    I don't know of many doctors that would want to take on that kind of liability. Are you and your wife doing ICI or IUI. I would suggest if you do IUI that you do it in a doctors office as while it is rather simple, that's quite a ways the tube is going and you wouldn't want to waste any of the goods, as well as risk infection. IUI at fertility specialists, at least here in Houston are about $1500-$2500 and up per cycle depending on meds. We decided to use our OBGYN and self monitor ovulation and she only charges us $200 per cycle...so maybe that would be a option.

    Sorry for the delayed response... Well I just asked our OBGYN if they do it and what the cost would be....however, her only role is the actual procedure of iui. Her office doesn't monitor ovulation, test egg creation, retest sperm, use ultrasound to look at tubes or anything... We track ovulation using OPKs, temping, and other methods....we have Fairfax mail the sperm to her office within the week we predict ovulation and then when there is a peak on the OPK, we call her office and she has us come in that day and the following day (we purchase two vials at a time and have iui done both peak days). Then we just wait. Note though that we have no known infertility issues.

    I should mention that our OBGYN did put my wife on metformin and Clomid in order to regulate her cycle and help ensure egg production...insurance covers all meds but 5 bucks a month for the Clomid.

    Have you had any luck finding someone to sign for you? We have had one baby through IVF but now our insurance changed and we are considering at home insemination. Our fertility doctor will not sign the waiver either.
