You will need to have a few blood tests and possibly other tests to make sure you are ready for the insemination. You can have the test taken in your home country or with us. Read more about pre-IUI testing in the UK.

If you need treatment with donor sperm, you must choose and order it before treatment.

We have a wide selection of donor sperm in stock – carefully selected and tested by our own team through Diers Selected. If you order the sperm through us, it will you save the costs of a pregnancy slot, shipping and handling.

We are happy to help you find the right sperm donor.

When your ovulation test is positive, your IUI treatment will take place within 24–36 hours. We first perform an ultrasound scan, after which the donor sperm is prepared and the insemination can be carried out. The entire appointment takes approximately 30–45 minutes.

If you are having IUI with partner sperm, please allow an additional 45–60 minutes for sperm preparation before the insemination.

Feedback on the IUI treatment

After the insemination procedure, we will provide you with a pregnancy test, which should be taken 14 days after the treatment.

We understand that the waiting period before taking the pregnancy test can feel long and be filled with a range of emotions. This is completely natural, as you are waiting for news that could change your life.

If the pregnancy test is negative, don’t lose hope. It is entirely normal for multiple attempts to be needed before achieving pregnancy. You can view our pregnancy success rates here.

As we are required to report all treatment outcomes to the Danish Health Authority, it is very important that you inform us of the result, whether the treatment was successful or not.

At Diers Klinik, we prioritise performing IUI treatments during your natural cycle, eliminating the need for hormonal treatment.

If you have a regular menstrual cycle and can test for ovulation, there is typically no need for hormone treatment, provided you are otherwise healthy.

This allows you to wait for a positive ovulation test in peace, without worrying about clinic closures.

When you ovulate, we are always ready to provide treatment, including on weekends and public holidays.

Risks of IUI treatment

IUI is considered the least invasive fertility treatment and very few women experience minimal side effects after IUI treatment
