So-IUI consist of Superovulation & Intrauterine Insemination. For Superovulation, fertility drugs are given to produce between two to three mature follicles to increase the chances of conceive. These drugs may be either injections alone or a combination of Clomid and injections. Usually ultrasound scans will be carried out at intervals (CD10 and CD12 for my case) to determine the number and size of the follicles. Once the follicles grew to acceptable sizes, another injection (HCG) is given for final maturation and subsequent ovulation of these follicles. Insemination is done 36-40hrs after the HCG injection.
On the day of the insemination, DH's semen is spun and washed to separate sperm cells from semen, helping to get rid of dead or slow-moving sperm as well as additional chemicals that may impair fertilization. DH can produce the sample few hrs before the IUI, or freeze and bank it before that.
Once the semen is washed, gynae will place the motile fraction into the uterus using a fine catheter through the cervix. It takes abt 20 mins to complete the insemination. This process will cause slight discomfort, and u may have some spotting and cramping after that.
Hope this helps.
