In vitro fertilization (IVF) has a higher cost than artificial insemination (AI), as it requires more intervention by specialists.
In IUI, the semen simply has to be processed in the laboratory and introduced into the uterus, which can be done in the gynecological office itself.

In addition, the cost of medicines and necessary material is also much higher than in IUI.
