Frequently Asked Questions
The cost of IUI treatment in India is relatively affordable and typically ranges from ₹5,000 to ₹15,000 per cycle. Prices may vary depending on the clinic, city, and whether additional medications or scans are required.
The main difference is where fertilization occurs. In IUI, sperm is inserted into the uterus, and fertilization happens naturally inside the body. In IVF, eggs are retrieved, fertilized with sperm in a lab, and the resulting embryo is transferred into the uterus.
IUI and IVF serve different purposes. IUI is a simpler, less invasive, and more affordable treatment often recommended for mild infertility cases. IVF is more advanced and typically used when IUI fails or for complex fertility issues. The best option depends on individual circumstances.
Most fertility specialists recommend trying 3 to 4 IUI cycles. If pregnancy is not achieved after that, IVF is often suggested due to its higher success rates in complex or persistent infertility cases.
The IUI procedure itself takes only a few minutes. However, the full IUI cycle — including ovulation monitoring, medication (if needed), and timing the procedure — aligns with the menstrual cycle and typically takes about 2 to 3 weeks.
