At Cryos we include a complete home insemination kit when you order donor sperm for home use. This means you only pay for the donor sperm, making the cost of home insemination cheaper than other fertility treatments.

What does home insemination cost?
For home insemination, we recommend ordering two ICI or two IUI MOT10 straws. The cost of one straw starts at $599. Shipping in the US ranges from $50 for a local pick-up in Orlando to $370 for Saturday delivery. If you order a large (12-day) nitrogen tank (keeping the sperm frozen for a longer time), there is an additional $50 charge. The shipment contains all the necessary instructions and procedures, the summary of records, and an at-home insemination kit.

Cost of home insemination compared to other types of fertility treatment
Home insemination is one of the cheapest methods of artificial insemination. As the procedure is performed at home by yourself or a partner, you only pay for the sperm and shipping, not a doctor performing the insemination. The cost of shipping is the same across all treatments, starting from $50 for pick-up at one of our facilities, or from $125 for shipping within the US (international shipping is more expensive).

Home insemination vs IUI treatment
The price for one round of IUI treatment often ranges from $300 to $1,000 and depends on whether you need monitoring and/or take fertility medication. We recommend ordering one MOT10 IUI straw for IUI treatment. Therefore, the cost spent on donor sperm is lower for IUI than for home insemination. However, one round of IUI treatment will often rise to more than $300, meaning that the collected cost of IUI with donor sperm will often be higher than the cost of home insemination.

Choosing the right fertility treatment for you
If you never experienced problems with your fertility, we recommend that you consider choosing home insemination or IUI treatment, as they are the least invasive and cheapest ways to get pregnant. If you have a history of fertility problems, we recommend consulting a doctor to create a plan for your path to parenthood.
Choosing between home insemination or IUI
Home insemination and IUI treatment are very similar. Therefore, many people find it difficult to choose the treatment to proceed. Here are three things you should consider when choosing between home insemination and IUI:
- Cost of treatment: If you want to minimize the costs used for fertility treatment, you should consider choosing home insemination.
- Success rate: The IUI success rate is slightly higher than home insemination. As a result, you should consider whether you prefer a treatment type that may save you from extra treatment cycles. Read more about success rates for home insemination here.
- How you want to begin your journey towards parenthood: Home insemination takes place in the comfort of your own home. Many of our customers choose home insemination, as a doctor´s office or a hospital can feel a bit cold and uncomfortable - feelings you want to avoid on your path to parenthood.

FAQ about the cost of home insemination
How much does it cost to get inseminated at home?
At-home insemination starts at $1,348, which includes the recommended number of sperm straws, shipping (pick-up at one of our facilities), and the equipment needed to perform the insemination.
How effective is home insemination?
Home insemination is slightly less effective than IUI treatment. The chance of a positive pregnancy test from a single round of IUI treatment is 18% per cycle. The insemination should occur during your ovulation, as this is the time when chances of success are highest. Therefore, we recommend tracking your ovulation a couple of months before planning the insemination to ensure that you know when your ovulation is going to occur. Follow the link to read about the success rate of home insemination.
Can I use IUI for at-home insemination?
No, IUI cannot be performed at home. Only trained medical professionals are allowed to perform IUI treatment.
