What is the difference between IUI and IVF?
It is a common misconception that IUI and IVF are the same because the end goal is the same — to become a parent. However, there is quite some difference between the two procedures.
- IUI: This is usually a single cycle process that involves artificial insemination. This means that the sperm is introduced artificially into the uterus.
- IVF: When compared to IUI, IVF is slightly more complicated because the sperm fertilizes the egg outside the body — in a test tube. Once the fertilization occurs and the embryo is formed, it is transferred into the uterus. This step is called implantation.
