Frequently Asked Questions
IVF is an abbreviation for in vitro fertilisation, whereas IUI is an abbreviation for intrauterine insemination. They are both assisted reproductive technologies that assist infertile couples in conceiving a child.
IVF and IUI success rates vary based on factors such as the woman's age, the cause of infertility, and the quality of the sperm and eggs. IVF has a success rate of over 40% on average, while IUI has a success rate of roughly 20%.
IVF is a more involved method that involves removing eggs from a woman, fertilising them in a laboratory, and then implanting the resulting embryos into the woman's uterus. In contrast, IUI is a less complicated technique that involves injecting sperm into the woman's uterus.
The cost of IVF and IUI varies substantially based on factors such as location, insurance coverage, and treatment type. IVF can cost anywhere between Approx Costing> and Approx Costing> on average, and IUI can cost anywhere between Approx Costing> and Approx Costing>.
The time of an IVF cycle varies widely based on the woman's menstrual cycle, the number of embryos transferred, and the medicines used. An IVF cycle typically takes 4-6 weeks to complete. IUI cycles are usually completed in a week.
IVF and IUI side effects vary by individual, but frequent side effects include bloating, cramps, mood fluctuations, and exhaustion. Women may develop more serious side effects, such as ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome (OHSS) or multiple pregnancies, in some situations.
IVF and IUI success rates decline as women age, especially after the age of 40. When compared to younger women, women over 40 have a reduced success rate with both IVF and IUI.
IVF and IUI are generally safe procedures, and we have expert doctors on hand to assist and guide you during the process.
There has been little research into the long-term health impacts of IVF and IUI, although there is no evidence that these treatments have any harmful long-term effects on women's health.
The success rate of IVF and IUI for male infertility couples is determined by the cause of infertility and the quality of the sperm. IUI has a success rate of roughly 20% and IVF has a success rate of around 40%. These rates, however, can vary substantially depending on the individual scenario.
