The Fertilysis IVF Program
The Fertilysis IUI program
IUI stands for Intrauterine Insemination, a minimally invasive fertility treatment that places laboratory-prepared sperm directly into the uterus during ovulation.
By bypassing the cervix and depositing motile sperm closer to the egg, IUI increases the chance of fertilization — especially in situations where sperm motility or cervical mucus may be limiting factors. The procedure is brief and painless for most patients. It’s usually done in the clinic without anesthesia and takes only a few minutes. Most women return to normal activity right away. IUI may be performed in a natural cycle or with mild ovarian stimulation to ensure a mature follicle is available. Our clinicians monitor ovulation using ultrasound and hormonal tracking, scheduling the insemination precisely when chances are highest.
IUI is often recommended for:
√ Unexplained infertility
√ And follow up with your healthcare provider for regular check-ups and monitoring of thrombophilia-related parameters, especially if you have additional risk factors
√ Mild male-factor infertility, when sperm count or motility are slightly reduced
√ Cervical-factor infertility
√ Couples preferring a less invasive option to IVF

In the stimulated cycle hormonal injections are used to force all available follicles, in both ovaries, to grow in a synchronous manner, so that we can retrieve more than one oocyte at egg collection (optimal number: 5-15). In the natural cycle, no hormones are administered, and the dominant follicle of that cycle grows with the woman’s itself hormonal secretion, as these are naturally secreted from the pituitary gland in the brain. As a result, we can only obtain one oocyte at egg collection. We must notice that in 30% approximately of natural cycles, at al women ages, no egg is found when we insert the collection needle inside the dominant follicle.
During the natural cycle the circulating estrogen in blood (estradiol) does not exceed “physiological” levels (100-350 units) and no chance of ovarian hyperstimulation exists. This is preferable in women with a history of gynecological malignancy (e.g. Breast, cervical, ovarian) where any supra-physiological increase in blood estrogens may be harmful. A possible disadvantage is that in 30% of cases no oocyte is obtained, or it fails to fertilize with the sperm, so there is no embryo to transfer in the uterus. This leads to repeated egg collections to have one or two embryos for transfer, which increases the cost and the emotional stress for the couple. If ovarian hyperstimulation is not contra-indicated, the harvest of more than one oocyte (preferred number: 5-14) after a stimulated cycle, leads to the culture of two or more embryos, where the embryologist (using the technically advanced method of embryoscope) can choose the best quality embryos (either day 3 or day 5-blastocyst) to transfer in the uterine cavity. Thus, the chances of pregnancy are maximized in one, stimulated, cycle. As a disadvantage remains the possibility of hyperstimulation syndrome, especially in women with polycystic ovaries. Close monitoring of the follicular growth (by ultrasound and hormonal blood test) diminishes the risk of hyperstimulation.
IUI is a minimally invasive procedure where prepared sperm is placed directly into the uterus to increase the chances of natural fertilization, making it ideal for mild infertility or unexplained cases. IVF is a more advanced technique where eggs are retrieved and fertilized in a lab before embryo transfer, recommended for complex infertility or after IUI attempts. Both treatments are designed to maximize your chances of conception, tailored to your individual needs.
IUI success rates vary based on age, fertility factors, and underlying conditions. While some couples conceive in the first cycle, others may require multiple cycles. Our specialists closely monitor each cycle and adjust protocols to maximize your chances of success.
Most patients experience only mild discomfort, similar to a Pap smear. The procedure takes a few minutes and doesn’t require anaesthesia or recovery time — you can return to normal activities immediately after.
IUI is a very low-risk procedure. Occasionally, mild cramping, light spotting, or bloating may occur
Success rates by age:
• For couples ≤ 25 years old ~ 18-25% per cycle
Cumulative live-birth after 3–4 cycles: ≈50–60%
• For a 30-year-old woman ~ 12-20% per cycle
Cumulative live-birth after 3–4 cycles: ≈35–45%
• For a > 35-year-old woman ~ 8-10% per cycle
Cumulative live-birth after 3–4 cycles: ≈20–30%
