2. Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) Procedure

With this method, the wife needs to go to a medical facility to monitor the condition of the follicles and the doctor to advise the appropriate ovarian stimulation method (injection or oral stimulation); Injections or pills to stimulate ovulation: After checking that the ovum is mature, the wife is given injections or pills to stimulate ovulation.

3. Success rate of sperm injection method
The success rate of the insemination technique depends on many factors, the most important being the quality of the sperm and ovum. According to research, if the quality of sperm and ovum is at acceptable levels, the success rate of this method is about 6%. To increase the success rate, couples should use follicle stimulating pills to release more eggs, increasing the chances of having a baby by up to 26%.
Besides, sperm injection failure or success depends on the age of the wife. The older the wife, the lower the success rate. In addition, location, health status, causes of infertility, sperm quality, ovarian follicles, ... also affect the success rate of this method.
Where all factors are in ideal conditions, couples can successfully conceive from the first time using the technique. If the first time is not successful, couples can also continue to try the 2nd and 3rd time. In case the 3rd time still fails (IUI failed many times), then another assisted reproductive method should be applied. , like artificial insemination .

4. How long after the failed sperm pump can be done again?
Usually, the time to determine whether a couple is pregnant or not is 2 weeks after sperm injection. Through the use of pregnancy test strips or blood tests, the pregnancy outcome will be determined. If the pregnancy test shows 2 lines, the wife is pregnant, if there is 1 line, it means not pregnant.
If sperm injection fails, it can be repeated. The time between 2 ovulations is 1-3 months (for the ovaries to be able to recover after taking the drug). The pumping time of each person will be determined by the doctor. Depending on the specific case, the time of the next IUI will be 1-2 cycles of ovulation since the previous failed pump. If pumping more than 3 times and still fail, the couple will be assigned to perform IVF. The success rate of in vitro fertilization is about 50%.
There are many factors that affect the success rate of assisted reproductive technology. If unsuccessful, couples need to follow the doctor's instructions on when to repeat and other notes to improve the chances of pregnancy.
