2nd IuI Success Rate

What are the chances of getting pregnant with IUI?

IUI treatment success rate depends on many factors, including the cause of infertility and the quality of sperm and eggs, and age. Also, keep in mind that the success rate of a cycle of IUI is often low, which makes it necessary for most couples to repeat the treatment.

A study of about 1000 IUC cycles has shown that the success rates of intrauterine insemination for couples with different infertility problems who had more than one cycle of IUI were as follows:

. 55.6 percent for cervical problems

. 47.4 percent for ovulation problems (anovulation)

. 41.7 percent for male factor infertility

. 37.6 percent for low sperm count (oligospermia) (less than 20 million sperm per ml)

. 35.1 percent for unexplained infertility

. 13.4 percent for poor sperm motility (asthenospermia)

. 10.7 percent for endometriosis

Your chances of success with IUI

This depends on lots of different things, including:

. The cause of infertility

. The woman’s age

. The man’s sperm count and sperm quality (using fresh sperm leads to higher conception rates than using frozen sperm)

. Whether or not fertility medicines are used to stimulate ovulation (this can increase your chances of success)

There are many different factors involved, so it’s best to talk to your fertility team about your individual chances of success.

How successful is one cycle of IUI?

As with any fertility treatment, the younger the woman is the higher her chances of getting pregnant. You’re also more likely to get pregnant if you have fertility drugs to stimulate your natural cycle.

For women aged under 35, about 18% of IUI cycles result in a healthy baby being born (a cycle is one full round of IUI treatment). Women aged 35 to 37 have a 14% success rate and the birth rate for women aged 38-39 is 12%. For women over 40, your chances are lower (5% for women aged 40 to 42 and 1% for women aged over 42). These are 2017 statistics taken from our latest Fertility trends report.

Many women will have several cycles of IUI before they have a successful pregnancy so it’s worth considering that when you’re thinking about costs of treatment.
