My cousin and his wife just had their final artificial insemination procedure. It cost them $15,000 for the donated sperm. They had enough for 3 procedures. The first 2 inseminations did not produce a pregnancy. They are supposed to find out in one week if this time they are pregnant. We are praying that this one works as they do not have another $15,000 to buy more sperm. My cousin has a medical condition and he does not produce viable sperm.

It is much less expensive than doing IVF. A "natural" iui can cost as little as $300, including washing the sperm (if you use your husband's sperm - more if you use a donor). Some doctors will let you use OPK's to monitor when to come in for the procedure, but others will want to do ultrasound, which adds significantly to the cost. If you use drugs to induce ovulation, the cost goes up to around $1500 or more.

This website offers sperm for about $300-400 but adding on delivery and other charges it looks like it could cost up to a $1000. If you are considering this option for yourself, definitely go through a doctor who can help you make sure of the timing and finding a reputable source. Another website seems to be in about the same price ranges. http://www.zygen.com/

I hate to say it but it may be cheaper to get it done in Cananda or Europe, the cost is pretty high here in the US!
