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.
