    What is IUI?

    IUI (Intrauterine Insemination) is a less invasive fertility treatment in Atlanta where specially prepared sperm is placed directly into the uterus during ovulation. IUI is often considered the first step in fertility treatment before IVF.
    IUI may be recommended for:
  1. Unexplained infertility
  2. Mild male factor infertility
  3. Ovulation timing issues
  4. Cervical mucus challenges
  5. Single women or LGBTQ+ family building
    6. Advanced Reproductive Technology

    What is IVF?

    IVF (In-Vitro Fertilization) is a more advanced form of assisted reproductive technology (ART) where eggs are fertilized outside the body in a laboratory and then transferred into the uterus. IVF offers higher control over fertilization and embryo selection, often resulting in higher success rates per cycle.
    IVF may be recommended for:
  6. Blocked fallopian tubes
  7. Severe male factor infertility
  8. Endometriosis
  9. Advanced maternal age
  10. Failed IUI cycles
    11. Success Rates

    IUI vs IVF Success Rates

    FAQ — IUI vs IVF

    What is the difference between IUI and IVF?

    IUI places washed sperm into the uterus, while IVF involves fertilizing eggs in a lab and transferring embryos.

    Neither is universally better. IUI is used for mild infertility, while IVF is recommended for more complex cases.

    Yes. IVF generally has higher success rates per cycle because fertilization occurs in a controlled laboratory.

    IVF is often recommended after failed IUI cycles or in cases of blocked tubes, severe male infertility, or advanced reproductive age.

    IUI typically takes 2–4 weeks per cycle. IVF usually takes 4–6 weeks depending on treatment protocols.

    It can slightly increase the chance of multiples if fertility medications are used.
