Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) in Georgia – Cost and Treatment at GI Rimon Clinic

Intrauterine insemination (IUI, also called artificial insemination) is a medical procedure in which prepared sperm is placed directly into the uterus through a thin catheter. It is less invasive than in vitro fertilization, and at GI Rimon clinic in Batumi we offer it to couples with normal eggs and a normal semen sample, for whom pregnancy is not achieved naturally.

IUI cost at GI Rimon clinic

At GI Rimon in Batumi we quote the cost of IUI after the first consultation, when it is clear which monitoring and which medication the cycle requires. The price includes ultrasound monitoring of the follicles, hormone tests during the cycle, preparation of the sperm sample and the insemination itself. The cost of IUI in Georgia at our clinic is considerably lower than the cost of IVF, because there is no egg retrieval, no anesthesia and no laboratory work on embryos.

If the workup shows that IUI is not suitable, or that donor sperm from our sperm bank is needed, we offer IVF programs at fixed prices:

Program Without medication and pre-stimulation tests (€) With medication and tests (€)
Intrauterine insemination (IUI) on consultation on consultation
In vitro fertilization with ICSI 4,000 7,500
IVF with donor sperm 5,000 8,500

Prices may vary by up to 10% depending on the case. The full price list of the clinic, including surrogacy programs, is on the price list page. We insist on transparency: our team explains every cost involved in the procedure in advance, so there are no surprises.

What is included in the price?

The cost of IUI at GI Rimon covers the stages required for one complete cycle: ultrasound monitoring throughout the cycle, hormone tests, preparation of the sperm sample and the insemination. If our doctor recommends mild ovarian stimulation, the medication for it is priced separately and quoted in advance.

Not included in the basic price: the preliminary fertility tests of both partners, genetic tests and additional tests according to medical need. Part of the tests can be done at your local clinic or hospital, and you send us the results; we set the scope of the workup at the first consultation, see infertility diagnosis and treatment.

In detail

What is intrauterine insemination (IUI)?

Intrauterine insemination is a procedure in which the prepared sample is injected directly into the uterine cavity through a thin catheter. At GI Rimon we time the procedure to the woman’s natural ovulation cycle, so that the insemination takes place at the most suitable moment. The procedure takes about ten minutes and requires neither hospitalization nor anesthesia.

IUI suits couples in whom ovulation and the semen sample are normal, but pregnancy is not achieved naturally. The procedure may also be suitable when the sperm count is mildly reduced or motility is poor, and the sample can be improved before the insemination.

The main difference between IUI and in vitro fertilization (IVF) is that in IUI fertilization takes place inside the woman’s body, not in the laboratory. During the preparation we process the sample, which concentrates the active cells and brings them closer to the egg. Compared with IVF, it is a less invasive procedure, and at our clinic it is often used as the first line of fertility treatment.

Donor programmes

IUI with donor sperm

For single women and couples in whom the partner has no usable sample, we offer insemination with donor sperm from our sperm bank. The donors undergo medical screening, and the patient chooses the donor according to the characteristics she specifies. The insemination itself is identical to insemination with the partner’s sample.

When there is also a female factor of infertility, or when several insemination cycles have not led to a pregnancy, we recommend moving on to IVF with donor sperm — €5,000 without medication and pre-stimulation tests, or €8,500 including them. The decision is made together with our doctor after an examination.

The programme

How IUI is performed at our clinic

At GI Rimon we perform IUI in coordination with the natural ovulation cycle. The process allows one cycle every month and starts with monitoring the development of the follicles and identifying the right moment for ovulation.

  1. Monitoring and preparation.

    We follow the development of the follicles by ultrasound and blood tests that measure hormone levels. In some patients our doctor gives mild ovulation stimulation with fertility medication.

  2. Preparation of the sample.

    In parallel, the sample is prepared in our laboratory: the process separates the suitable cells and concentrates them in a small volume.

  3. The insemination.

    The procedure takes about ten minutes and requires neither hospitalization nor anesthesia. A thin catheter is passed through the cervix, and the prepared sperm is injected directly into the uterine cavity. After the procedure the patient rests briefly at the clinic.

  4. Pregnancy test.

    About two weeks after the insemination a pregnancy test is done, and we decide together on the next step: another cycle or a move to a different treatment.

Preparation of the sperm sample

At our clinic the sample is prepared before every insemination. The process starts with the collection of the sample under sterile conditions, after 2–5 days of abstinence.

The sample then goes through a preparation process that separates good-quality cells from less viable ones. The preparation increases the concentration of motile cells and removes the seminal fluid, which is not meant to be injected into the uterus. The process takes about one to two hours, after which the prepared cells are injected directly into the uterus.

Who it suits

Who is IUI suitable for?

The procedure suits couples with normal ovulation and a normal semen sample who do not achieve pregnancy naturally. At GI Rimon we recommend the procedure, among other cases, when the sperm count is mildly reduced or there are motility problems, if the quality of the sample after preparation still allows natural fertilization. The procedure may also suit women with mild endometriosis, cervical problems or unexplained infertility, as well as single women using donor sperm.

Before the procedure we check the condition of the ovaries and the patency of the fallopian tubes: at least one tube must be open. The man undergoes a semen analysis, to make sure that there are enough active cells after preparation.

The procedure is not suitable when the fallopian tubes are completely blocked, when the sperm count is very low or when the quality of the eggs does not allow fertilization — in these situations we offer in vitro fertilization and, if necessary, programs with egg donation.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about IUI

How much does IUI cost at GI Rimon?

We set the price after the first consultation, according to the monitoring and medication required.

What is the difference between IUI and IVF?

In IUI the prepared sperm is placed in the uterus and fertilization takes place inside the body. In IVF the eggs are retrieved, fertilized in the laboratory and an embryo is transferred to the uterus. IUI is simpler and cheaper, but suitable only when at least one fallopian tube is open and the sample quality is sufficient.

How many IUI cycles should we try?

We usually recommend three to four cycles; if pregnancy is not achieved, we consider together a move to IVF.

Can IUI be done with donor sperm?

Yes. We offer insemination with a donor from our sperm bank, including for single women.

How long do I need to stay in Batumi?

Usually a few days around the time of ovulation: the insemination itself takes about ten minutes, and the early monitoring can be done at home.

How do I prepare for IUI?

2–5 days of abstinence before the sample is given, follicle monitoring at the start of the cycle (can be done at home), a tubal patency test and a semen analysis before the first cycle.

The information on this page is general and does not replace personal medical advice. The decision on the type of procedure is made after examination and consultation with our treating doctor, and results depend on individual factors.
