IUTPI
A BETTER METHOD OF INTRAUTERINE INSEMINATION?
IUI is dependent on many factors, the least of which is getting sperm to the tube. The success of IUI is mainly dependent on timing, the ovulation of more than one eggs so that there is an increased chance of an egg getting into the tube (getting into the tube is not automatic), fertilization of the egg by the sperm, quality of the egg, development of the egg into a good embryo, travel of the embryo into the uterus, hatching and extrusion of the embryo from its shell, attachment of the embryo to the uterine lining and growth of the lining around the embryo (implantation).
How is the IUTPI helping those steps?
None that I can see. A standard IUI, if done properly, should give you equal chance of pregnancy because sperm delivery is the same. In my clinic, I have had a consistently 60-100% pregnancy rate per patient using proper technique but that is also dependent on factors such as the woman's age and the cause for her fertility problems.
