Is IUI Right for You?
IUI may be recommended if it offers a good chance of helping you conceive based on your medical history and fertility evaluation.

You have ovulation challenges
For women with irregular ovulation or conditions like PCOS, IUI combined with ovulation induction can improve the timing of conception.
Mild male factor infertility
IUI can be effective when sperm count or motility is mildly reduced by placing prepared sperm closer to the egg.

When fertility tests are normal but pregnancy hasn’t occurred, IUI may be an effective treatment option.

Pre Conception Journey FAQs
What is IUI?
IUI (Intrauterine Insemination) is a fertility treatment where specially prepared sperm is placed directly into the uterus around the time of ovulation. This helps increase the chances of sperm reaching the egg and fertilisation.
Who is IUI recommended for?
IUI may be recommended for couples with unexplained infertility, ovulation disorders such as PCOS, mild male factor infertility, or when donor sperm is being used. Your fertility specialist will determine whether IUI is the most suitable treatment after a complete fertility assessment.
Is the IUI procedure painful?
Most people find IUI to be quick and relatively comfortable. The procedure usually takes just a few minutes and feels similar to a routine gynaecological examination. You can typically return to your normal activities the same day.
How many IUI cycles should I try before considering IVF?
This depends on your age, diagnosis, and fertility history. Many patients try up to three or four IUI cycles before exploring IVF, but your specialist will recommend the approach that gives you the best chance of pregnancy.
What are the chances of success with IUI?
Success rates vary based on factors such as age, ovarian reserve, sperm quality, and the underlying cause of infertility. During your consultation, we’ll help you understand your individual chances and whether IUI is the right option for you.
Do I need fertility medications for IUI?
Not always. Some patients undergo IUI during a natural cycle, while others may benefit from medications that stimulate ovulation. Your treatment plan will be personalised based on your cycle and fertility evaluation.
What happens after the IUI procedure?
After the procedure, you can usually resume your normal routine. Your fertility team will guide you through the two-week waiting period before your pregnancy test and provide support every step of the way, regardless of the outcome.

Pre-Conception at Luma Fertility
Get a preconception consult to evaluate your fertility. It is helpful if you are planning to conceive or have been trying for a while. At Luma, we offer a holistic approach to gauge your reproductive health, which can help you explore options with clarity and confidence. We address not only medical health but also factor in elements that affect fertility – nutrition, lifestyle, sleep, stress, etc. A preconception consult with us is personalised and backed by scientific research ensuring you’re headed in the right direction.
Importance of Preconception Health
When you understand your own reproductive health, you are in a better position to make decisions about when you want to conceive. This will ensure you prepare with confidence. Addressing various issues, if any, before conception can mitigate significant complications and risks of birth defects. Preconception care supports lifestyle and mental health by listing out a plan for overall enhancement and learning about ways to improve your chances naturally.
Pre-Conception Consults & Care at Luma
At Luma, a preconception care consult includes fertility and cycle review, hormonal test if necessary, and a personalised plan including foods for conception, lifestyle changes for both to help conceive naturally. We recommend the couple to attend the session together as it can help understand fertility health for both partners.
Fertility Testing & Expert Guidance
We will assess your fertility, menstrual health, ovulation pattern and your overall reproductive health based on your inputs. The conception calculator can then fetch accurate results, such as month of conception and conception date. ADD male fertility testing too
Tools to Plan Conception & Pregnancy Timeline
Once you are aware of your reproductive health, couples can estimate baby conception dates by tracking ovulation with the help of conception calendars. Conception date calculators can predict fertile days and the probable conception date based on the cycle length. EDD by conception date can be arrived at using the conception date.
Conception Date & Pregnancy Tools
A conception calendar tracks ovulation and fertile dates, and calculates the due date. The calculation is typically done by adding 38 weeks to the conception date. This way, you can plan natural conception effectively with the help of a conception calendar.
Common Concerns Around Pre-Conception
You may be worried about age, or how genetics may affect conception, how your fertile health is, or if any underlying health conditions may pose a challenge in conceiving. Learn about these common concerns in a preconception consult and what you can do to navigate your way around them.
How accurate is a conception date calculator?
A conception date calculator is not accurate but gives an estimate based on your menstrual cycle and ovulation pattern. Various factors such as irregular periods or late ovulation are at play that may affect conception; hence an accurate result is not possible.
Can food and nutrition really improve chances of conception?
Certain foods for conception can increase chances of natural conception. You must consume a diet complete with folate, iron, zinc, and antioxidants to support your reproductive health.
What is the ideal preconception checklist for couples?
A preconception checklist includes medical checkups, hormonal testing, ensuring a healthy lifestyle – stress management, intake of best foods for conception, and tracking ovulation patterns.
How to know your day of conception?
There is no way to accurately know your day of conception, though you will know the month of conception. A conception calendar that tracks ovulation and fertile dates will calculate your due date by adding 38 weeks to the conception date.
