Frequently asked questions

Is IUI painful?

IUI is usually painless and takes only a few minutes. Some women feel mild cramping, similar to a Pap test.

How many IUI cycles should we try?

This depends on age, the cause of infertility and test results. Many doctors review the plan after about three cycles. Your doctor will advise you based on your situation.

Do both fallopian tubes need to be open for IUI?

At least one healthy, open fallopian tube is needed for IUI. Tubal patency is usually checked with an HSG test before IUI.
