Meds needed for IUI? and approximate prices?

[Anonymous]

I am about to start my first IUI cycle with CFA. My insurance does not cover meds. I know about clomid and ovidrel. What other meds are needed for IUI cycle? I am trying to research prices and just figure out a budget. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Well, are you doing a Clomid IUI cycle, or an IUI cycle with injectibles? A Clomid IUI cycle should run you $100 in drugs, more or less ($18 for the clomid from Wal-Mart, $85 for the Ovidrel.) Those are all the drugs you would need.

An injectible IUI cycle varies in drug costs because the doctor will be creating a regimen that fits you. Around $1,000 for meds seems to fit what I have heard and read, but some other women here can offer more specifics.

OP here. I am doing an IUI cycle with injectables.

Different pharmacies have the best prices on different injectibles. Do you know which brand you'll be on?

I've found that Freedom has the best prices on Gonal-F: http://www.freedomfertility.com/fertility-medications/medications-and-pricing.aspx

Just as a reference point, I needed 450 units ($372) for my last IUI cycle. You may need more or less.

You can call around for various fertility pharmacies to get free quotes. Most have free shipping too.
