How does artificial insemination work?
In the lab, we select the sperm with the best mobility. During your fertile days, we introduce them into the uterus to facilitate their meeting with the egg. If fertilization occurs, the pregnancy continues to develop inside you.
In clinical terms, it is called intrauterine inseminationSemen from your partner or a donor can be used. The team will explain the options and aspects to review in your case.
It is a procedure that is usually performed without surgery or sedation. You can ask how to prepare, what discomfort you might experience, and how to continue your activities afterward.
How the process works
These four stages help you understand the process and prepare your questions.

First call
A 45-minute video call to listen to you, discuss your questions, and learn how to start the medical evaluation. You can take your time to decide.
- 02
Previous studies
The fallopian tubes, semen, and other factors in your history that may influence treatment are reviewed. You can ask what each study is for and what information it provides.

Cycle preparation

The day of insemination
The laboratory prepares the semen sample, and the team introduces it into the uterus. Before the procedure, they will explain what you might feel and the instructions for afterward.
When it is recommended
Insemination can be considered in situations like those described here. The recommendation depends on your studies and the conversation with the medical team.
-
Open tubes
The evaluation of the fallopian tubes helps determine if this option may be suitable for you.

Mild male factor
Some changes in the semen may allow considering this option, based on the complete evaluation.

It may be an option to seek pregnancy with donor semen, according to the medical evaluation.

No identified cause
When initial studies do not identify a cause, the team may consider this option along with other factors in your history. You can ask about alternatives and their possibilities.
If an attempt does not result in pregnancy, you can review with the team what happened and discuss repeating, adjusting the treatment, or considering other options. The decision needs information about your case.
