What are the advantages of AI over IVF?

Artificial insemination is usually the first treatment to apply when patients go to a fertility clinic, because it is simple, fast and painless. Furthermore, compared to IVF, the ovarian stimulation process is much smoother, which reduces possible side effects and treatment costs.

Higher doses of hormonal medication as well as surgical intervention under anesthesia to obtain the eggs are the main disadvantages of IVF. The final price of the treatment is also much more expensive for all the material, personnel and technology required.
