What does Artificial Insemination involve?
Artificial insemination is an assisted reproduction technique that involves introducing sperm, previously treated in the laboratory, into the woman’s uterine cavity to achieve pregnancy. This way, it attempts to shorten the distance between the sperm and the egg, thus facilitating their encounter.
It is a simple and painless procedure, suitable for women with open fallopian tubes and correct ovarian function. The pregnancy rate per artificial insemination cycle is around 20-25%.
