Dr Jasdev Singh
Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)
Prepared sperm is placed directly into the womb close to ovulation, giving sperm a shorter path to the egg. It is quick and needs no anaesthetic.
Fertility Treatments
Giving sperm a head start at the right moment
In IUI, a semen sample is washed and concentrated in the lab. The most active sperm are then placed in the womb through a thin, soft tube. It is timed with ovulation, either in a natural cycle or with mild fertility medicine.
The procedure takes only a few minutes. Most women say it feels similar to a smear test.
Dr Jasdev checks that IUI suits your situation first, so time is not spent on a treatment unlikely to help.
A plan that starts with your results
Your age, history, test results and goals are reviewed before any treatment is suggested.
Clear reasons for each step
You will know why a test or medicine is recommended, what it can do and where its limits are.
Care that stays connected
Reviews are planned around how you respond, your cycle timing and your next decision.
What IUI offers you
- A less invasive option before considering IVF
- Careful timing with scans and trigger injections
- Clear advice on how many cycles to try
How your care is planned
Every stage answers three questions: what is happening, why it matters, and what comes next. The plan is reviewed at each stage and adjusted when needed.
Confirm open tubes and suitable sperm results
Monitor your cycle with scans, with or without medicine
Carry out the insemination at the right time
How IUI works
Scans track your follicle as it grows. When it is ready, a trigger injection may be given to time ovulation. On the day, your partner provides a sample, which is prepared in the lab over an hour or two. The sperm is then placed in the womb, and you can go home shortly after.
Who may benefit
IUI can help with mild sperm problems, unexplained infertility, difficulty with intercourse or irregular ovulation. At least one fallopian tube needs to be open. It is less suitable for severe sperm problems or blocked tubes.
What to expect
You will usually have two or three scans before the procedure. The insemination itself takes a few minutes, and you can return to normal activities the same day. A pregnancy test is done about two weeks later.

What couples often ask about IUI
Most couples arrive with several questions. These common ones can help you plan what to ask.
Is IUI worth trying in our case?
Should we use medicine or a natural cycle?
How many IUI cycles should we have?
When should we consider IVF instead?
Your questions about IUI
What is IUI?
IUI stands for intrauterine insemination. Washed sperm is placed directly into the womb near ovulation, so more sperm reach the egg.
Who is IUI suitable for?
Couples with mild sperm issues, unexplained infertility or ovulation problems, where at least one tube is open. Your age and test results help decide whether it is a sensible choice.
What tests are needed before IUI?
A semen analysis, a check that the tubes are open, hormone tests and a pelvic scan. Infection screening is usually done for both partners.
Is IUI painful or risky?
Most women feel mild cramping at most. If fertility medicine is used, there is a small chance of twins, which scans help to manage. Infection is rare.
Why see Dr Jasdev for IUI?
He is clear about when IUI is worth trying and when another option may suit you better, so you can decide with confidence.
How do I book?
Call or WhatsApp the clinic at the start of your period. Scans usually begin in the second week of your cycle.
