How successful is IUI?
When the blockage is closest to the ovary, the success rate of IUI is 11.7\%. When the blockage is closest to the uterus, the success rate is as high as 38.1\%. If your partner has male factor infertility and no severe sperm problems, you can benefit from IUI.
Can you have twins with artificial insemination?
Yes. Given the nature of fertility treatments, the chances of multiple births while undergoing assisted reproduction procedures tends to be higher than natural pregnancies. The combination of washed sperm and fertility drugs means a greater chance of multiple eggs being fertilized during an IUI cycle.
What does the Bible say about artificial insemination in animals?
For many years, artificial insemination has been employed in animal breeding. God gave man dominion over such creatures and allows him to use them for food, clothing, and so forth. ( Gen. 1:28; 3:21; 9:2-4) The Mosaic Law forbade interbreeding animals of two sorts, but it did not otherwise limit what man might do to regulate animal reproduction.
How does artificial insemination work in humans?
Artificial insemination introduces sperm into a woman’s body by use of a thin tube (cannula) or other instrument to bring about a pregnancy. Artificial insemination can be either homologous (using sperm from a woman’s husband) or heterologous (using sperm from a man she is not married to).
Can a Christian married couple prayfully consider artificial insemination?
God is absolutely sovereign over the reproductive process. If it is God’s sovereign will for a woman to get pregnant, she will get pregnant. If it is not God’s sovereign will, she will not get pregnant, no matter what methods the couple attempts. Yes, a Christian married couple can prayerfully consider artificial insemination.
Does artificial insemination override God’s sovereignty?
Artificial insemination does not “overrule” God’s sovereignty. Nothing overrules God’s sovereignty. As proven by the account of Abraham and Sarah, God is capable of enabling a reproductively dead woman to get pregnant and have a healthy baby. God is absolutely sovereign over the reproductive process.
