What is IUI?
Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a specialized fertility procedure that executes the delivery of a highly concentrated sample of washed sperm right into the patient's uterus. It is a type of artificial insemination that can help people or couples. It is often used in cases of unexplained infertility, mild male factor infertility, or donor sperm.
How Does IUI Work?
IUI can help to increase the chances of pregnancy by maximizing the number of healthy sperm that will reach the fallopian tubes. The procedure bypasses the cervix entirely with the use of a catheter and reduces the distance the sperm must travel. With this targeted delivery, the best-quality sperm is delivered into the uterine cavity at just the right time which is ovulation.
The IUI Treatment Process at Precision IVF
The clinical IUI procedure at Precision IVF follows a precise timeline over the course of your treatment cycle. Under the expert guidance of Dr. Sushila Arya, a leading IUI specialist in Dallas, your personalized treatment process is managed entirely in-house through six structured stages at our fertility clinic:
Initial Fertility Consultation and Testing
The first step in your treatment process at our Dallas fertility clinic is a complete consultation. Dr. Sushila Arya will review your medical history, conduct diagnostic tests like ovarian reserve testing and semen analysis and set the clinical plan for your upcoming IUI cycle.
Ovarian Monitoring and Stimulation
Our IUI specialist may prescribe medications, either oral or injectable, to stimulate the growth of follicles, or watch a natural cycle of growth. With the help of transvaginal ultrasound and blood tests, Dr. Sushila Arya and our clinical team can monitor how follicles are developing and determine your exact fertile window.
Triggering Ovulation
After the follicles are optimally mature, an injection of a hormone is given. This stimulates ovulation and enables our fertility clinic to time insemination for the optimal times of fertility.
Laboratory Sperm Preparation
A semen sample is collected at the time of the procedure and sent to our Dallas laboratory. Our technicians do a special washing of sperm to remove cellular debris and very poor quality sperm, leaving a very strong sperm sample for treatment.
The Insemination Procedure
The last phase of the treatment is taken care of directly in our IUI fertility clinic. Dr. Sushila Arya will introduce a thin and flexible catheter into the uterus and guide the prepared sperm into the uterus. This clinical procedure is quick, it does not require anesthesia and it causes little physical discomfort.
Post-procedure assistance and pregnancy testing.
Progesterone may be prescribed after the insemination to help maintain the lining of the uterus. Two weeks after treatment, our IUI clinic carries out a clinical blood test to find out whether or not the cycle was successful.

When IUI is NOT recommended:
- Severe or bilateral fallopian tube blockages (since fertilization still needs to happen in the fallopian tube).
- Male factor infertility, which is too severe to consider laboratory processing of viable sperm.
- For more complicated pelvic disorders, extreme endometriosis, or advanced ages, IVF is the clinically recommended treatment process.
Who is the Best Candidate for IUI?
At our Dallas fertility clinic, Dr. Sushila Arya examines your diagnostic testing to make sure that IUI is the proper clinical procedure for you.
The ideal candidates for IUI:
- Unexplained Infertility: Couples who have undergone full evaluation and still have not found a clinical explanation for the problem in conceiving.
- Mild Male Factor Infertility: When there is a slightly low sperm count or motility, or a morphology abnormality, a lab sperm wash will be able to concentrate the sample again.
- Cervical Factor Barriers: Women whose cervical mucous secretions make it difficult for natural sperm movement.
- Ovulatory Dysfunction or Ejaculatory Dysfunction: People who have to take ovulation induction drugs or couples who have a physical problem with natural intercourse.
- Donor Sperm Users: Single women or couples who are using frozen donor sperm specimens.
