Artificial insemination, or AI, is


the process by which sperm is placed into the reproductive tract of a female for the purpose of impregnating the female by using means other than sexual intercourse or natural insemination. In humans, it is used as assisted reproductive technology, using either sperm from the woman's male partner or sperm from a sperm donor (donor sperm). In cases where donor sperm is used the woman is the gestational and genetic mother of the child produced, and the sperm donor is the genetic or biological father of the child.

AIH- Artificial Insemination in Husband


- Done when one of the couple don t want to engage to a sexual intercourse activity but want to get impregnated.

AID- Artificial Insemination From Donor


-If donor sperm are necessary, you can choose a known or

anonymous donor who is willing to provide sperm. -- Donor sperm from a male who isn't a sex partner (as from a sperm bank, friend, or relative) must remain frozen for at least 6 monttested twice over 6 months to ensure that he does not have any number hs before it can be used. This is done so that the donor can be of infectious diseases, including the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).3

In the 1980s, direct intraperitoneal insemination (DIPI) was occasionally used, where doctors injected sperm into the lower abdomen through a surgical hole or incision, with the intention of letting them find the oocyte at the ovary or after entering the genital tract through the ostium of the fallopian tube.

There are several artificial insemination steps involved in this fertility treatment procedure. Once all the tests have been conducted, the doctor will be able to recommend which artificial insemination method should be opted for.

There are three different methods of artificial insemination:


(1.)the intrauterine insemination (IUI), (2.)the intracervical insemination (ICI) and the; (3.)intratubal insemination. Of these, the IUI and the ICI are the most common methods of artificial insemination, which are easy and safe as well. The intratubal insemination method is comparatively rare due to its low success rates. The following will brief you about the artificial insemination steps.

STEP# 1: Based on the medical reports, the doctor may or may not advice the female partner to take fertility medication that stimulates production and maturation of eggs. This fertility medication needs to be taken just before the commencement of the menstrual cycle. STEP# 2: The woman's ovulation cycle is determined, using body basal temperature and ultrasound and, the hormone levels are closely monitored.

STEP# 3: A sperm sample is obtained from the male partner, which is 'washed' and concentrated. This needs to be done so that the mucus and non-motile sperms are removed which will increase the possibility of fertilization. STEP# 4: At the beginning of ovulation, the sperm is inserted into the woman's reproductive tract, using a catheter in the IUI method or a needle less syringe in the ICI method. Both these methods are painless, but the ICI is a quicker method. If the egg is fertilized, that is, if pregnancy occurs, it can be detected 2 weeks later.
Note: The number of artificial insemination cycles that you would need to undergo would depend upon the cause and extent of the infertility problem. Consuming fertility medication during the artificial insemination process will increase your chances of getting pregnant. In case of failure of this process, the stimulated artificial insemination process can be opted for.

It makes a way for male and female to produce a baby even though they are infertile. 2. It reduces the chances of passing genetic disorders unto a child. 3. It allows same sex couples to bear a child. 4. Insemination procedures are the simplest and least expensive methods of assisted reproduction. No anesthesia or surgery is needed. 5. Your baby will get the same characteristics of the traits you want. In short, more positive traits and characters to him/her.
