Week-by-Week Artificial Insemination Timeline Explained

Artificial insemination (IUI) can feel overwhelming if you don’t know what to expect, which is why this week-by-week timeline breaks it down in simple, clear steps. From your first consultation and diagnostic testing to syncing treatment with your cycle, we explain how each stage works. You’ll see how hormone tests, fertility medications, monitoring, and the trigger shot lead up to the actual IUI procedure, followed by the two-week wait and pregnancy testing. This guide also explores natural cycle IUI vs. medication-supported cycles, helping you understand the differences in approach and timing. Along the way, we cover what symptoms—both physical and emotional—you might notice, plus possible early pregnancy signs. We also explain the risks, side effects, cost considerations, and how artificial insemination compares to IVF. With this timeline, you’ll know exactly what happens each week, making your fertility journey less stressful and more empowering. https://newlifefertility.com/blog/artificial-insemination-timeline/
