What is IVF?
IVF is a technique where fertilisation of the egg and sperm will take place outside the body, in a laboratory Petri dish. In conventional IVF, lots of sperm are added to the Petri dish next to an egg. ICSI (Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection) is a form of IVF where single sperm is injected inside an egg to facilitate fertilisation if there is a severe sperm proble

What is Intrauterine Insemination?

Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is process whereby sperm are artificially placed in the uterus with the help of a catheter. This procedure helps to ensure that more sperm are available and able to access a womans egg, thereby aiding fertilisation and conception.
IUI is the updated name for what was once known as artificial insemination. The reason for the name change is that artificial insemination can now occur in four different locations: the vagina (intravaginal insemination), the cervix (intracervical insemination), the uterus and the fallopian tubes (intratubal insemination). While artificial insemination is seen as an umbrella term for these four methods, intrauterine insemination is the more exact name that refers to the specific method of placing sperm in the uterus. Of the four methods, IUI is the most commonly used while intratubal insemination is rarely used as it involves an invasive procedure.

Also with IVF you have medication to supress your natural cycle, then medication to stimulate your ovaries to produce lots of eggs.
-You can do a medicated IUI cycle, but you can also be inseminated during your natural cycle.
