What is FemaSeed?
FemaSeed is the latest advancement in artificial insemination. This fertility treatment focuses on supplying sperm directly into the fallopian tube, (Fallopian Tube Delivery) which is the natural site of conception. FemaSeed was created with the intent of enhancing fertilization while remaining accessible, safe and cost-efficient.
How Does FemSeed Work?
FemaSeed is defined as a local and directional form of insemination. The procedure needs to line up with the first half of the menstrual cycle - medication may be supplied for those who experience menstrual cramps to lessen any discomfort.
Once scheduled, the patient will then undergo a series of brief and non-invasive steps:
Step 1:
An ultrasound test is performed to help determine the emplacement of the egg, or dominant follicle.
Step 2:
Once identified, the FemaSeed device is placed in the uterine cavity and directed towards the selected fallopian tube.
Step 3:
The sperm is then administered through the FemaSeed device and into the fallopian tube where it can live up to 72 hours.
Step 4:
The device is removed, leaving behind the seminal fluid in the fallopian tube, where conception happens.
How Can FemaSeed Benefit Me?
One benefit is FemaSeed’s affordability. Since the procedure is non-surgical and only takes a few minutes, the cost for this treatment can differ significantly from other treatments. It's a great option for those who wish to get pregnant through artificial insemination but shoulder financial concerns.
Because FemaSeed is a non-surgical procedure, it’s regarded as a safe insemination method. The procedure only takes a few minutes so it’s also time efficient for those with busy lives! All in all, this procedure is a great alternative to other assisted reproductive technologies, i.e. in vitro fertilization (IVF).
How Does FemaSeed Differ from Other Treatments?
This device provides an alternative approach to treatments like Historic IUI, (Uterine Cavity Delivery).
Rather than having the sperm exert its way to the correct fallopian tube, the sperm is easily placed into the fallopian tubes.
What Are the Success Rates with FemaSeed?
Reportedly, 1 in 4 women became successfully impregnated. However, for a more thorough examination of your medical history, we suggest consulting with a fertility specialist. A specialist, such as Dr. Saadat, would be able to help talk you through your fertility needs and navigate you through the different procedure(s).

Most Frequently Asked
“Eternally Grateful”
It is amazing what a difference a year can make. Last year we were feeling depressed and anxious and unsure about whether or not this would happen for us. This year we are expecting the birth of our first child. Dr. Saadat is amazing. You will feel the difference right away between his office and any other office around. They must make it a rule there to only hire friendly, compassionate people because everyone there was so sweet – especially all the nurses. Thanks again for everything guys!
"Felt Welcome From the Start"
I wanted to say thank you to the entire staff for making us feel welcome to our first visit especially on a Saturday. We met with Dr. Sadaat and was very informative and took time with us with all of our questions. For the financial department, Melissa was very helpful with keeping in contact with us regarding any paperwork that we needed as well as with setting our appointment. We do look forward for treatment with Dr. Saadat.
"The Solution to Our Problems"
We just celebrated our son’s first birthday, and thought we should send out warm wishes to Dr. Saadat and his team as well. Without them this would not have been possible. We had “unexplained” infertility issues and the first clinic we went to was not very friendly and we felt like we were just another “cycle”. Dr. Saadat was always willing to answer questions and the nurses there were terrific. I felt like everyone in the office was on our side, and that makes a huge difference. So thank you to everyone from Anna, Michael and Alex.
"One Big Thank You"
Dr Saadat is very open and accommodating to my financial and medical concerns. He doesn’t force unnecessary tests like other places do. He’s a very nice and efficient reproductive endocrinologist.
"Helpful in Every Way"
We traveled across the world to be treated by Dr. Saadat. My wife was not able to have babies and we could not get an answer from Doctors in our country why. It is also important in our culture that our first baby be male. Dr. Saadat was able to help my wife get pregnant and make sure that we had a baby boy. They were helpful in every way and we felt comfortable even though we are not from the United States. Everyone was patient and understanding and respectful. We will be back in a few years to grow our family.
"It's Never Too Late!"
All I can say is do not give up hope! I was 43 when I got pregnant for the first time. I had honestly been trying for years. I now have 3 beautiful children, a 6 year old girl and 3 year old twins – a boy and a girl. I feel blessed every day. It can happen. Thank you Dr. Saadat.
"The Perfect Fit for the Job"
I came to Dr. Saadat’s office because I felt like the Doctor I was working with was not a good fit. It isn’t that they were doing anything wrong but I did not feel a connection. This is such a personal type of medical treatment, and I want the people helping me to make me feel cared for. Dr. Saadat’s approach is also a bit different – he does all the ultrasounds himself – which is very reassuring. His staff is great, and his bedside manner is comforting. I am thankful for everything they all did, and thankful everyday for my daughter!
