The Artificial Insemination Process


First things first - let's talk about what happens when you come to see us. You'll start with booking your first appointment, and please bring any previous test results you have. We want to understand your unique situation and why you might be having trouble conceiving.


The initial testing phase involves several important screenings we do right here in our office. We'll need to do an ultrasound, some blood work, an ECG, a urine test, a pap smear, and a small womb biopsy. I know it sounds like a lot, but each test helps us understand your body better! We'll also check your partner's sperm count. Here's a breakdown of these costs in JMD:

  • The blood work is $25,000

  • Ultrasound runs $7,500

  • ECG is $5,000

  • Urine test is $1,500

  • Pap smear costs $6,000

  • Womb biopsy is $75,000

  • And the sperm count analysis is $35,000


There are also two tests we'll need you to do at outside facilities - a hysterosalpingogram and an abdominal/pelvic ultrasound.


Now, here's where it gets interesting! Before the procedure, both you and your partner will go through a cleansing phase. You'll follow a special diet of just fruits and vegetables - think of it as preparing your body for this amazing journey!


When it comes to timing the procedure, we'll either work with your natural ovulation cycle or we can help induce ovulation if needed. Don't worry if you have low egg count or if your partner has a low sperm count - this process can still work beautifully!


After the procedure, we'll see you weekly for about 4 weeks to check if you're pregnant. If 5 weeks pass without success, we can try again. But if it works - celebration time! 🎉 You'll stay with our antenatal clinic throughout your pregnancy journey until delivery.


The full procedure typically costs $250,000 per attempt, but guess what? We currently have a special promotional price of $120,000!
