Create a family with IUI

Commonly used fertility treatment for same-sex female couples, single women, or heterosexual couples. Speak with an advisor and we’ll figure out if it’s right for you.

What’s IUI?

IUI, or Intrauterine Insemination, is a commonly used fertility treatment where sperm are injected directly into the womb during a short procedure. The treatment can be carried out during a natural ovulation cycle, or with female hormone therapy to stimulate egg production.

Should I try IUI or IVF?

IUI is a less invasive and more natural form of treatment than IVF, often used as a treatment with donor sperm However, if there is a problem with your partner's sperm, or you have an infertility diagnosis, the chances of pregnancy can decrease. For this reason, it’s common that multiple cycles of IUI are necessary, or IVF is offered as an alternative treatment should you not fall pregnant.

How IUI works

1
Ovulation tests
For natural IUI treatment, our specialists will begin by carrying out tests to determine the correct time of ovulation.
2
Hormone therapy
In the case of stimulated IUI treatment, patients will also begin with hormone therapy, to assist egg production in the ovaries.
3
Sperm processing
Following this, the donor or partner sperm is washed and processed, leaving only the most active sperm remaining. Insemination is a quick and simple procedure, where the washed sperm is inserted into the uterus using a fine catheter.
4
You take a pregnancy test
Finally, a pregnancy test will be taken, usually around two weeks later. Our advisors will be there to discuss next steps following the pregnancy test.

We do accept donor sperm from a selection of other reputable sperm banks - please contact our team if you wish to use another sperm bank.


This package includes all treatment services and medication required for one single full IUI cycle. Please contact our team to discuss subsequent, or multi cycle options.


The HFEA considers that there isn't enough evidence to support the efficacy of some "add-on" treatments such as time-lapse imaging or PGS, which is why we do not include them in our standard pricing packages. We also do not include non-routine tests such as Natural Killer Cells or DNA fragmentation, although if required we would be happy to arrange them for you at additional cost.


In some cases, your consultant may prescribe additional medications on an individual basis to address specific concerns, for example, preventing blood clotting.

Some of these may not be included in your treatment package and would therefore be subject to additional charges.

Pergoveris

Clexane and Aspirin

Trental

Steroids (eg prednisolone)

Thyroxine

Progesterone Injections (eg lubion or IM injections)

In the unfortunate event that your cycle is cancelled, or certain milestones are not met, we are committed to refunding you part of your treatment cost.
