ICI stands for intracervical insemination, which is a method of artificial insemination used to assist a woman in conceiving a child. During the ICI process, sperm is inserted into the cervix, which serves as the passageway to the uterus. The donated sperm is obtained and a doctor uses a syringe to insert the sperm into the cervix. ICI is regarded as simpler, less expensive, and lower risk than intrauterine insemination (IUI), which inserts sperm directly into the uterus. ICI can be a great first step on your fertility journey if you’re considered a candidate.
