Frequently Asked Questions – IUI Cost in Bangalore 2026
1. What is the cost of IUI in Bangalore?
At Janisthaa, the IUI procedure costs ₹8,000, and a complete cycle with scans, trigger injection and medicines costs ₹10,500–21,000. Across Bangalore, IUI usually costs ₹7,000–25,000 per cycle, depending on medicines and monitoring.
2. Is the IUI cost per cycle or for the full treatment?
IUI is priced per cycle. Each attempt includes monitoring, the trigger and the insemination. Most couples plan for up to 3 cycles, which is about ₹31,500–63,000 in total at Janisthaa.
3. What is the cost of IUI with injections?
IUI with ovulation injections (gonadotropins) costs about ₹15,000–26,000 per cycle at Janisthaa, because the injections and extra monitoring scans add to the ₹8,000 procedure fee. Many women only need low-cost tablets, which keeps the cycle at ₹10,500–21,000.
4. How much does donor sperm IUI cost in Bangalore?
Donor sperm IUI at Janisthaa costs ₹15,000–25,000 per cycle, including donor sperm from a licensed ART bank. Medicines are extra if needed.
5. What is the success rate of IUI?
IUI success is generally 15–20% per cycle for women under 35, falling with age. Success builds up over cycles, and most IUI pregnancies happen within the first 3 attempts.
6. How many IUI cycles should I try before IVF?
Most specialists advise up to 3 IUI cycles. If you’re over 38, have low AMH or have blocked tubes, Dr Shwetha may advise moving to IVF sooner.
7. Is IUI cheaper than IVF?
Yes. A full IUI cycle costs ₹10,500–21,000, while IVF at Janisthaa starts from ₹1,00,000 plus medicines. IVF has a higher success rate per cycle, so the right choice depends on your diagnosis.
8. Is IUI painful?
No. Most women feel only mild cramping for a few minutes. No anaesthesia is needed, and you can return to normal activities the same day.
9. What tests are needed before IUI, and what do they cost?
Usually a semen analysis (₹1,000 at Janisthaa), a tube test such as an HSG (about ₹2,000–5,000), AMH (about ₹1,200–2,500), a pelvic scan and thyroid tests. If you have recent reports, they may not need repeating. Costs vary from patient to patient.
10. Is IUI covered by insurance in India?
Some policies cover fertility treatment, but coverage varies. Janisthaa provides the reports, prescriptions and itemised bills needed for a claim. Check with your insurer first.
11. Can I do IUI at home with an IUI kit?
Home insemination kits are not the same as medical IUI. In a clinic, sperm is washed in a lab and placed directly in the uterus at the exact time of ovulation, which home kits cannot do safely.
12. Can IUI result in twins?
Twins are possible, mainly when ovulation medicines produce more than one egg. Scans help reduce this risk, and the cycle may be cancelled if too many follicles grow.
13. Is a consultation needed before IUI?
Yes. A consultation confirms that IUI suits you (open tubes, adequate sperm count) and plans your medicines and scans.
14. How long after IUI can I take a pregnancy test?
Take a blood beta hCG test 14 days after IUI. Testing earlier can give a false result because of the trigger injection.
