DONOR INTRAUTERINE INSEMINATION
How do I organize it?
FIRST CONSULTATION:
The first thing you need to do is book in for a first consultation. This consultation is
essential to ensure that you are suitable for the procedure and that there are no
medical reasons for which it is more likely that it will not work for you.


At this appointment you will receive a full medical and gynaecological exam
including an ultrasound to ensure that you are suitable for the procedure.
All your investigations (bloods) are organised.
Bloods will include:
Hormonal test
Thyroid function
Liver and renal function
Full blood count
Screening for HIV, syphilis and hepatitis
Once we have received all your results you will return for a second appointment.
SECOND APPOINTMENT





You attend this appointment when all your results are ready and it is clear that
there is no problem for you to proceed with the treatment.
You will receive your drug prescription and you will be shown how to use the
medication.
When you attend for this appointment you should have the sperm reserved and
paid for with Cryos International.
You should pick IUI ready straw MOT 5 and reserve two.
Some patients prefer to order more straws as the expensive part is the transport
(we can store the sperm here so you can order more for further treatments if
you wish in case you were not successful). You can order the transport to us in
dry ice which is cheaper.

START OF TREATMENT:

Please telephone the clinic at the beginning of your cycle. If your period starts
after 5pm the following day will be classed as Day 1. A date and time will be
given to you to attend the clinic for your first scan.

Day 2 please commence your medication as instructed.
Gonal f (at the dose you have been prescribed) in the morning

Day 6 commence Cetrotide in the evening and continue daily until otherwise
instructed.

Day 7-10 A vaginal scan will be performed and you will be instructed to
attend for further monitoring as required. A plan for the IUI date will be done
approximately after the first scan.

When the scan shows that the ovaries are ready you will be given an injection
called Ovitrelle. This releases the eggs.

Following intra-uterine insemination you will be advised to start a daily
progesterone vaginal gel for fourteen days. This is to keep the lining of womb
receptive for a pregnancy.
