I see alot of talk about IUI procedures, but has anyone had success with ICI? My partner (who has 2 children by IUI)are going to be trying to conceive soon. Need some advice?

Hi jaimelynn,
I don't know anyone who has had success with ICI. All my friends who got pregnant through artificial insemination did so with IUI. The advantage to IUI is that the sperm is deposited at the entrance of the uterus versus ICI which the sperm is deposited at the entrance of the cervix. The sperm has less to travel which could be a good thing. ICI specimens are cheaper than IUI because IUI specimens have to be washed before they can be used. You might want to google success rates between the two. Good luck with whatever you decide.
