How many IUIs to try before moving on to IVF?

How many IUIs to try before moving on to IVF?

IVF treatment in Hyderabad is worth considering as it is effective. IVF clinic in Hyderabad can be visited for clarifications of doubts and proper treatment.

Physicians often do raise the question as to how many IUIs a person needs to try before moving on to more aggressive treatment. They are aware that the patients are indeed trying to balance success rates with the cost of treatment and also the time required for each cycle. Therefore having some idea of when it is appropriate to move on from IUIs to rather more aggressive treatment may indeed help a person feel more in control. IVF treatment in Hyderabad is excellent.

It is emotionally taxing, and fertility treatment can be expensive too as well as time-consuming. Women want to be pregnant soon, but they are indeed faced with decisions regarding fertility treatment.

IVF clinic in Hyderabad has all the required information about the IVF process.

An IUI is commonly the first fertility treatment patients will try

An IUI, or even intrauterine insemination, is the initial treatment protocol for couples who are having problems getting pregnant. During an IUI, prepared sperm is rather placed directly into the woman’s uterus, thus bypassing a big hurdle for the sperm – the cervix. This procedure is often performed when there happen to be male infertility problems with the sperm, such as low count or low motility, an incompatibility between the sperm as well as the cervical mucus, as well as for unexplained infertility.

Each cycle of an IUI does have about a 10-20% success rate, on average, for women who are under 35.

Once IUI gets coupled with an ovulation induction treatment cycle, pregnancy rates can indeed become twice as high.

What is the magic number?

But if no pregnancy does occur after several rounds of IUI, when should a person need to call it quits and move on to something else?

This happens to be a query several couples, as well as single women, face when trying to become pregnant using this fertility treatment. The thing is that you will probably need to undergo several attempts of any treatment before a person successfully gets pregnant. Although some women will be lucky and conceive on their first attempt, for others, pregnancy will indeed only occur after trying a number of times.

It is a good idea for fertility specialists who want to try several IUIs prior to suggesting the move on to more aggressive treatment, such as in vitro fertilization. For women under 35, the doctors recommend doing 3 rounds of IUI prior to considering IVF, but this recommendation can rather go up to 6 in carefully selected patients. In the case of being over 35, this recommendation is likely to be lower given that age has a profound impact on fertility. Checking the ovarian reserve levels, which decreases with age, is always a good idea prior to embarking on any fertility treatments.

Talk to the doctor and partner about how many IUIs are required to attempt upfront

Chatting with the doctor about how many IUIs are appropriate to be given for a person’s unique infertility situation is a good idea. Depending on one’s infertility diagnosis as well as other individual factors, the doctor may feel that moving on sooner rather than later is indeed more appropriate or that IUI may not even be the best treatment option.

Additionally, it is best to be upfront and discuss with the practitioner as well as a partner about the number of attempts that a person willing to try. Before starting any treatment, it is best to have these frank conversations about what one’s limits are. Some people feel that there is enough, for others, this number might be as high as 6 or even more, while still others may feel they want to go with a treatment option, such as IVF, that has been of course higher success rates per try. A lot of this depends on one’s own unique diagnosis, the financial situation, and how crucial time is to one’s treatment process.
