[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We did IUIs Shady Grove, and were quite pleased.  Dr. Osbourne was our main doctor.  IUI.  California Cryobank--all sperm banks have minimum standards for their sperm, so I don't think quality is usually an issue.  Cost depends on ICI vs. IUI and whether a donor is willing to let the kid contact him when the kid is 18 (open or identity release donors).  You can see baby pics of most of their donors.  Your insurance will probably cover some of the costs.

ICI with frozen sperm takes an average of 12 months to conceive, so we went with IUI and DW got pregnant our 3rd month.

We're a lesbian couple, so it was basically a 0 sperm count issue for us.  Shady Grove recommended some preliminary fertility testing for DW before she tried IUI, and the testing was pretty easy and covered by insurance.  She said the IUI procedure really wasn't bad at all, and each one took less than 5 minutes.[/quote]

Thank you for sharing and congrats on results :)

What about the cost, can you share that info, of course if you don't mind :) [/quote]
