Treatment for infertility includes intrauterine insemination (IUI), a type of artificial insemination. When your ovary releases one or more eggs for fertilization, concentrated and cleaned sperm are immediately injected into your uterus. The intended result of intrauterine insemination is for the sperm to travel into the fallopian tube, fertilize an egg that is already mature, and produce a pregnancy. Depending on the underlying causes of infertility, IUI can be timed to coincide with your regular cycle or with fertility drugs.

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is a fertility treatment where sperm is placed directly into the woman's uterus during her most fertile window. It's often used in conjunction with ovulation induction medications.
Success rates vary depending on age and infertility causes. Multiple cycles may be needed. IUI can be less expensive than IVF.
