Trying for a baby and wondering what’s next? For many couples, IUI is a simple, gentle and affordable step — often worth trying well before IVF.
IUI — intrauterine insemination — is one of the simplest fertility treatments there is. Around the time of ovulation, a prepared, concentrated sample of the healthiest sperm is placed directly into the uterus, giving them a real head start toward the egg. It’s quick, virtually painless, needs no anaesthesia, and costs a fraction of IVF — which is why, for the right couples, it’s a sensible thing to try first.
Dr. Agarwal only recommends IUI when it genuinely fits your situation — after understanding both partners with a few simple tests. Where it’s suitable, she times it carefully around your natural cycle or with gentle ovulation support, and guides you through each step. Her whole approach to fertility is to start with the least you need: more than 300 women have conceived under her care without ever needing IVF.
IUI suits couples with unexplained infertility, mild male-factor issues, ovulation problems such as PCOS, or difficulties with timing or intercourse — provided the fallopian tubes are open and sperm quality is reasonable. Where these fit, IUI is a fair, low-cost thing to try before considering IVF.

IUI is a great fit for some couples and not others — a quick assessment tells.
Unexplained infertility, mild male-factor, ovulation issues like PCOS, or timing difficulties — with open tubes and reasonable sperm quality.
A few simple tests for both partners — a semen analysis, a check that tubes are open, and cycle tracking — confirm whether IUI is worth it.
If IUI isn’t likely to help, Dr. Agarwal will say so plainly and guide you to what will — no unnecessary cycles, no false hope.
Simple, low-stress, and built around your natural cycle.
An IUI cycle is straightforward and mostly involves a few short visits. There’s no surgery and no hospital stay — most women are back to normal the same day.
Your cycle is followed with a scan or two, sometimes with gentle tablets to support healthy ovulation.
The moment of ovulation is pinpointed so the insemination lands in the ideal window.
On the day, the sample is “washed” in the lab to concentrate the healthiest, most active sperm.
A quick, near-painless placement of the sperm into the uterus — over in minutes, no anaesthesia, then rest and home.
Careful timing, honest counsel, and support through the two-week wait.
The single biggest factor in IUI success is timing — and it’s exactly what close cycle monitoring gets right.
Where needed, mild, well-monitored tablets or injections encourage one or two healthy eggs — never over-stimulated.
Clear guidance through the two-week wait, and an honest, kind plan for what comes next whatever the result.

No — IUI is quick and virtually painless. It feels similar to a routine internal examination, needs no anaesthesia, and takes only a few minutes, after which you rest briefly and go home.
IUI is far simpler and cheaper. In IUI, prepared sperm is placed into the uterus around ovulation and fertilisation happens naturally inside the body. IVF involves collecting eggs and fertilising them in a lab. For suitable couples, IUI is a fair thing to try first.
Success depends on age, the cause of infertility and sperm quality, and often takes more than one cycle. Dr. Agarwal will give you a realistic, personal estimate after your assessment rather than a one-size-fits-all figure.
Commonly around three well-timed cycles are tried before reconsidering. If IUI isn’t working or isn’t suitable, Dr. Agarwal will discuss next steps honestly.
Yes — a semen analysis for your partner and a check that your tubes are open and you’re ovulating. These simple tests make sure IUI is worth doing and give it the strongest chance.
