turn their dream of having a baby into an amazing reality. Among the various ART procedures, intrauterine insemination (IUI) is the most common and preferred treatment as it is a relatively simple and cost-effective treatment.
What is IUI?
It is usually the first line of treatment for infertility which involves retrieval of sperms from the male partner, isolating healthy sperms, and placing them directly into the uterus for conception to occur. The success of IUIs depends on various factors.
How many IUIs cycles should you try?
When trying to conceive through IUI and if the first attempt has not worked, the most common question that arises is what is the number of times IUI can be attempted before moving on to a different procedure.
The number of IUI cycles to be tried depends on the age of a woman and is generally between 3-6 cycles.
Apart from age, the success of IUI depends on a number of factors like:
• Quality of eggs
• Quality of sperm
• Ovulation
• Endometrial lining
• Stimulation protocol used
• Skill of the technician preparing the semen sample
• Skill of the clinician performing the actual insemination procedure
If there is an issue with any of the above, IUI has chances of failure even with repeated attempts.
What should you do if multiple IUIs have failed?
Once multiple IUI attempts have failed, the next step would be to proceed with an IVF. With IVF procedure, the egg and the sperm are combined and developed in a laboratory setting to form a viable embryo and the embryo thus formed is placed inside the uterus to continue the pregnancy. With ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) during an IVF, even with male factor infertility, the chances of conception are increased as the fertilization is done through sperm injection into the egg.
With the above, it is obvious that the procedures require a lot of expertise and it is, therefore, necessary that you must consult a specialist who can guide you throughout the treatment process. So, if you have had IUI failure, you still have high chances to conceive. Approach the best fertility hospital near you to know more about these procedures.
