Artificial insemination is the name given to any type of procedure that places sperm inside your reproductive tract through a method other than sexual intercourse. Artificial insemination is often used when a male partner is unable to ejaculate during intercourse or when a woman is experiencing difficulties with ovulation or cervical mucus. There are four main types of artificial insemination, including:
- IUI, or intrauterine insemination
- IVI, or intravaginal insemination
- ICI, or intracervical insemination
- ITI, or intratubal insemination
Many couples that are struggling with infertility choose to undergo artificial insemination procedures to help increase their chances of becoming pregnant. By inserting sperm directly into the female reproductive tract, it is much easier for sperm to reach the female egg thus aiding in conception. Intracervical insemination (ICI) is one of the more common types of artificial insemination procedures. It works to increase pregnancy rates by placing sperm directly into a woman’s cervix. This procedure is popular because it is non-invasive, painless, and relatively inexpensive.
And it makes me wonder how fortunate those women who gets pregnant by accident. There are those who mated just ones and immediately conceive!
