Can anyone provide a cost overview?

[two]

We are weighing up known donors vs. unknown donors. While I know there are many other issues, other than cost, that's one thing that I can't seem to get a feeling of. If we were to use donor sperm (approx $200 per straw) and IUI insemination (not sure on cost) approximately how much per insemination? And is that one insemination per month?

We're really quite clueless in this area, as we were originally going down the known donor/ home insemination route, so spent a lot of time researching that.

I welcome any thoughts

I can only take it from our costs, we paid $1000 per cycle. That was $200 donor sperm + prep fee, and $800 cycle management + IUI procedure.

Some pay a little bit less and others pay more I think. Best to ask your clinic though because fee's can vary so much.

I also paid around $1000 per cycle but my costs were the reverse... $900 for the donor sperm (USA) and about $90 (Out Of Pocket) for the cycle management/meds/procedure.
Also a once-off registration of about $450.

Ours was completely different again.
We are from Qld and our fees were higher than both Leasha and Shades so I guess it really depends on which clinic you go through.
These prices are from the beginning of last year, before the Medicare price hike, so not entirely accurate for right now.
The sperm cost $1060 per straw and the Insemination cost $1200 (got 80% back of Insemination cost once threshold was reached) and we also had to pay a once off registraion fee of $450. So due to these costs we only did 1 Insemination per month.

I'm also in WA, but mine ended up being about $900 ish all together every month
