Myth: IUI and IVF are the same procedures, so they both offer the same benefits.
Reality: IUI and IVF are very different treatments. IUI involves placing sperm directly into the uterus around the time of ovulation, while IVF involves fertilizing eggs outside the body and transferring the embryo back into the uterus. IUI is less invasive and is typically used for conditions like mild male infertility or unexplained infertility, while IVF is often used for more severe fertility issues.
Myth: IUI will work after just a few cycles, so it's a guaranteed way to get pregnant.
Reality: Success rates for IUI are not guaranteed, and the chances of pregnancy depend on various factors such as the woman’s age, the cause of infertility, sperm quality, and how many cycles of IUI are tried. On average, IUI success rates range from 10-20% per cycle, and it can take multiple attempts to achieve pregnancy.
Myth: IUI is an effective solution for all types of infertility.
Reality: IUI is most successful for couples with mild male infertility, unexplained infertility, or issues related to cervical mucus. It is not effective for women with blocked fallopian tubes, severe endometriosis, or significant male infertility issues (like very low sperm count or poor sperm motility), in which cases IVF may be a better option.
Myth: IUI is a quick fix that works right away..
Reality: IUI is not a "one-and-done" solution. It often requires several attempts (sometimes 3-6 cycles or more) before it results in pregnancy. Many factors, such as the timing of ovulation, sperm quality, and the woman's overall fertility, can affect the outcome of each cycle.
