MAP, artificial insemination: how does it work?

If you're wondering what exactly happens during an artificial insemination procedure, here are the answers to your questions.

• The first step is to collect sperm from the man (your partner or a donor), which is usually done on the day of the insemination. Rest assured that if this is not possible, the technique also works with frozen sperm.
• The sperm is introduced into your uterus with a pipette at the moment of ovulation. You will hardly feel anything!
• To stimulate ovulation, the doctor may prescribe an ovulation-inducing treatment.
