Brief Answer:
IUI has 10 - 15 % success rate in unexplained infertility.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
I need to go into some details here.
Want to request you for a few details.
Unexplained infertility means that all the investigations for infertility have come out to be normal.
Is that so ?
Let me count them off -
1. Semen analysis of your husband.
2. Patency of your fallopian tubes - HSG or laparoscopy
3. Ovulation - confirmed by follicular monitoring
4. No fibroids or uterine factors.
5. unable to conceive after trying actively for more than a year.
Have all the above tests been done ?
And what is the report of follicular study for this month ?
What is the egg size ?
What injection is she planning to give ?
How many cycles of follicular monitoring have you undergone ?
IUI has 10 - 15 % success rate in cases with unexplained infertility.
So 1 in 6 patients going for IUI will conceive.
Success rates may improve with multiple cycles of IUI.
Please provide the details I asked for so that I can guide you accordingly.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Take care.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
After follicle size of 22 by 23 mm, was it confirmed that it ruptured ( ovulation occurred ).
If yes, then IUI was done at the correct time.
It could have been done a bit earlier , at the time when rupture was confirmed, but yes, 5pm is also acceptable time.
It is good that you had passed urine before IUI, as it helps in insertion of the semen.
Yes, 1 IUI is enough for that cycle.
precautions include -
Rest for the next 2 weeks after the IUI.
Take medications as advised by your doctor.
Avoid eating food from outside.
Do not take any medication without consulting your doctor first.
Avoid stress, travelling.
Refrain from sexual activity if possible.
It is important to have a semen analysis report, it is very essential for future treatment.
Chances of success of IUI are 10 - 15 %, so please remain hopeful.
Was this your first IUI ?

Brief Answer:
As below
Detailed Answer:
Some amount of cramping and pain in lower abdomen is normal after IUI, as the semen is deposited high up near the uterus.
Normally, in an ejaculate, there is around 2 - 5 ml of seminal fluid.
For IUI, even 2 ml is enough, as it is concentrated and washed semen.
So two teaspoons is quite enough.
From one ejaculate, almost more than 100 million sperms are produced.
You cannot know whether implantation has occurred or not.
Only if you miss your next period, pregnancy can be confirmed.
So relax, dont stress, and if you miss your period, please take a pregnancy test.
Take care.
Keep in touch.
