IUI stands for Intrauterine Insemination. It is a simple procedure in which the semen sample is washed and prepared and gently deposited at the right time in the uterus. The wife is given some medicines and an ultrasound is done to monitor the growth of the follicle or follicles. At the expected time of rupture of the follicles, IUI is done. It is a procedure where treatment cost is around Rs 7000 and is more economical than IVF. Since it is similar to the natural conception cycle, the success rate of IUI is 15-20%. When done for the appropriate couple, it yields good results. We, at Little Angel IVF, have many couples who have conceived under Dr. Mona Dahiya’s treatment by IUI. I am sharing such low AMH IUI success stories with you.
Mrs. Yachna 32 years age married for 5 years visited us with a history of PCOS. She had been under treatment elsewhere where an IUI was planned. Her AMH was 8 ng/ml. However, when oral medicines were started, it was noted at the other center that there was no follicular development. The cycle was canceled. In the next cycle there, she was given injections. Even after receiving several injections, there was no follicular development. Dejected, she consulted Dr. Mona Dahiya at Little Angel IVF. Here, a detailed assessment of the previous unsuccessful attempts was made. First medicines were given to correct her hormonal imbalance of PCOS. Diet and exercise further helped. A special protocol called step-up protocol was formulated for her. With all this treatment, Yachna had 2 follicles and a very good uterine lining. IUI was done at the right time and she conceived successfully. A balanced and holistic approach with an individualized protocol helps in maximizing the IUI success rate for our couples.
