    Yes it was London prices and the initial consultation and the bloods and HFEA admin fee probably amounted to about £500 of it. I recall being told that future IUIs would be around the £1k mark but DH's sample for the IUI was such that we only did one IUI and were then told IVF with ICSI would be our best hope.

    After I posed my question I did a bit of googling and quotes seem to be around £1000 - although I'm sure there are add ons. Extra scans, FS appt, hsg if needed etc. good to know a rough idea though.

    Cost wise it would be doable for us.

    Hope Clomid cycle 4 works though & we don't need to consider it.

    Question for anyone who has had IUI privately what did it cost?

    Think FS will discuss this when we see him on Sat - although my BMI may be an issue.

    We paid about £1200. A lot will depend on how much of the drugs you need - every woman's different and the price of drugs is a huge part of all private fertility treatment.

    Just had my 7 day progesterone test. Came back at 46.

    How does that compare to others on clomid? 9DPO today and no AF yet so atleast my LP is better than last month.

    I too thought each round of IUI was about £1000. Certainly more financially do-able than IVF but also has lower chances of success no?

    Hope everyone is doing okay. I just shouted at my DS because I have zero patience today. I am a bad mummy :(

    Hi Lily - these were my prog levels on clomid

    1st month clomid - 46
    2nd month clomid - 16
    3rd month clomid - 55


    I'd say 46 is more than adequate!

    Indeed! I'm so glad I continued on it as I was ready to give up after month two - had bleeding from days 9-16 plus a short luteal phase, and then with that low progesterone level I was really upset, you may remember! So last month I was just hoping to get a high progesterone level let alone anything else!
