Is the cost of third generation IVF related to age?

The third-generation IVF technology is an assisted reproductive technology that can help couples who cannot conceive naturally achieve their reproductive aspirations. However, many people have doubts about the cost of three generations of IVF. Is it related to age? The following will be elaborated from several aspects.

1. Medical examination expenses

Before the third generation of IVF, couples need to carry out a series of physical examinations to ensure that their physical conditions are suitable for IVF. These medical examination fees include basic blood examination, ultrasonic examination, etc. The cost of physical examination is related to age, because the older the age is, the change of health status may lead to the need for additional physical examination items, thus increasing the cost.

In addition, some hospitals also require couples to carry out psychological counseling and genetic counseling. These fees are usually fixed, regardless of age.

2. IVF surgery expenses

IVF surgery is the most important part of the three generations of IVF, and the cost includes egg collection and embryo transfer. These costs are related to age, because the older the woman is, the lower the egg quality may be, and more egg collection times are needed to increase the costs.

In addition, some couples may need to store frozen embryos for future use. This will also increase the cost, regardless of age.

3. Drug expenses

A large number of drugs need to be used in the process of third-generation IVF, including controlling female ovulation, promoting follicle growth, and preventing ovulation. The drug cost is usually based on the type and dosage of drugs required by the patient, regardless of age.

However, the older women are, the lower their ovulation function may be, and more drugs are needed to stimulate ovulation, thus increasing costs.

4. Follow up expenses

After the success of the third generation IVF operation, the couple may need to continue to pay some follow-up costs, such as gynecological examination after embryo transfer, pregnancy monitoring, etc. These fees are age independent.

To sum up, there is a certain relationship between the cost of three generations of IVF and age. The older you are, the more physical examination items, egg collection times and drug use may be required, thus increasing costs. However, not all fees are age related. Some fees are fixed and not age related. Therefore, the couple should consult the doctor before deciding to carry out the third generation IVF to understand the specific cost.
