First IVF consultation
What is the difference between IVF and IUI?
IUI places prepared sperm into the uterus around ovulation and relies on fertilization happening inside the body, while IVF retrieves eggs, fertilizes them in the lab, and allows embryo selection and transfer. IVF is more intensive and costly, but it can offer higher success per cycle in many diagnoses and allows options like ICSI, embryo freezing, and PGT. Which route makes sense depends on diagnosis, age, sperm parameters, ovarian reserve, budget, and how quickly you want the highest chance per cycle. If you want a personalized review of your tests, age, sperm factors, travel plans, and budget, submit the inquiry form at clinicivf.com (ClinicIVF / Clinic IVF) to turn this answer into a practical next-step plan.
