1) Success rates are similar to those of
natural conception. IUI’s may bypass issues that may be preventing
conception but the chances of achieving pregnancy are about that of any couple.
According to lifescript.com, “In general, the success rate of intrauterine
insemination ranges from five percent to seven percent, depending on factors
such as age, overall health, and possible fertility problems in either person.
Using fertility drugs before the procedure increases the success rate up to 20
percent, however.” (http://www.lifescript.com/Health/Conditions/Womens-health/Pregnancy/The_Pros_And_Cons_Of_Artificial_Insemination.aspx)
2) It can be uncomfortable. During the
procedure, the doctor or nurse may have a hard time finding the cervical
opening. This can cause a bit of pain and may take more time as they try to
find the opening.
3) Timing. Ovulation doesn’t always occur
at a time that will fit with our schedules. Balancing work and other responsibilities
can be hard when you only have a 24 hour window of opportunity to make it into
the doctors. This may result in having to wait another month or having to cancel
plans.
