[quote=Anonymous]IUIs are MUCH cheaper than IVF for most. With my insurance, it was approximately 10-20 IUIs (depending on meds) equalled 1 IVF. So, if you have unexplained infertility (i.e., not an obvious problem that IVF is needed to solve), then just the extra follicles + perfect timing + shorter journey from IUIs might be enough. If time isn't a huge factor (in my case, I thought sub-37, I was willing to burn a year), then starting with IUIs make sense. In my case, it took 5 IUIs to get there. 3 at $600 (just w/ clomid; testing covered by insurance) and 2 at ~$2,000 (injectables were the price difference, but med levels are much lower than with IVF). So, I spent $6,000 and 5 months in the end. Cheaper than one round of IVF (and with less injectables) and maybe not even all that much slower once all the prep work, etc for the IVF is taken into account... and IVF may have taken multiple cycles to work.[/quote]
