IUI (intrauterine insemination) — Seattle, WA

Intrauterine insemination places prepared sperm directly in the uterus around ovulation, often with ovulation-stimulating medication. It is far less invasive and less expensive than IVF, and is a common first step for unexplained infertility, mild male-factor, and ovulatory disorders.

An honest note about data: the federal reporting law covers ART — procedures that handle eggs or embryos — so IUI outcomes are NOT in the CDC registry, and no clinic-level IUI success data exists anywhere. Treat any advertised IUI 'success rate' without a denominator and age breakdown with skepticism.

What to ask at a consult

• How many IUI cycles do you recommend before moving to IVF for my diagnosis and age?
• Is the cycle monitored (ultrasound and bloodwork) or unmonitored, and what does each cost?
• Medicated or natural cycle — and why, for my case?

Costs are a first-class question for this procedure — see what IVF costs and how to pay less and whether insurance must cover treatment in Washington.
