At the most fertile time in your cycle, sperm is placed directly into the uterus to increase the chance of fertilisation.

In these situations, we advise you to semen transfer:

• Low sperm count or poor motility
• Erectile or ejaculation problems
• Issues with sperm reaching the uterus
• Cervical mucus blocking sperm
• Physical conditions preventing intercourse

Yes, though minimal. Risks may include:

• Hormonal side effects (e.g. mood changes)
• Mild infections
• Psychological stress
• Possibility of multiple pregnancies

Pregnancy rates are between 12–15% per cycle. Lesbian couples often see slightly higher success rates due to fewer underlying reproductive issues like PCOS or blocked fallopian tubes.

It varies. Most couples require several attempts.

Naturally – after insemination, the sperm travels to the fallopian tubes, where it may meet and fertilise an egg.

We wait. A pregnancy test is done about three weeks later. If successful, a heartbeat can usually be seen three weeks after that.

Flexibility is important. Insemination is timed precisely to the woman’s cycle. Ideally, fresh sperm is used and collected at our clinic.
