The procedure of artificial insemination

Preparatory treatment and ovarian stimulation

As part of the preparatory treatment, the woman receives, during the first half of the cycle, an ovulation inducing treatment.

The process will be monitored by performing an ultrasound and hormonal assays.

In the middle of the cycle, HCG injections will be performed to trigger ovulation.

The triggering of ovulation requires the cessation of other treatments.

Sperm selection and sample preparation

The man takes a sperm sample in the laboratory the morning of the artificial insemination.

The sample obtained is processed in the laboratory to separate the motile spermatozoa from the other components; they will then be washed with an appropriate culture medium.

Insemination

Artificial insemination in Turkey is scheduled approximately 36 hours after ovulation is triggered, the patient is placed in a lithotomy position, and a small catheter containing the sperm sample is introduced into the cervix, to the middle of the uterus. The sperm are then deposited in the uterine cavity.

This procedure is not painful and resembles a gynecological examination, it does not require anesthesia or hospitalization.

Fertilization will take place naturally in the hours that follow.

What is the aftermath of artificial insemination?

• The patient can resume normal activity as soon as the procedure is completed.
• There are no special precautions need to be taken.
• A pregnancy test will be performed around 18 days after the insemination.

Artificial insemination result

From the first attempt, the success rate of the IAC is between 10% and 15%. It is nevertheless 5% for women aged over 42.

In case of failure, it is possible to start another attempt. That said, it is necessary to perform cycles of rest.

Generally, 4 cycles of IAC are performed in total, to achieve pregnancy.

If pregnancy is not achieved, it may also be necessary to change the ART technique and, for example, to have recourse to IVF.

What is the difference between artificial insemination and IVF?

Artificial insemination imitates natural procreation, in the womb, by allowing sperm to be in the right place at the time of ovulation.

In vitro fertilization, on the other hand, makes it possible to fertilize an egg with a sperm, outside the uterus, in the laboratory. It is considered in the event of an abnormality of the tubes or in the event of moderate infertility on the side of the man, unexplained infertility or after the failure of several attempts at artificial insemination.
