IUI data

Stimulated intrauterine insemination (IUI) cycles with partner sperm in the calendar year 2012

This shows how many women became pregnant out of all the women who began an IUI cycle with partner sperm. Fertility drugs were used to increase the number of eggs the woman produces.

We only collect data from clinics on pregnancies following IUI cycles with partner sperm, not live births.

The type of drugs that a clinic uses to stimulate egg production may affect the success rates. Contact the clinic for more information.

Pregnancies per treatment cycle started in the calendar year 2012

Please be aware that the HFEA does not currently verify data submitted by clinics regarding the outcome of IUI treatment undertaken with partner sperm.

Hints and tips

Donor cycles

We do not show success rates for cycles using embryos from donor eggs by different age categories. This is because all egg donors are aged 35 or under.

Live births per treatment cycles

This shows how many women actually had a live birth out of all the women who began a treatment cycle in this year. A treatment cycle starts when a woman begins taking fertility drugs to stimulate her egg production.

Live births per treatment cycles

This shows how many women actually had a live birth out of all the women who had a frozen embryo transfer in this year.

Pregnancies per treatment cycles

This shows how many women actually became pregnant out of all the women who began a treatment cycle in this year.

Live births per treatment cycles

This shows how many women actually had a live birth out of all the women who had an DI treatment cycle in this year.

Live births per embryo transferred

This shows how many live births there actually were out of the total number of embryos transferred across all cycles in this year. It takes into account how many embryos clinics transfer in their cycles (eg, one, two or very occasionally three embryos).

Proportion of triplets born out of all live births

Any higher order multiples (eg, quads) will also be included in this column.

Proportion of triplet pregnancies out of all pregnancies

Any higher order multiple pregnancies (eg, quads) will also be included in this column.

Proportion of triplets born out of all live births

Any higher order multiples (eg, quads) will also be included in this column.

HFEA targets for single births

The HFEA introduced a policy in January 2009 to minimise the proportion of multiple births following IVF and ICSI treatment. The policy promotes the birth of a single baby as the safest outcome of fertility treatment.

The HFEA has set progressively higher targets over recent years. From January 2009 to March 2010 the target for single births was 76% (ie a maximum of 24% multiple births). From April 2010 to March 2011 the target was 80%. From April 2011 to September 2012 the target was 85% and from October 2012 onwards the target is 90%.

The clinic data we present on Choose a Fertility Clinic relate to treatments which took place before the current 90% target. The target displayed is the most appropriate for comparison with the data in the tables.
