Intracervical insemination (ICI) is one of the least expensive methods of artificial insemination. It’s also one that is the least complicated and can be performed in the comfort of your reproductive specialist’s office. What they do is to take the sperm from your partner and then they insert it into the woman’s cervix, enhancing the chances of the sperm swimming through the uterus and ultimately into the fallopian tube. ICI is most commonly in women who have presented signs of being infertile.

Both partners will be tested and diagnosed before commencing with ICI, just to make sure that there aren’t any other underlying problems in regards to their individual reproductive organs. By monitoring the levels of luteinizing hormones (LH) in the female’s blood, the specialist can easily determine which days you would be most fertile and then know when to go forth with the procedure. On the female’s day of ovulation, the already prepared sperm will be injected within a 24 hour window, and again in 36 hours.
