IUI

She decided to try for a child on her own, initially through an IUI, but miscarried.

Michelle's journey to having two children via IUI using a sperm donor began with the end of a relationship.

She paid £1,800 for IUI using a sperm donor and became pregnant.

IUI is not routinely offered on the NHS, while the chances of qualifying for funding for IVF depends where a patient lives in the UK.
