IUI is a fertility treatment that places specially prepared sperm directly into the uterus during ovulation, increasing the chances of fertilization. This procedure bypasses potential cervical barriers and positions sperm closer to the egg.

At Palm Beach Fertility Center in Boca Raton and Aventura, we use advanced sperm washing techniques to concentrate the healthiest, most motile sperm for optimal results. The procedure is timed precisely with your ovulation cycle to maximize your chances of conception.
