how much does IUI cost?

[ALT76]

So I have PCOS, I'm 31 and I'm on my 4th round of clomid, but I'm starting to lose hope.  I do not get af on my own (need provera to get it), much less O, so if it doesn't work, I don't know what I will do because IUI and IVF are NOT covered on our insurance.  I'm beginning to think that if I want IUI done, I need to do it while I can still take clomid, because I'm doubtful that a shot would be enough for me, since my cycle is so wacky and basically nonexistent.  I have an appointment scheduled w/an RE, but he's scheduling so far in advance that it isn't til Sept, and by then I should be done with my 6th and final treatment of clomid so it will be too late.  Does anyone know how much IUI costs WITHOUT, I repeat, WITHOUT insurance covering any portion of it?  Has anybody out there paid completely out of pocket?  I need to start considering funding resources now, as well as holding off on my last 2 rounds of clomid if it's something I think we could swing financially.

After two trips to UROL for my husband his two SAs,  U/S,  hormone level check - he has low sperm count.  His urol says only option is ivf w/ a count at 8.9 mill/ml.  My ob/gyn is recommending clomid with iui - any experience with femera or info on increased risks?  Thanks ladies - you have been far more helpful than most...  GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL!

I just went to my RE last week and we are set up for an IUI in Decemer. The IUI is 500.00 and the US are 249.00 each. My insurance will cover the medication. The insurance would cover the US if we wanted to do timed intercourse for one month and see how it goes.

We had our first IUI last month and the total came to just shy of $700. This was without insurance.
Clomid- 15.00 (with insurance)
Ovidrel- 35.00 (with insurance)
Ultrasound- 179.00 (not covered)
IUI- 459.00 (not covered)

hey i was just wondering common infertility drug costs without insurance...  i have  PCOS, And im considering an IUI and it takes Provera for me to have a cycle. I have been tryning to convieve for 5yrs. im in my 20's... im sure to afford eveything it may take a bit for us to save up, so i'd just like to know what to aim for savings wise. i havent used clomid or  anything just yet.

I just wanted to let everyone know (just in case they didn't) that Walmart has the $4 prescription list and Chlomiphene is on there for $9! I know I used to pay like $50 for it a few years ago, so I am sure it is more now. Just a heads up. Every little bit helps!
Good luck to all.

Have you ever gotten your period without provera while taking clomid????/Because if not then clomid never made you ovulate also how much clomid do you take hopefully at least 150mgs. I would suggest using femera instead of clomid and injectables before you start iui you never no maybe that will work. The injectables are very powerful.
