The process of artificial insemination involves several steps:
1. Ovulation Monitoring: The female partner's ovulation cycle is closely monitored using ovulation predictor kits, ultrasound, and blood tests to determine the best time for insemination. 2. Sperm Collection and Preparation: Sperm is collected from the male partner or a sperm donor. The sperm is then washed and concentrated to increase the chances of fertilization. 3. Insemination Procedure: During IUI, the prepared sperm is inserted directly into the uterus using a thin catheter. For ICI, sperm is placed directly into the cervix.
