Artificial Insemination

What is Artificial Insemination?

Artificial insemination, also known as Intrauterine Insemination (IUI), is a sophisticated technique that involves introducing a carefully prepared and selected sample of sperm into the uterus using a specialized catheter. This procedure is typically performed during the woman's ovulation phase. The sperm used for insemination can either come from the woman's partner in Conjugal Artificial Insemination (CAI) or from an anonymous compatible donor (DAI), who undergoes comprehensive medical screenings to ensure the absence of transmissible diseases.

In order to induce ovulation during the Artificial Insemination process, the woman has the option of minimal hormonal stimulation or proceeding with a spontaneous cycle, allowing for natural ovulation. Opting for a natural cycle reduces side effects, eliminates daily injections, and minimizes the risk of multiple pregnancies. However, it is important to note that pregnancy rates may be slightly lower compared to cases where hormonal treatment is employed.

Regardless of the chosen approach, diligent monitoring of the follicular cycle is necessary, involving 2-3 visits to the gynecologist, where vaginal ultrasounds and hormone analysis may be conducted if deemed necessary.
