Question : what is the success rate of a IUi?

Answered by Dr. Nandita Thakkar (9 hours later)

Hello,

Thanks for the query.

The success rate of Intrauterine insemination (IUI) varies according to age and number of cycles received earlier.

To specify,
- The IUI success rate is between 9 - 15% per cycle. For older women between 35 to 38yrs, it’s around 5 - 9% per cycle and for women above 40yrs, the success rate is less < 5% per cycle.
- When one undergoes repeated trials of IUI, the success rate of a cycle is more than the preceding cycles. The cumulative pregnancy rate after 3 cycles is 60%.

Hope this is clear. Let me know if you have any other queries.

Regards
Dr. Nandita Thakkar
