The Best of Dr Sher - Egg Whisperer Show - What is IUI? History of IUI and How it Works

We're back with our second episode in "The Best of Dr. Sher on The Egg Whisperer Show" podcast featuring our Associate Medical Director, Dr. Geoffrey Sher. Dr. Sher is the literal pioneer of Intrauterine Insemination (IUI).
In 1982, Dr. Sher and his colleagues pioneered the way by being the FIRST to wash and centrifuge sperm before injecting it into the uterine cavity with a catheter. Talk about groundbreaking!
🥚 Curious about IUI and why it might be recommended for some patients? We've got you covered! Dr. Sher and Dr. Aimee talk all about how IUI works, the differences between IUI and IVF, and when to choose one over the other.
👩‍⚕️ Not always discussed: they talk about how IUI doesn't improve pregnancy rates per treatment cycle for regular ovulators. The truth is that for women ovulating regularly, the success rate is around 10% with IUI, maybe a maximum of 15% based on your age.
👩‍⚕️Women with irregular ovulation or conditions like PCOS have better success rates with IUI than women with regular ovulation and normal ovarian reserve when IUI is combined with Controlled Ovarian Stimulation (COS) using gonadotropins.
Tune in and learn on The Egg Whisperer Podcast as we unravel the mysteries of IUI with the one and only Dr. Geoffrey Sher! 🎧
