INTRAUTERINE INSEMINATION
If the cause of infertility is suspected to be the quality of the cervical mucus or an inability of the sperm to move toward the egg fast enough, intrauterine insemination can be tried. Bypassing the cervix, sperm are deposited directly into the uterus, from where they swim into the fallopian tubes. Conception rates for this treatment range from 30-40% when cervical mucus is the problem and 14-40% when inadequate sperm are responsible.
