Intra-Uterine Insemination is a method of insemination which places washed sperm directly into the uterus by passing a catheter through the cervical canal.
Washing sperm cells is necessary to remove the seminal fluid which contains compounds that cause painful uterine cramping. Proper timing of insemination is important with IUI.
Pregnancy rates are generally higher with IUI than ICI.
