Expert IUI (Intrauterine Insemination) treatment with personalised fertility plans, advanced monitoring, and compassionate support at every step.
Understanding IUI
Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is a fertility treatment in which specially prepared, high-quality sperm are placed directly into the uterus around the time of ovulation — giving sperm a shorter distance to travel to the egg.
It's a simpler, less invasive procedure than IVF, often recommended as a first line of treatment for couples with mild fertility challenges, and can be done with or without ovulation-stimulating medication.
At Sanjeevini, every IUI cycle is closely monitored with ultrasound and hormone tracking, so timing is precise and your chances of success are optimized.

How treatment works, step by step
From your first scan to your pregnancy test, here's what to expect during an IUI cycle at Sanjeevini.
ultrasound monitoring
Ovulation Monitoring
Tracking your fertile window
Regular ultrasounds and hormone tests track follicle growth, with or without mild ovulation-stimulating medication, to identify the ideal day for insemination.
trigger shot / timing
Trigger & Timing
Precisely timing ovulation
Once the lead follicle is mature, a trigger injection is given to induce ovulation, and the IUI procedure is scheduled 24–36 hours later for optimal timing.
lab sample preparation
Sperm Preparation
Selecting the healthiest sperm
The sperm sample is washed and concentrated in our lab to isolate the most active, healthy sperm, removing seminal fluid and debris before insemination.

The IUI Procedure
A quick, painless insertion
Using a thin, flexible catheter, the prepared sperm sample is placed directly into the uterus — a simple 15–20 minute procedure needing no anaesthesia.
pregnancy test / follow-up
Pregnancy Test
The two-week wait
A beta hCG blood test around 14 days after the procedure confirms whether the cycle was successful, with our team supporting you throughout the wait.
Is IUI right for you?
IUI is often the first treatment recommended for couples facing these fertility challenges. A consultation with our team will confirm whether it's suitable for you.
Mild Male Factor Infertility
Slightly low sperm count or motility can be addressed by concentrating the healthiest sperm before insemination.
Unexplained Infertility
When no clear cause is found, IUI is often tried first as a simpler, lower-cost option before IVF.
Ovulation Disorders
Irregular ovulation can be corrected with medication, combined with precisely timed insemination.
Cervical Factor Infertility
IUI bypasses the cervix entirely, helping when cervical mucus makes it hard for sperm to reach the egg.
Mild Endometriosis
Early-stage endometriosis that hasn't affected the tubes may still respond well to IUI treatment.
Using Donor Sperm
Single women or couples using donor sperm can conceive through a straightforward IUI procedure.
Which treatment is right for you?
Both are proven fertility treatments — the right one depends on your diagnosis, age and treatment history. Here's how they compare.
IUI
- Procedure: Sperm placed inside the uterus; fertilization happens naturally
- Invasiveness: Minimal — no sedation, no surgery
- Timeline: One menstrual cycle, 15–20 minute procedure
- Best suited for: Mild male factor, unexplained infertility, cervical factor, donor sperm
- Cost: Lower cost per cycle than IVF
IVF
- Procedure: Egg fertilized with sperm in a lab, embryo transferred to uterus
- Invasiveness: Egg retrieval under light sedation; embryo transfer is painless
- Timeline: 4–6 weeks per full cycle
- Best suited for: Blocked tubes, severe male factor, advanced age, failed IUI cycles
- Success rate: Generally higher success rate per cycle than IUI
