IUI Clinics in Canada
Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is often a first-line fertility treatment because it is less invasive and lower cost than IVF. We list 76 Canadian fertility clinics offering IUI — used both for couples experiencing infertility and for single parents by choice and same-sex couples using donor sperm. IUI typically costs $400 to $1,500 per cycle (excluding donor sperm and medications), with success rates of 10 to 20 percent per cycle depending on age and underlying factors. Most clinics recommend trying 3 to 6 cycles before escalating to IVF. Quebec is the only province that funds multiple IUI cycles for eligible residents.
What to look for in a IUI clinic
- Experience with both natural-cycle and stimulated IUI protocols
- Comfort working with donor sperm (international and known donors)
- Clear pricing for monitoring, the IUI procedure itself, and any required medications
- Flexibility for early-morning or weekend monitoring appointments
- Clear escalation criteria — when to consider moving to IVF

How many IUI cycles should I try before IVF?▼
