How much does artificial insemination cost in Guadalajara?

At Fertilidad Integral Guadalajara, we understand that starting a fertility treatment is an important decision, both emotionally and financially. One of the most accessible and effective options is intrauterine insemination (IUI), also known as artificial insemination. In this guide, we explain in detail what it is, how it works, how much it costs in Guadalajara, and in which cases it is recommended compared to in vitro fertilization (IVF).

What is intrauterine insemination?

Intrauterine insemination is a low-complexity assisted reproduction treatment. It consists of placing a previously selected and prepared sperm sample directly into the woman’s uterus, close to the fallopian tubes, at the optimal time of ovulation. The goal is to facilitate the encounter between the egg and sperm, reducing natural obstacles and increasing the chances of pregnancy.

Phases of the procedure

Although each case is personalized, intrauterine insemination generally follows these steps:

- Initial consultation and tests: medical history, ultrasound, and lab work.
selection and concentration of the best-quality sperm.
- Cycle monitoring: using ovulation kits, ultrasounds, or medications to determine the exact moment of ovulation.
- Insemination: introduction of the sample into the uterus through a thin catheter.
- Pregnancy test: approximately two weeks later, a blood test is performed to confirm the presence of the hCG hormone.

How much does artificial insemination cost in Guadalajara?

At Fertilidad Integral Guadalajara, the price of intrauterine insemination is $17,000 MXN, which includes:

a) Cycle monitoring
b) Insemination procedure
c) Preparation of the sperm sample (donated or not)

Important: This cost does not include medications, which average $7,000 MXN and can range from $5,000 to $15,000 MXN depending on the patient and lab tests.

Therefore, the total estimated cost per artificial insemination cycle in Guadalajara ranges between $17,000 and $22,000 MXN.

When is artificial insemination recommended?

IUI is an ideal alternative in the following scenarios:

- Young women with mild ovulation problems.
- Couples with unexplained infertility.
- Cases where the male factor is mild (sperm with reduced motility but still usable).
- Women who want to conceive with donor sperm.

It is an outpatient, simple technique, without surgery, and with immediate recovery.

Results and expectations

The success rates of artificial insemination depend on the patient’s age and sperm quality. In general:

- Women under 35: 15–20% success per cycle.
- Women over 38: success rates decrease and IVF may be more advisable.

Since pregnancy does not always occur on the first attempt, several cycles are often recommended before moving to more complex techniques.

Differences between IVF and artificial insemination

For couples of women seeking to start a family, there are different assisted reproduction options. Each has specific characteristics that make them more suitable depending on circumstances and personal wishes.

Fertility treatment comparison:

- Biological participation: In both IVF and IUI, only one woman is biologically involved per cycle.
- Complexity: IVF is a high-complexity procedure, while IUI is low-complexity.
- Approximate cost: IVF costs around $125,000 MXN per cycle, whereas IUI ranges between $17,000 and $22,000 MXN.
- Success rates: IVF achieves around 50–55% per cycle, while IUI averages 15–20%.
- Duration of the process: IVF takes 2–3 months; IUI takes 2–4 weeks.
- Requirements: IVF requires good ovarian reserve and a healthy uterus; IUI requires ovulation and a healthy uterus.

IVF with own eggs:

- Advantage: Direct process with only one woman medically involved.
