Did you know that many
fertility patients don't need IVF? With all of the information about
in vitro fertilization that goes around the Internet, it might seem
otherwise. But the truth is that many people need a far simpler boost
in fertility than IVF affords.
Intrauterine insemination,
sometimes simply called “artificial insemination”, is very often
a first step for fertility patients who have no structural
infertility conditions, like blocked fallopian tubes. The
insemination itself is conducted in less than a day within the
clinic, and patients are able to return immediately to work and other
daily activities. Prior to the actual insemination procedure, the
woman may or may not use fertility medications – oral or
injectable, depending on her body's needs – to optimize the number
of eggs she ovulates during that treatment cycle. Then when tests
indicate that she is near ovulation, semen (from either a partner or
a donor) is introduced to the uterus via a tiny catheter threaded
through the cervix.
Placement of the sperm
cells directly into the uterus via IUI allows us to bypass what's
sometimes called “hostile” cervical mucus, a condition in which
the woman's naturally-occurring mucus has properties that prevent
sperm from reaching their destination. IUI also works well for women
who have timing issues that prevent intercourse from being the
optimal route; for example, some active military couples have frozen
semen prior to deployment, for use with IUI at a future date. IUI
enables even fertile women without male partners to use donor sperm
in a clinically safe manner. Women with PCOS (polycystic ovarian
syndrome) also are often quite successful in getting pregnant with
medicated IUI.
There are cases in which
trying IUI might be more wasteful of the patient's time, money, and
effort, including patients with:
- Tubal factor infertility
- Ovarian failure, or elevated Day 3 FSH levels
- Severe male-factor infertility
- Woman's age over mid- to late-30's
It is recommended that
patients in such cases consider using IVF, in vitro fertilization.

For couples who fail to conceive after one year (and for women over the age of 35 after 6 months) fertility testing in these areas is recommended.
Infertility Clinic
I was married at 32 and immediately tried to get pregnant. When I was unable to conceive I had blood tests for fertility and was told that I had an FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) of 54 and would not be able to have children. Even though the doctors knew that I had been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis since age 25, no one bothered to check my thyroid levels. my TSH was measured at .001. My Synthroid dosage was lowered. a friend advise me to contact a spiritualist who help with fertility with his medicine, i collected his contact and explain my situation to him he prepared for me a herbal medicine which i took as describe by him. became pregnant very quickly, I had a successful pregnancy. I have my baby august 2017. to get pregnant at age 35 with my 2nd child in september 2019, thank you sir , this is his email contact if you require his help babaka.wolf@gmail.com or Facebook at priest.babaka
