Multiple IUI Failure - Symptoms & Treatment
Being a parent is one of the most beautiful experiences . At such time failure after repeated attempts at conception can be extremely frustrating. Medical assistance in the process of conception comes in handy.
One such process which increases the chances of conception in infertile couples is IUI (Intrauterine Insemination). In the normal course, sperm from the semen ejaculated by male has to travel up to the uterus after travelling through the vagina and the cervix before ultimately reaching the fallopian tubes after passing through the uterus. However, in IUI the sperm extracted from male is directly placed in the woman’s uterus to increase its proximity to the egg.
This IUI procedure increases chances of fertilization and there after pregnancy .
The success rate of IUI is always more than when the couple tries naturally .

FAQ’s
Why does IUI fail?
One of the most common reasons for IUI failure is poor sperm quality. In most cases, poorly motile sperms are not strong enough to reach the fallopian tubes and complete the process of fertilization. On the other hand, the timing of IUI plays a crucial role; that means if the sperm transfer is due within 12-24 hours of ovulation, the egg present in the fallopian tube will disintegrate.
Next step after failed IUI
Patients who have had two or more failed IUIs are more likely to consider IVF. Given the high success rates of IUI, several couples opt for three or more cycles before attempting IVF.
How many times should you try IUI treatment before switching to IVF?
Although there is no regulation , Fertility experts recommend three rounds of IUI before considering IVF for women under 35; however, it may go up to six in some carefully selected cases. Given that age has a significant impact on fertility, this recommendation will likely be lower if you are over 35 and depending on reports such couples may directly opt for IVF treatment .
Should I go for IVF or IUI?
Fertilization occurs in the body through IUI, whereas during IVF, fertilization takes place in the lab. Generally, IUI may be the only treatment needed. But fertility specialists may suggest IVF if IUI does not work. And more importantly success rate of IVF is much higher than IUI .
Is IUI time-consuming and painful?
The insemination procedure is pretty quick and takes about 5-10 minutes. IUI is a day care procedure . You don’t need anaesthesia for IUI , But some people may experience symptoms of mild cramping which can be relived after medications.
Is bed rest required after IUI?
Lying in supine position for 10 and 20 min after intrauterine insemination has been advised to improve results , but complete bed rest after IUI is not required and never advised.
