With more and more technology applied to reproduction, in vitro fertilization is no longer a novelty, and there are more and more cases of in vitro fertilization. More and more couples are obtaining their dream babies through in vitro fertilization. Many women who were unable to conceive naturally have now given birth to healthy babies through in vitro fertilization. So how much does IVF cost?
1、 How much does IVF cost
Many people have a misconception about in vitro fertilization, thinking that it is a baby that grows up in a test tube. In fact, in vitro fertilization technology is a surgical method that involves extracting several eggs from the ovaries, allowing them to combine with the male sperm in the laboratory to form an embryo, and then transferring the embryo to the uterus for implantation and pregnancy in the mother's uterus. The cost of in vitro fertilization generally includes two major parts.
1. The cost of ovulation inducing drugs
Due to the differences in the use of imported and domestically produced drugs, there can be significant cost differences ranging from 3000-20000 yuan, with a general cost of around 5000-10000 yuan. In addition, the older the age, the larger the dosage, and the higher the cost.
2. Surgical and laboratory operation costs
The cost of this part varies depending on different treatment methods. Usually around 10000 yuan. The total cost ranges from over 10000 to over 30000 yuan.
The cost of in vitro fertilization (IVF) includes medication and surgical expenses. Due to the high cost of ovulation inducing drugs and the high external conditions required for egg fertilization and embryo development, the cost of performing an IVF procedure is also relatively high. Therefore, if infertile couples want to have in vitro fertilization, in addition to meeting their own requirements, they also need to consider their own economic strength. Due to the different doses of medication used by each patient, the cost required for each IVF case also varies. Generally speaking, young and ovarian responsive patients have a higher chance of success and require slightly lower costs.
2、 Cost breakdown of in vitro fertilization
1. Preoperative examination. Generally, before undergoing in vitro fertilization treatment, both spouses need to undergo preoperative examinations to exclude diseases that are not suitable for in vitro fertilization, such as infectious diseases and diseases that are not suitable for the female partner's pregnancy, which costs approximately 1000-2000 yuan.
2. The cost of medication for in vitro fertilization. IVF involves extracting the female's egg through medication to induce ovulation, so typically 20-40 doses of ovulation inducing drugs are used. In addition to the previously used anti ovulation drugs, the total cost is 9000-15000 yuan.
3. The cost of egg retrieval, cultivation, and transplantation for in vitro fertilization, as well as the need to freeze and preserve any excess good embryos, is approximately 10000 yuan. If single sperm injection (ICSI) is performed, an additional fee of about 2000 yuan is required. In this way, the total cost of the three parts is approximately between 20000 and 30000 yuan.
3、 Factors affecting the price of in vitro fertilization
1. Inspection fee
Before undergoing in vitro fertilization, doctors will arrange a comprehensive examination to determine whether both partners have any diseases that may affect the success rate of in vitro fertilization. The cost is around 10000 yuan.
2. Ovulation induction cost
Before undergoing IVF surgery, doctors will use ovulation inducing drugs to achieve the goal of releasing multiple eggs. There are domestic and imported ovulation inducing drugs, and the cost of different ovulation inducing drugs varies greatly, ranging from 15000-20000 yuan to 30000-40000 yuan.
3. Cost of IVF surgery
IVF is divided into first, second, and third generations, and doctors will decide which technology to use based on the situation of both partners. The cost of different technologies varies.
4. The cost of treating diseases that affect in vitro fertilization.
Some women suffer from diseases that affect the success rate of IVF, such as intrauterine adhesions, chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, salpingitis, etc., and require additional treatment before undergoing IVF surgery.
Through the introduction in this article, it can be known that the cost of in vitro fertilization is approximately 30000 yuan. If you are a woman who cannot conceive naturally, then you can use in vitro fertilization to give birth to your own child, which can help you successfully obtain the baby you want.
