Question

Artificial Insemination

I'm wondering if anyone has had this done before? How much did it cost? My insurance won't cover anything fertility related. And then, did it work for you? Does it hurt? How does the process work? Unfortunately, I'm getting to the end of my ttc journey. Tried many different things and this is looking like my next option.

I did 7 unsuccessful IUIs. Insemination costs $850 for 2 procedures, sperm wash ($125 each prep). IUI is fast, not painful, didn't experience any cramping. It won't necessarily increase your chances for conception unless your partner has sperm issues (this is what we were told by a university program expert). Incidentally, the cycle following our 7 IUIs we conceived "the old-fashioned way", unfortunately miscarried. Best of luck to you!

So my DH and I have been TTC over 7 months now. He is 47 and has 2 children, I am 39 and have 1 child. We got married in July of last year and have been trying every since. After 5 months of trying I began bleeding 3 days after my period end and didn’t stop for 4 weeks. I went to the doc to get checked out and everything came back fine and I was told I was having a hormonal imbalance. Because of our age my doc recommend us to a fertility specialist. My DH does not like this idea at all but agreed to get tested... I had every test known to man done and I’m 100% fine, my DH however has low count and mobility, he is horrified, and does not want to try and IUI or IVF . I learned about stork OTC and showed the info to my DH he agreed to try it, we tried it 2x this month, and Im hoping it takes. We agreed we would try for 6 month using the stork and he taking vitamins to help increase his count...

Unfortunately insurance doesn't cover this. But likely point that it works. It depend on quality of donor's sperm that you will buy. I know really good company that I and many of my friends tried before and it worked from the first try with all of us. If you are still interested contact me for details,
Best regards to you!
