What is IUI?

ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) is a specialised form of IVF that maximises the chance of fertilisation.

When should I consider moving from IUI to IVF?

If IUI has not been successful after multiple cycles or if there are underlying fertility issues that reduce the chances of success (such as severe male factor infertility or blocked fallopian tubes), your fertility specialist may recommend transitioning to IVF for a higher chance of pregnancy.
