Insemination
If you have not achieved pregnancy after 6 months of trying, we recommend that you book an appointment for an initial visit with a fertility doctor. At Ovumia, you will meet experienced staff and gain acces ti the latest methods for treating infertility.
Intrauterine insemination (IUI)
Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a well-established fertility treatment. During insemination, carefully selected sperm is inserted directly into the uterine cavity during ovulation, which can increase the chances of pregnancy. The insemination is performed during ovulation, which can either occur in a natural menstrual cycle or a cycle supported by hormone treatment. In a natural cycle, the timing of insemination is determined using ovulation tests. The insemination is then performed within a window of 12 to 42 hours after the ovulation test has shown a positive result.
We understand that the path to parenthood can be a challenging journey. Therefore, it is common for insemination treatment to be repeated several times to optimize results. If insemination does not result in pregnancy, IVF may be offered as a possible next step.
Insemination with partner’s sperm
Before insemination with the partner’s sperm (AIH), the conditions are similar to other types of assisted reproduction. You, as a couple, must be in a stable relationship and either be married or living together.
Insemination with the partner’s sperm is now almost exclusively recommended if the couple has difficulty with penetrative intercourse. In this case, sperm samples are prepared and then introduced into the uterus through a thin plastic catheter during ovulation.
Insemination with donor sperm
Inseminations with donor sperm are also part of our range of fertility treatments at Ovumia. With a wide selection of donated gametes, we can offer our patients the opportunity for fertility treatments without waiting times or queues.
In insemination with donor sperm, the thawed sperm is carefully inserted into the uterus during ovulation. This can occur in either a natural menstrual cycle or a cycle supported by hormone treatment.
