A Gentle, Affordable First-Line Assisted Conception Treatment in Lahore

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is one of the most widely utilized and cost-effective fertility treatments for couples experiencing unexplained infertility, mild male subfertility, or cervical mucus hostility. The procedure involves placing a concentrated sample of highly motile, washed sperm directly inside the woman's uterus around the time of ovulation.

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Noreen Huma provides comprehensive fertility evaluation and structured ovulation induction protocols for couples considering IUI. Dr. Noreen oversees clinical assessment personally—from individualized ovarian stimulation regimens to supportive cycle checks and trigger timing.

Semen processing and sperm washing are performed in a hospital laboratory rather than inside the private consultation clinic. The insemination procedure is carried out in a hospital clinical setting under sterile conditions without requiring an overnight stay.

Clinical Management & Step-by-Step Protocol

Day 2/3 Baseline Scan & Medication Start

Pelvic ultrasound to rule out ovarian cysts, starting oral Letrozole or low-dose Gonadotropins for 5 days.

Cycle & Follicular Monitoring (Days 9 to 13)

Supportive ultrasound scans to monitor follicle growth rate (1.5-2mm daily) and triple-line endometrial stripe, with referral for specialized tracking if required.

hCG Trigger Injection

Administering 5000-10,000 IU hCG when the leading follicle reaches 18-20mm to trigger ovulation precisely 36 hours later.

Semen Washing & Clinical Insemination

Partner provides a fresh semen sample for processing in a hospital laboratory (sperm washing is not performed in the private clinic); the insemination procedure is performed in a hospital clinical setting.

Luteal Support & Pregnancy Confirmation (Day 14)

Progesterone supplementation for 14 days, followed by a Serum Beta-hCG blood test to confirm clinical pregnancy.

When is IUI Recommended for a Couple?

✓ Unexplained infertility where basic tests (tubes, ovulation, sperm) are normal but pregnancy is delayed
✓ Mild to moderate male factor subfertility: Mildly reduced sperm count or sluggish motility
✓ Hostile or thick cervical mucus preventing natural sperm transit from the vagina to the uterus
✓ Ejaculatory dysfunction or physical difficulties with intercourse
✓ Anovulatory cycles / PCOS requiring ovulation induction with structured timed insemination
✓ Confirmed patent (open) fallopian tubes on HSG X-ray or laparoscopy

Frequently Asked Patient Questions

Where are semen washing and the IUI procedure performed?

Dr. Noreen Huma provides IUI-related fertility care including clinical evaluation and cycle monitoring. Semen processing and sperm washing are performed in a hospital laboratory, not in the private consultation clinic. The insemination procedure is also carried out in a hospital clinical setting under sterile conditions.

How long should I rest after the IUI procedure?

Resting comfortably for 15 to 20 minutes in the hospital clinical room after insemination is typically recommended. After that, you can return to your routine daily activities without worry. Strict bed rest is not medically necessary.

What is the cost of IUI treatment in Johar Town, Lahore?

IUI is an affordable assisted conception option compared to IVF. The overall cost includes cycle monitoring ultrasound checks, oral ovulation medication, hospital laboratory sperm processing, and the hospital-based clinical insemination procedure.

Can IUI result in twins or triplets?

Yes, because ovulation medications encourage multiple eggs to mature, the chance of twins is approximately 8% to 12%. Dr. Noreen Huma carefully monitors follicle growth to ensure safe, controlled monofollicular or bifollicular cycles.
