Question 1

Does IUI take longer to achieve pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

IUI fertilization usually happens within a day or two of the treatment. Within the female reproductive canal, sperm can live up to seven days. Sperm could fertilize the egg up to seven days later if ovulation is delayed.

Question 2

Can the sperm slip out after an IUI procedure?

Accepted Answer

Once injected into the uterus, the sperm does not come out. The patient can experience wetness after the IUI procedure because the catheter loosens the cervical mucous.

Question 3

Is IUI different from IVF?

Accepted Answer

The technique of fertilizing an ovum and sperm outside of the uterus in a laboratory is known as in vitro fertilization (IVF). The infertility doctor implants the resultant embryos into the uterus to achieve pregnancy. In IUI, fertilization takes place once the sperm is introduced into the uterus.

Question 4

What is the success rate of IUI?

Accepted Answer

The success rate of IUI treatment is around 15% to 20%. However, several conditions beyond the surgeons' control influence the success rate. IUI, on the other hand, has a lower success rate than IVF.
