Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is a fertility treatment that stands at the heart of our specialized services at Aster CMI Hospital's IVF department. We specialize in providing couples with exceptional care as they embark on their journey to parenthood. Our approach to IUI is focused on delivering the best possible outcomes and the highest standards of patient care. Here's how we specialize in IUI under two primary approaches:
Natural Cycle IUI: At Aster CMI Hospital, we specialize in Natural Cycle IUI for women with regular ovulatory cycles. Our expertise lies in closely monitoring the natural menstrual cycle and expertly timing the IUI procedure to align with the woman's expected ovulation. This approach is celebrated for its "natural" essence as it doesn't involve the use of fertility medications. It is less invasive and often preferred by couples who seek a gentler, more personalized fertility treatment option.
Stimulated Cycle IUI: In contrast, our specialization extends to Stimulated Cycle IUI, which involves the use of fertility medications, such as clomiphene citrate or letrozole or gonadotropins. Our expertise in this method ensures precise control over ovarian stimulation, leading to the production of multiple eggs. This approach is invaluable when natural ovulation or follicular growth are irregular or when a higher chance of multiple eggs for fertilization is desired.
In the realm of risks, we acknowledge that IUI is generally low-risk but not entirely without potential concerns. Our specialists are well-equipped to address these aspects with care and precision, ensuring you are fully informed about the personalized success rates and risks associated with your unique situation. At Aster CMI Hospital, we have successfully established IUI as a well-regarded and low-risk fertility treatment. It offers couples a personalized, less invasive, and highly effective option to enhance their prospects of achieving their dream of parenthood.
