Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is a simple and less invasive fertility treatment that helps increase the chances of pregnancy by placing healthy sperm directly into the uterus during ovulation. At NUR Fertility in Nairobi, we offer safe, affordable, and personalized IUI services as a first-line treatment for couples facing fertility challenges.
Whether you’re just beginning your fertility journey or looking for a low-intervention solution, IUI could be the right step for you.
IUI is a fertility procedure where prepared (washed and concentrated) sperm is inserted directly into the uterus at the optimal time in your cycle, usually during ovulation. This allows more sperm to reach the egg and increases the likelihood of fertilization.
Unlike IVF, IUI does not involve egg retrieval or fertilization outside the body — making it quicker, less expensive, and easier to undergo.
IUI may be ideal for:
Mild male infertility (low sperm count or motility)
Unexplained infertility
Cervical mucus problems
Ovulation disorders (with or without medication)
Same-sex couples or single women using donor sperm
Couples who prefer a less invasive first treatment option
Your doctor will assess your specific case to determine whether IUI is likely to be effective.
We provide a carefully timed, medically supervised IUI process, typically involving the following steps:
1. Ovulation Monitoring
Using blood tests and ultrasound, we track your cycle and pinpoint the ovulation window. Some patients may take fertility medications to stimulate ovulation and increase the number of eggs released.
2. Sperm Preparation
Semen (from a partner or donor) is collected and processed in our lab. This involves washing the sample to remove impurities and concentrate the healthiest sperm.
3. Insemination Procedure
At the optimal time, the prepared sperm is inserted into your uterus using a thin catheter. The procedure is quick, painless, and usually done in a few minutes without anesthesia.
4. Follow-up and Pregnancy Testing
Two weeks after insemination, a blood test is done to check for pregnancy. If it is not successful, the cycle can be repeated or adjusted as needed.
Success rates with IUI depend on age, cause of infertility, and whether fertility drugs are used. On average, chances of success range from 10% to 20% per cycle, with higher rates when multiple cycles are attempted.
For those who do not conceive after several IUI cycles, our specialists may recommend transitioning to IVF for higher success.
