Artificial : Insemination is taking sperm (either fresh or thawed out banked sperm) and placing it in the vagina in an effort to achieve a viable pregnancy. Success rate varies depending upon the cause of infertility that necessitated ai in the first place, as well as the fertility of the sperm sample. Sperm samples can remain viable for decades or more if frozen and stored properly.

IUI: Nowadays artificial insemination isuallyrefers to intrauterine insemination. This is where the sperm specimen is washed then placed into a catheter and this catheter is carefully placed at the very top of the uterus where approximately a half a cc of the sperm and culture media combination is deposited. Pregnancy rate if all is as normal as can be ranges between 15 to 20% per attempt.
