About This Service
Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a fertility procedure in which prepared sperm is placed directly into the uterus around the time of ovulation. It is generally considered a less invasive and less costly option compared to IVF, and is often explored before moving to more intensive treatments. IUI is available at many fertility clinics and some reproductive health clinics across BC. This page provides general educational information only — consult a qualified healthcare provider to understand whether IUI may be appropriate for your situation.
Who May Look for This Service
IUI may be considered by individuals or couples with unexplained infertility, those with mild male factor infertility, same-sex female couples or single individuals using donor sperm, people with cervical factor issues, and those who want to try a less intensive treatment before considering IVF.
Common Decision Factors

- The clinic's experience with IUI and their success communication approach
- Cost per cycle and what is included
