A line-by-line breakdown of what an IUI cycle in Chennai actually costs — consultation, tests, medication, monitoring, the procedure itself — so you can budget with confidence.
IUI Is the Most Affordable Assisted Fertility Treatment
Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is typically the first assisted treatment couples try, and it is far less expensive than IVF. But an accurate budget needs more than a single headline number. Here is a complete breakdown of every component of an IUI cycle in Chennai.
Line-by-Line IUI Cost Breakdown
Component | What it covers | Typically billed |
|---|---|---|
Initial consultation | Fertility assessment for both partners | Often free or low-cost at first visit |
Pre-IUI tests | Semen analysis, hormone tests, tubal patency check (HSG) | One-time, before the first cycle |
Ovulation medication | Oral tablets (letrozole/clomiphene) or injectables | Per cycle; injectables cost more |
Follicle monitoring scans | 2–4 ultrasounds to time insemination | Per cycle |
Trigger injection | hCG shot to release the egg | Per cycle |
Sperm preparation | Washing and concentrating sperm in the lab | Per cycle |
IUI procedure | Placing prepared sperm into the uterus | Per cycle |
Luteal support | Progesterone after the procedure | Per cycle |
Donor sperm (if needed) | Sourced from a licensed bank | Additional, per cycle |
Budgeting for Multiple Cycles
Because IUI pregnancy rates per cycle are modest, most couples plan for 3–4 cycles. Many clinics offer multi-cycle packages that reduce the per-cycle price. Pre-IUI tests are a one-time cost and do not repeat.
How to Avoid Surprise Charges
Ask whether the quoted price is per cycle or a package
Confirm whether medication and scans are included
Ask what happens financially if a cycle is cancelled before insemination
