Trouble TTC

If you were OOP for your IUI...

How much was your procedure and meds?  Just trying to get a rough idea.  We are meeting with our RE tomorrow morning and I have a feeling he might suggest IUI based on my low AMH or maybe even IVF.  I will definitely ask tomorrow, but I'm really curious to know what others are being charged.  Thanks

    I haven't had an IUI and we probably don't have the same Dx.  However, because my RE thinks I am DOR based on AMH of .6 and a lower/normal AFC, he would either have me do IVF or injectibles with TI.  I can't remember the cost for an IUI itself, but he didn't think its benefit would be worth the cost in our situation (no male factor and no cervical type issues).  Injects & TI were still going to be pretty pricey.  He thought the injects would probably run me around $1500 (because he thinks I will be a poor responder) and u/s and b/w for monitoring would cost about $1,000. 

    I am not sure how helpful that is since I don't have exact numbers or anything...  Hopefully, someone else can give you some more info.

    Me= 37 and DH = 41 

    Dx: DOR, Endo, APA+ (really high beta 2 glycoprotein antibody and high everything else tested), heterozygous MTHFR mutation, positive for lupus anticoagulant, high FSH, low AMH and both tubes blocked (per HSG on 3/8/11)

    IVF #1 - long lupron (with HGH, intralipids, lovenox and BA); 4 retrieved, 3 fertilized; ET 2 blasts and 1 frozen = BFN

    IVF #2 - a version of antagonist with EPP (with HGH, intralipids, lovenox and BA); 6 retrieved, 4 mature, 3 fertilized, 2 blasts and 1 frozen blast transferred on day 5 = BFN.

    IVF #3 April was postponed to May, May was canceled. June/July was canceled. Had a cyst aspiration and then began IVF #3 in August. ER on 8/22; ET on 8/24 with AH. +HPT on 9/5. Beta #1 (11dpo) = 3; Beta #2 (15dpo) = 29; Beta #3 (17dpo) = 60; Beta #4 (19 dpo) = 118. Heartbeat at 6 weeks 6 days =132.  Lil is here!

    TTC#2:  Trigger + TI = BFN; Clomid + Trigger + IUI = BFN.

    IVF #4:  BCP + MDLF + Lovenox = 7R, 1F = Transferred 1 6-cell embryo on day 3 = BFN

    IVF #5:  MDLF + Lovenox = 4R, 1F = Transferred 1 10-cell compacting embryo on day 3 = BFN

  • I'm not out of pocket, but my insurance covers exactly 50% so I can tell you what OOP prices are. Now I'm not doing meds, but for my RE, it's $242 for the actual insemination visit, and 237 for EACH monitoring visit. If you're on meds they'll do multiple. There's also a "pre-med" visit that is 186 and covers baseline ultrasound and bloodwork (I think).

  • My insurance covered ultrasounds, b/w, and clomid. We paid $150 per IUI and since we did b2b each cycle that was $300, and we were also on injectable meds along with the clomid & that was $700 per cycele. Sperm wash was included, but they did charge a delivery fee which I thought was stupid.

    Total was about $1000 each cycle.


    After 4 years, 3 failed IUIs and 2 failed IVFs our surprise miracle is here!

    RPL testing = normal

    TI Cycle #1, 50 clomid days 3-7, 150 iu Follistim days 8-11 = BFP! EDD May 22, 2014

    Betas: 13 DPO = 79, 15 DPO = 149, 19 DPO = 788, 22 DPO = 2031

  • Mine is going to run ~$1000 to ~$1500 depending on how many ultrasounds I need.  This is for everything including meds (femera & trigger).

  • I'm in the midst of our first OOP injects + IUI cycle.  The cycle is $1500 (which includes everything from ultrasounds, b/w, sperm wash and B2B IUIs) and then the meds were $1500, but I only ended up needing 5 of the 20 vials they told me to buy for this cycle.

  • I did clomid+ovidrel+iui.  Clomid was $18 (100 mg), ovidrel was like $45, and IUI was $275.  But that doesn't include monitoring with b/w and u/s.  My b/w is usually about $20 per cycle, and I haven't been billed for any u/s, so I don't know if my insurance is just super slow, or it's covered!
