IVF vs. IUI | Boston IVF

Boston IVF fertility specialist Adrienne Neithardt, MD explains the basics of in vitro fertilization (IVF), intrauterine insemination (IUI), and which fertility treatment is optimal for individuals and couples who wish to build a family. IUI is often one of the first fertility treatments for those who wish to become pregnant. IUI relies on the natural ability of sperm to fertilize an egg in the fallopian tube and involves a minimal office procedure wherein specially prepared sperm enters an individual's uterus via a small catheter. IVF is the most effective fertility treatment available today and is the recommended option for many patients. This procedure involves several steps including ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval, egg fertilization in an embryology lab, and an embryo transfer.
