Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)

The process
What to expect
Each stage is planned around your diagnosis, goals, and timeline. You will know why each step matters before moving forward.
- 01
Consultation and evaluation
History, blood work, and ultrasound confirm that IUI is the right first treatment and shape your protocol.
- 02
Ovulation monitoring or stimulation
Cycles may be natural or supported with medication, tracked with ultrasound and hormone levels for precise timing.
- 03
Sperm collection and washing
On the day of insemination the sample is washed and concentrated to isolate the healthiest, most motile sperm.
- 04
The insemination
A thin catheter places the prepared sperm into the uterus. It takes minutes, feels similar to a Pap smear, and needs no recovery time.
- 05
Two-week wait and testing
A pregnancy test follows roughly two weeks later. If needed, we review and adjust before the next cycle.

In our patients’ words
“Since the beginning, he has been honest and caring about my husband's and my infertility journey. We went through IVF and obtained three embryos. I have had healthy births from two of them and now we are on round three, and I am pregnant.”
“After another practice in the city where I was more of a number than a patient, Dr. Chauhan's office made me feel heard. He explains everything in detail and I felt comfortable from the start. He really is the best.”
“He was one of the only doctors that didn't shame me for my weight, but instead gave me encouragement. Thanks to the doctor and his wonderful nurses, my husband and I conceived after one IUI cycle.”
