There is nothing more discouraging than to have tried repeatedly for months and months to conceive a child with no success. If this is you, you are not alone; infertility affects 15 percent of the population, which is about one out of every seven couples. If you are having a difficult time you should consult a fertility specialist to learn more about what may be causing your infertility problems and to learn more about the IUI procedure or Intrauterine Insemination.

Intrauterine insemination is a procedure in which the sperm are washed, and then placed inside the uterus using a slender plastic catheter inserted through the cervix; this is all done in your doctor's office.

Causes of infertility

Infertility can be caused by a multitude of complications, including:

• Blocked or scarred fallopian tubes

• Ovulatory problems

• Endometriosis

• Male infertility

• Unexplained infertility

IUI procedures have assisted numerous couples in becoming proud and happy parents. Couples, who have successfully gone through the intrauterine insemination process, say that it is well worth it - nothing is more rewarding then to be able to experience a family of their own.

If you are interested in learning more about IUI procedures you should schedule an appointment with a fertility doctor in your area today.
