However, the IVF procedure is not only complex and difficult, but also involves quite high costs. This article will analyze the one-time expenditure of IVF in detail from four aspects: hospital costs, drug costs, laboratory costs and infant takeover costs.
Hospital expenses
First, the first step of IVF is to consult with a professional reproductive doctor and conduct an examination. This step usually needs to be carried out in a formal reproductive medical center, and doctors will develop personalized treatment plans according to the health status and needs of the couple. Hospital expenses usually include initial consultation expenses, fallopian tube radiography expenses, assisted reproductive technology treatment expenses, etc. According to different regions and hospital levels, the hospital cost is about 5000 to 20000 yuan.
Next is the operation cost of IVF, mainly including egg retrieval and transplantation. The egg retrieval operation needs to be carried out in a painless state, usually with local anesthesia, and the operation cost is between 10000 and 30000 yuan. The embryo transfer operation is relatively simple, usually completed within 20 minutes, and the cost is about 5000 to 10000 yuan.
In general, hospital expenses account for the majority of IVF one-time expenditures. On average, hospital expenses are about 100000 yuan.

The cost of different drugs varies from 10000 yuan to 20000 yuan.
Laboratory expenses
Laboratory expenses include those incurred in the process of in vitro fertilization and embryo culture. The cost of in vitro fertilization is mainly the cost of intrafallopian fertilization (IVF), usually between 5000 and 10000 yuan. The cost of embryo culture includes the cost of embryo incubator, culture medium, culture medium, etc., which is about 3000 to 5000 yuan.
In addition, if patients need to freeze embryos or sperm, they also need to pay for freezing. The freezing cost is usually calculated on an annual basis. According to the requirements of different hospitals and regions, the cost may be between 1000 and 2000 yuan.
Infant takeover costs
Once the IVF is successful, the couple will also have to pay for the baby takeover. This includes the birth cost, nursing cost and health care cost of the baby. According to statistics, the average cost of baby takeover is 10000 to 30000 yuan.
To sum up, the one-time expenditure of IVF mainly includes hospital costs, drug costs, laboratory costs and infant takeover costs. According to different regions and hospital levels, the total expenditure of IVF is about 150000 yuan to 200000 yuan. However, this is only a rough estimate, and the specific cost will be affected by many factors. Therefore, before IVF, couples should consult with professional reproductive doctors in detail and formulate appropriate budgets.
