= There are 4 commonly used methods of Artificial Insemination : IUI (Intrauterine Insemination), IUTPI (Intrauterine tuboperitoneal insemination), ICI (Intracervical insemination), ITI (Intratubal insemination). =

Artificial Insemination is used to treat Infertility. Infertility is the inability of a couple to have a baby. It is estimated that about 15% of couples in North America are infertile. Out of the 15% about 20% of cases of infertility are due to a problem in the man, 40-50% of cases are due to a problem in the woman, 30-40% of cases are due to a problem in both a woman and the man. Causes of infertility range from a man being unable to produce enough sperm to a woman being unable to produce enough hormones. In other situations, disease and the medical treatment used to cure the disease can cause infertility. For example, chemotherapy or radiation treatment to stop the spread of cancer can damage the egg cells of women or the sperm cells of men. As a result, women may decide to freeze embryos before undergoing cancer treatment, and men may decide to freeze their sperm. ======

The steps involved are: SAUL. Doctors take a male's sperm. They inject it into the female's uterus. This process has been around for thirty years. It is most commenly used when a male has infurtial sperm or not enough sperm. So they either take the male's sperm and inject it into the uterus or they get a sperm donner who donates their own sperm unanimously. ======

There is roughly 10-15% of a success rate per menstrual cycle using ICI, and a 15–20% success rate per menstrual cycle for IUI. In IUI, about 60-70% of women have achieved pregnancy after six menstrual cycles .======
