What is IUI?
Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a simple and non-invasive fertility treatment that involves placing sperm directly into the uterus using a small catheter. This procedure helps the sperm bypass the cervix, increasing the chances of fertilization and ultimately, pregnancy. IUI is recommended for couples with mild male factor infertility, unexplained infertility, or when other treatments have not been successful. In this package, you will learn about the benefits of undergoing IUI treatment in Iran and why it could be the perfect choice for you.
IUI Step by Step
1.Consultation of IUI in Iran
Before undergoing the Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) procedure in Iran with Floramedtour, clients will have an in-depth consultation with a fertility specialist. During this stage, the specialist will evaluate the patient’s medical history, perform necessary tests, and discuss the likelihood of success for the procedure. The consultation aims to ensure the IUI procedure is the right option for the patient and to address any concerns they may have.
2.The IUI Procedure
The IUI procedure generally involves placing specially washed sperm directly into the uterus to increase the chances of conception. However, for a successful pregnancy one cycle might not be enough. Depending on individual circumstances and factors such as age, fertility issues, and overall health, specialists recommend trying up to 3-6 cycles. One cycle of IUI usually takes around 28 days to complete and typically consists of the following steps:
- Ovulation Monitoring: The woman’s ovulation cycle is carefully monitored daily for several days or weeks. This process begins on day 10 or 11 through blood tests and ultrasound to identify the. the time of ovulation, which typically occurs around day 14.
- Sperm Collection and Preparation: The male partner provides a sperm sample, which is then washed and concentrated for approximately 1-2 hours to select the best quality sperm for insemination. The sperm collection usually takes place on the day of the IUI procedure, although it may also be collected earlier and frozen for later use.
- Insemination: A small catheter is used to insert the prepared sperm directly into the uterus, increasing the chances of fertilization. This is usually performed within 6 hours after the sperm collection and preparation and the process takes no more than a few minutes.
- Pregnancy Test: A pregnancy test is conducted approximately two weeks after the IUI procedure to determine if the treatment has been successful.
3.IUI Recovery
After the IUI procedure, patients can expect a brief recovery period. During the first week, it is essential to follow specific guidelines to maximize the chances of a successful outcome:
- Rest for the first 24 hours after the procedure
- Maintain a healthy diet and stay hydrated
- Engage in light physical activities, such as walking, to promote blood circulation
- Take any prescribed medications as directed by the fertility specialist
- Avoid strenuous activities that may strain the pelvic area during the first week
- Refrain from sexual intercourse for a few days, as advised by the specialist
- Avoid hot baths or saunas, as high temperatures may negatively affect fertility
- Do not consume alcohol or smoke during the two-week period between the IUI procedure and the pregnancy test
4.IUI Follow-up
Floramedtour is committed to providing its clients with comprehensive follow-up services for two years after the IUI procedure. During this period, you will have ongoing communication with specialists to ensure a successful outcome and fruitful results. The recovery process will be closely monitored, and any concerns will be promptly addressed. After the first week, you should still continue to follow these guidelines:
- Maintain a healthy lifestyle, including diet and exercise
- Try to eat fruits such as bananas, apples, pears, kiwi, and avocados. These can provide essential nutrients and antioxidants to the body
- Include whole grains lean proteins healthy fats and plenty of vegetables into your diet
- Stay well-hydrated and get plenty of water
- Keep track of your menstrual cycle and report any irregularities
- Engage in activities that may cause stress or anxiety, as emotional wellbeing plays a role in fertility
- In case of a successful pregnancy, the female partner should avoid drinking or smoking during the whole pregnancy period

Who Is/Isn’t a Good Candidate for IUI?
IUI can be an effective fertility treatment for some couples. However, it might not be the ideal choice for all candidates due to various factors. The following list highlights who might be suitable or unsuitable for IUI treatment:
Who might be good candidates:
- Unexplained infertility: IUI helps when the cause of infertility is unknown.
- Mild male factor infertility: IUI places healthy sperm closer to the egg.
- Cervical mucus problems: IUI bypasses hostile cervical mucus.
- Cervical scarring/anatomical issues: IUI enables sperm to bypass obstacles.
- Sexual dysfunction: IUI offers an alternative method of conception.
- Donor sperm: IUI is a common method for using donor sperm.
- Ovulation issues: If a woman has irregular ovulation or does not ovulate at all, IUI can be combined with fertility medications to stimulate ovulation and increase the chances of conception.
Who might not be good IUI candidates:
- Severe male factor infertility: In vitro fertilization (IVF) with intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) may be more effective.
- Blocked or damaged fallopian tubes: IVF can bypass the need for functional fallopian tubes.
- Advanced maternal age (typically over 40): IVF with or without preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) may offer better success rates.
- Moderate to severe endometriosis: IVF can be a better option.
- Poor ovarian reserve or low egg quality: IVF with donor eggs may be the solution.
How to prepare for IUI?
A good preparation is necessary to have a high chance of a successful fertility treatment. By adopting specific lifestyle changes and following certain guidelines, clients can improve their likelihood of achieving a healthy pregnancy. Meanwhile, make sure that you follow the below instructions during your preparation:
- Maintain a healthy diet: Consume a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats.
- Manage stress: Engage in stress-reducing activities such as yoga, meditation, or mindfulness practices.
- Maintain a healthy weight: Aim to achieve a BMI within the recommended range for optimal fertility.
- Exercise moderately: Engage in regular, moderate-intensity exercise to improve overall health and well-being.
- Stop smoking: Refrain from smoking at least two to three months before starting the IUI treatment.
- Limit alcohol consumption: Reduce or eliminate alcohol consumption several weeks before IUI to promote a healthy reproductive environment.
- Take prenatal vitamins: Begin taking prenatal vitamins containing folic acid to support a healthy pregnancy.
- Monitor ovulation: Track your ovulation using ovulation predictor kits or fertility apps to help time the IUI procedure accurately.
IUI Success Rate and Failure
The success rate of IUI (Intrauterine Insemination) procedures can be influenced by various factors. These include age, ovarian reserve, sperm quality and count, the cause of infertility, timing of the IUI, and the use of fertility medications. Generally, the average IUI success rate per cycle is around 10-20% for women under 35 years, 10-15% for women aged 35-40 years, and 5% or lower for women over 40 years. Note that it is quite possible that you have to try IUI for more than one time to gain successful results. Generally, doctors may recommend trying IUI 3-6 times before considering other fertility treatments. Here you can find the main factors that can lead into IUI failure:
- Poor sperm quality or low sperm count
- Low ovarian reserve or poor egg quality
- Blocked or damaged fallopian tubes
- Severe endometriosis
- Incorrect timing of the IUI procedure
- Unmanaged underlying medical conditions

What is Uterine Septum and can IUI treat it?
Uterine septum is a type of congenital uterine anomaly in which the uterus of the woman involves a wall or “septum” of tissue which divides the uterus into two sections. For some women, this can lead into problems during pregnancy and delivery. To resolve this issue, a surgical procedure (called hysteroscopic septum resection), is recommended and Insemination (IUI) is not a typical solution for this issue.
