intrauterine insemination (IUI)

This is an office procedure that attempts to heighten the probability of pregnancy by concentrating the healthiest sperm in the upper part of the uterus. After collection of an ejaculate, a semen sample is processed in our laboratory to remove the unwanted components of the seminal plasma. A small concentrated volume of sperm is then deposited into the uterus via a catheter (thin straw-like device).
