Fertility Treatments
Intrauterine insemination (IUI) with donor sperm is a safe, minimally invasive fertility treatment that supports single women, lesbian couples, trans and non-binary patients and others in starting their family.
IUI is a fertility treatment in which specially prepared sperm is placed directly into a woman’s uterus around the time of ovulation. The motile/progressive sperm are separated from slower or non-moving sperm, improving the chances of reaching the fallopian tubes and fertilising the egg naturally.
Because IUI is minimally invasive and can be tailored to different fertility needs, it is a suitable option for a range of patients.
For many patients, using donor sperm is a safe and effective way to begin their family-building journey. At London Women’s Clinic, we work closely with our trusted partner, London Sperm Bank, to make the process straightforward and fully supported.
Sperm is sourced via our partner, London Sperm Banks online catalogue, with no waiting lists.
All donors undergo thorough health checks, including testing for infectious diseases (including HIV) and genetic conditions. Samples are frozen and quarantined for six months, with repeat testing before being cleared for use.
Counselling is provided to every patient to ensure full awareness of UK legislation. It’s important to know that children conceived with donor sperm in the UK have the right to learn the donor’s identity once they turn 18.
Most (but not all) IUI treatments begin with a short course of hormone therapy to stimulate the development of multiple eggs, though natural cycle IUI is also an option.
Once ovulation is confirmed, the highest-quality sperm is carefully introduced into the uterus, allowing your body’s natural fertilisation process to take over.
Review medical history, fertility goals, and suitability for donor IUI
Decide on natural or stimulated IUI.
Track ovulation with ultrasounds and hormone tests.
Carefully timed placement of prepared sperm into the uterus.
Pregnancy testing and ongoing support.
For many patients, IUI is a simple first step on the journey to parenthood. It’s often recommended for those without major fertility challenges or those using donor sperm. IVF may be suggested if egg or sperm quality is lower or after unsuccessful IUI cycles. Your fertility specialist will guide you toward the approach that fits your medical needs and family-building goals.
IUI is often considered one of the most accessible and straightforward fertility treatments. Key benefits include:
IUI with Donor Sperm Success in Numbers
Outcomes vary depending on patient factors and sperm quality. While each individual cycle has a lower chance of success than IVF, many patients go on to have a baby after multiple cycles.
