                           Intrauterine Insemination In Human

You may wander if it is good to use Insemination process in human or not, read the selection to answer your question.

 This is the process of putting sperm in to the woman's reproductive tract, by using a thin, flexible tube. For example, when woman is ovulating the sperm are placing in to a woman's uterus so as fertilization  took place. It was invented by Mr John Hunter since 1776 to help those couple  who have.

• Donor Sperm
•  Semen Allergy
• unexplained Infertility

 The problem / risk of this process there is possibility of getting       

•  Multiple pregnancy                                                                                         
•  Infection                                                                                                               
•  Spotting.

 This process is simple and may be performed even if the woman is not receiving medication to improve her egg production. Many scientists will advice  women to take medications to stimulate the ovaries to increase egg production in order to improve the chance of achieving pregnancy.
An ultrasound will be used to monitor the size of the follicles (follicles develop into eggs). The hormone, human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG), is administered to stimulate the release of eggs from the follicles.

The sperm sample will be washed by the lab to separate the sperm from the seminal fluid. A catheter is used to inject the processed sperm directly into the uterus. This process maximizes the number of sperm cells that are placed in the uterus, thus increasing the possibility of conception. The IUI procedure takes little time and involves minimal discomfort. The last thing is  to watch for signs and symptoms of pregnancy.

This process have succeed for about 10 to 20% in our day.

10% possibilety per month of getting pregnant and having a baby.
15% possibilety per month of getting pregnant and having a baby with injectable FSH medication (e.g. Follistim, Gonal-F, Bravelle or Menopur) and IUI for up to 3 cycles
5% chance of conceiving and having a baby with 1 IVF(Invintro fertilization) cycle (at our center - success rates vary between clinics)

Chances for success in women over 35 drop off, and for women over 40 they are much lower. For this reason, the process should be more aggressive in older women.


The problem of this process  although it is not painfull when it is eximined, you may experience mild cramps similar to period pains.

The risks can be associated with the fertility drugs that are often used with this treatment can include reactions to the drugs and cose cartein  pregnancy problems.With stimulated the treatment , you may also run the risk of multiple pregnancy.

 Some issues  that are consider in this process are 

•  The use of donor sperm and eggs
•  The use and payment of surrogates
•  The in vitro development period allowed for embryos
•  The selection process for embryos, including sex selection and genetic screening:

To conclude,Scientists will improve this technology by convinsing those couples who has less ability on producing a baby, and make a treat ment  for them. Also to educate those who dosent know about this process and make understend on it.
