When it comes to getting pregnant, sometimes nature needs a little push. That often means bypassing more conventional methods of intercourse and inseminating a woman with sperm, either from her partner or from an anonymous donor. Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a simple medical procedure in which the sperm are inserted into a woman's uterus through a tube.
