Is IUI more successful than IVF?

However, IUI is considerably less effective than IVF, and couples may require multiple cycles before being able to conceive, bringing the overall expenditure closer to half the cost of IVF. In the U.S., the average cost of IVF is around $11,000 to $12,000, but again, IVF has considerably higher success rates than IUI.

Should I do IUI or straight to IVF?

Why are hCG injections given after IUI?

Should I try IUI before IVF?
