Which is more expensive - IUI or IVF

IUI is simply the transfer of activated sperms into the womb at the time of the ovulation pre identified by ultrasound so as to optimize the chances of pregnancy. IVF on the other hand is a much more involved procedure as detailed above

Where do you do your IVF?

An IVF cycle usually starts on day 2 of a menstrual cycle and the stimulation lasts usually for 10 days and then when the follicles are large enough , a trigger is given and the eggs are then retrieved after approximately 36 hours. The eggs are then inseminated and the embryos are observed after 24 hours onwards to day 2-5. Transfer of the embryos are done usually day 3 or 5 . My preference is for day 5 .
