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.
