Understanding the Difference Between OI and IUI

If you're not ovulating regularly, or you've been trying without success, ovulation induction (OI) and intrauterine insemination (IUI) are often the first treatments discussed before IVF. In this episode, we unpack what ovulation actually is, why some women don't ovulate reliably and how medication can safely recreate the hormonal sequence needed to release an egg.

Dr Raelia also explains where intrauterine insemination fits in, who it's right for and why it's not simply "the turkey baster method". From success rates to risks, monitoring and when to move on, this conversation will help you understand your options and what might be the right next step for you.
