FAQs

How many IUI cycles should we try?▾

Many couples try 3–4 well‑timed cycles before moving to IVF, but this depends on age, diagnosis, and response. We review results cycle‑by‑cycle and recommend the next step.

Is IUI painful?▾

IUI is usually quick and causes mild cramping at most. Most patients describe it as similar to a routine pelvic exam.

Can IUI be done with donor sperm?▾

Yes. Donor‑sperm IUI is an option with appropriate counseling, screening, and consent. We’ll guide you through the eligibility and legal requirements.
