Cost of Inject IUI?

Hello!!!

So, after my BFFN this cycle, I have talked to the nurse. She said we could do 2 more cycles of Clomid, or move on injectibles if I want to me more aggressive.

I realize everyone responds differently and uses different injects, but I am wondering a ball park of what it would cost for the meds. I have insurance, but NOTHING even remotely close to IF is covered, so we are completely OOP for our IF costs.

I did respond well to clomid, this cycle I had an 18.5 and 19.5 follie the day I triggered.

TIA!

Re: Cost of Inject IUI?

  • I was told to estimate about $2k for meds, $1100 for the monitoring fee and $500 for the actual IUI.

  • The actual IUI and sperm washing at my clinic is $375.

    Each ultrasound for monitoring and baseline is $200. Bloodwork is usually $90 for each monitoring appointment and I think around $200 for baseline (I could be a bit off, my insurance does cover this). (I usually had 2-3 monitoring appointments, not including baseline.)

    My Follistim was always around $1,700 and my Menopur was $1,400. My hCG was $100 and my progesetone supps were $60.

    So...that would be a grand total of $4615...

  • Wondering why if you seem to respond to clomid why not try Femara next? I know some Dr's wont prescribe but just wondering =)

  • I think it's really going to depend on how much in medication you will need. I am a decently good responder and I went through about 1350iu of Gonal-F.  I think that's about $1150 worth of drugs.  Each monitoring appointment for me was $110.  The IUI itself was $260.  Bloodwork each time was $75 (for each monitoring appointments, the beta, and the progesterone check). 

    That's a total of roughly: $2595 (for 5 monitoring appointments and one baseline appointment).

    11/10: IUI #1 =100mg Clomid CD4-8 + pregnyl trigger + IUI = chemical pregnancy
    1/11: IUI #2 = 5mg Femara + trigger + IUI = BFN
    2/11: IUI #3 = injectibles + trigger + IUI = BFN
    IVF #1 April 2011 ER 4/23 w/16 eggs retrieved, 14 mature, 11 fert., 4 blasts to freeze, 5dt of 2 blasts on 4/28, beta #1 5/7 = 243... beta #2 5/9 = 491....beta #3 5/11 = 1113!!

  • Thanks for the insight and info!!!

    I am not sure if we will move on yet to injects, femara, or stay on Clomid. But now I know how much I need in the bank, and that helps my decision immensely.

  • The cycle we did in Feb was IUI + injects and it cost us a total of $800, however, we are covered at 50%. This includes all the meds, monitoring, and the IUI itself. So if we were OOP, would have paid close to $2K.
