Is the cost of medication for IVF the same as for IUI?

By Estefanía Rodríguez Ferradas M.D., M.Sc., Ph.D. (gynecologist).
Last Update: 07/27/2022

The cost of the medication is very personalized for each patient and each treatment.

In general, for an IUI stimulation, 2 medications are used, one to stimulate the ovaries and another to provoke ovulation, but in IVF another medication must be added to prevent spontaneous ovulation. From this information alone we can deduce that IVF medication is going to be more expensive. In addition, more doses of medication are usually used to stimulate the ovaries in IVF than in AI, so the cost of this medication will be higher at the end of the treatment.

For all these reasons, when we inform you of the costs that the different medications may involve, we always give a very approximate range of figures.
