Insemination is the simplest, but&nbsp;still efficient method of assisted reproductive techniques (ART).<\/p>\n<p>Insemination may be recommended for&nbsp;treatment of <a href=\"\/en\/single_woman_egg_donation_etc\/\">single women<\/a>, <a href=\"\/en\/lesbian_woman_egg_donation_etc\/\">lesbian couples<\/a> or&nbsp;for&nbsp;infertility due to: moderate reduction of the sperm quality, cervical factor infertility, unovulation, immune infertility, and&nbsp;&quot;unexplained&quot; (idiopathic) infertility. The prerequisite for&nbsp;insemination is a preserved functioning of uterine tubes.<\/p>\n<p>The generalized pregnancy rates for&nbsp;one insemination treatment cycle average about 15-20%. Whether&nbsp;an insemination will be successful considerably depends on&nbsp;a number of prognostic factors: infertility duration, woman&rsquo;s age, spermogram readings, and&nbsp;the number of preceding insemination attempts.<\/p>\n<p>It is not recommended to undergo more than&nbsp;3-4 insemination attempts. For, 87% of patients, who&nbsp;conceive from insemination procedure, become pregnant within 3-4 insemination cycles. The pregnancy rates for&nbsp;those who&nbsp;still can&rsquo;t conceive and&nbsp;who&nbsp;continues insemination attempts do not exceed 6% per one attempt. While&nbsp;cumulative results from first three cycles total to 39.2%, efficacy of 6 cycles will not exceed 48.5%. For&nbsp;this reason, after&nbsp;3-4 unsuccessful insemination attempts an IVF treatment should follow.<\/p>\n<p class=\"phonecons\">If&nbsp;you are unsure whether&nbsp;IUI (Artificial Insemination) is the right treatment for&nbsp;you please request a FREE non-obligatory consultation with our Doctor who&nbsp;will be able to discuss your options with you based upon your own medical needs and&nbsp;wishes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"phonecons\"><a class=\"button contactus ui large\" href=\"\/en\/contacts\/how-to-start\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Get free consultation!<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p>Prior to insemination itself, the stimulating treatment of the ovary is usually performed. To provide stimulation, the FSH-containing agents and&nbsp;antiestrogens are used. As&nbsp;revealed by the research, FSH-based stimulation proves to be more efficacious. Good results also can be achieved by combining FSH and&nbsp;antiestrogens.<\/p>\n<p>There is an option to perform insemination in&nbsp;a natural cycle (without stimulation), but, such a procedure is 2-3 times less efficient than&nbsp;FSH stimulation preceded insemination.<\/p>\n<p>There is abundant research evidence showing that, while&nbsp;applying the same stimulation routine, insemination is 2 times more efficient than&nbsp;the monitoring procedure aimed at&nbsp;identifying the optimal day for&nbsp;conception.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Artifitial insemination\" border=\"0\" height=\"198\" src=\"\/p\/en\/479-1.gif\" width=\"290\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"fig\">Fig. 1.
