  1. Why Choose IUI Over IVF For Fertility? Why Choose IUI Over IVF For Fertility? January 03, 2022 Many couples who are struggling to conceive turn to fertility treatments like in-vitro fertilization (IVF). However, there is another treatment option that is often overlooked – intrauterine insemination (IUI). This post will compare and contrast IVF and IUI, and explain why more couples should choose IUI over IVF. First, we will look at what each treatment entails. Then, we will explore the benefits of IUI over IVF. Finally, we will discuss the drawbacks of each treatment. By the end of this post, you will be able to make an informed decision about which fertility treatment is right for you. How Does IUI Work? IUI is a fertility treatment that is administered by a doctor or nurse. The couple's egg and sperm are placed in a catheter, which the doctor inserts through the cervix and into the uterus. Once inside, it releases the egg and sperm where they can meet to create an embryo. This process takes approximately 30 minutes - 1 hour . How Does IVF Work?

  2. During IVF, eggs are harvested from the ovaries before fertilization. Before this happens, you will be given injections (to stimulate your follicles) and oral medications (to prevent premature ovulation). You must use at least one of your own eggs for this treatment; therefore, if you have lost an egg or have low ovarian reserve, IVF may not be the right option. Once your eggs are ready, they will be placed in a petri dish with your partner's sperm for fertilization to take place. The embryos will then grow in the lab before being transferred back into your uterus or frozen for later use (if one or more embryos are not implanted immediately). Benefits Of IUI Over IVF IUI is less invasive than IVF. Since you do not need to harvest eggs, there is no risk of damage to the ovaries . It can be used if you have unexplained infertility or mild endometriosis . In cases where male factor infertility is present, IUI offers couples a chance at pregnancy without the need for extensive testing or invasive treatments. If you are concerned about your ovarian reserve , you can still benefit from IUI because no eggs are needed. This is also true of couples who have had repeated IVF failures. IUI allows them to try again without restarting their fertility journey . Your partner does not have to give a sperm sample, which means that the entire process is simpler and faster . It may be an excellent choice for women who cannot take hormones or drugs due to health issues . Finally, it works well in combination with intrauterine insemination (IUI) cycles ! Benefits Of IVF Over IUI IVF offers more certainty than IUI. Since the embryo is created outside the body, you can be sure that it will be healthy . This means no guesswork, and no stress. It is more likely to result in multiple births because more than one embryo can be implanted at a time . If you are older or concerned about your age affecting

  3. your chances of conceiving, IVF may give you peace of mind . You do not have to rely on using your partner's sperm, which makes IUI less effective for single women who want to become mothers . It is also performed in an outpatient setting, so you do not need to stay overnight at the hospital. Drawbacks Of IUI Over IVF IUI is not as precise as IVF. Your doctor does not choose which embryos are transferred into your uterus; this is decided by the embryologist . Your doctor will use an ultrasound to monitor your IUI cycle, but since he or she can't see exactly what's happening with each embryo inside of you, it's hard to know when transfer should take place . It also means that patients using IUI may experience more miscarriages than those who choose IVF.
