  Insemination:

  The insemination procedure is simple and takes just a few minutes. You’ll lie down on the examination table. Your fertility specialist injects the washed sperm sample into the top part of cavity of uterus. You may be asked to rest for 10 to 15 minutes after insemination.You may be given progesterone and folic acid tablets after IUI.

  Most women will return to normal activities immediately. You should avoid anything that makes you feel uncomfortable after IUI, but there usually aren’t any restrictions.

• 02Age 31 to 35: 13.3%
• 03Age 36 to 38: 13.4%
• 04Age 39 to 40: 10.6%
• 05Over 40: 5.4%

Having intercourse both before and after IUI is acceptable. If you have sex the day of or the day following IUI, your chances of getting pregnant go up.
