Intrauterine insemination (IUI) — a type of artificial insemination is a procedure for treating infertility.

Sperm that have been washed and concentrated are placed directly in your uterus around the time your ovary releases one or more eggs to be fertilized.

The hoped-for outcome of intrauterine insemination is for the sperm to swim into the fallopian tube and fertilize a waiting egg, resulting in a normal pregnancy. Depending on the reasons for infertility, IUI can be coordinated with your normal cycle or with fertility medications

IVF

During IVF, mature eggs are collected (retrieved) from ovaries and fertilized by sperm in a lab. Then the fertilized egg (embryo) or eggs (embryos) are transferred to a uterus. One full cycle of IVF takes about three weeks. Sometimes these steps are split into different parts and the process can take longer.

IVF is the most effective form of assisted reproductive technology. The procedure can be done using your own eggs and your partner’s sperm. Or IVF may involve eggs, sperm or embryos from a known or anonymous donor.

ICSI

In intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), a single healthy sperm is injected directly into each mature egg. ICSI is often used when semen quality or number is a problem or if fertilization attempts during prior in vitro fertilization cycles failed.

Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is an assisted reproductive technique utilized to treat moderate to severe form of Male Factor infertility characterized with oligozoospermia (i.e. low sperm count) and asthenozoospermia (i.e. poor motility). It is the injection of a single sperm cell directly into an oocyte (egg) to create an embryo. ICSI is a modified form of Invitro Fertilization as fertilization takes place outside the woman body, the only different being that in conventional IVF sperms and oocytes (egg) are cultured together in an effort to achieve fertilization.
