IUI -Intra uterine insemination -How to improve success ???


Semen containers, Centrifuge tubes of Tarson consumables are good enough, Micro pipette ,are a must, Cryo can as is necessary for IVF is not necessary if U dont like to have Donor IUI ,But facility of liq Nitrogen is a problem at small towns but veterinary people use it. Again a rapport will be needed.


Tip No  3:- for sperm preparation room: 1) Restrict entry of any other person except technician 2) Lady worker is very much desirable—personal choice -- from my 40 yrs experience -they seldom become absent  more so if her children  has grown up  3) B.SC pass married woman > 40 yrs desirable and if offered good salary won't leave your Lab for any other job at this age . 4) Skill on computer & record keeping knowledge will be added qualification –may keep record of all infertile couple not only IUI cases.
. All consumables are to be discarded after use. Purchase from good trustworthy Company. No facility for donor IUI initially. This may be done after 2 yrs after U have a good reputation at local  community and seek recommendations   of authentic supplier from IVF clinic .  For small towns it I discourage this procedure as quite often sperm sample on thawing are of poor quality as  use is sparse. .Of all the instruments used Makler’s sperm counting chamber is very costly and each pc is about Rs 35 000/-.Sadly, from 1990 to date my Lab technician broke M Chamber twice .Ordinary light microscope will do. I repeat once again that no other person should enter in the semen preparation room .Room. Room must be regularly cleansed must be dust free, Smoke free., Good Ventilation.  Male Lab Technician has a bad habit of smoking without the knowledge of clinician concerned & spoil the sterility of room.Top of Form

 Tip  4 :IUI : If no space at your clinic. Then it becomes a bit difficult. Make a friendship / rapport with a nearby Lab & request a favour to allow semen collection & sperm preparation in his / her Lab preferably by your own Lab technician. After the sperm is prepared  then she should carry the prepared semen to a nearby NH .A small theatre will do.  But the drawbacks are a) a god rapport with Lab owner & b) similar facility & cooperation from NH owner adjacent to your clinic. It eats much of your time. If the Semen preparation  room is not an in house then U have to keep a good rapport with nearby  Lab & nearby  owner of NH so that a minor OT is allowed to avail.
To conclude: My view is no own USG Machine-no IUI clinic: USG machine is a key for success and U mat be acquanatied with USG ,may not be with Doppler study of endometrium but at least dimensions of follicles, Ov volumes, layers  & echogenecity of endometrium,,  You may not have a lab of year own m=but think twice if U don’t have USG machine of your own, may be misguided and cost may go very high!!
