How much does a test tube baby cost?
Test tube baby is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which is widely used to treat infertility, helping many couples realize their reproductive dreams. However, the cost of IVF is the focus of many couples. The following is a detailed description of how much a test tube baby needs from four aspects: hospital selection, treatment process, medical expenses and auxiliary expenses.
Hospital selection
IVF babies need to be treated in professional reproductive hospitals, and the choice of hospitals will directly affect the cost standard. Generally speaking, well-known hospitals in large cities have strong technical strength and relatively high prices. For example, in a hospital in Beijing, the basic cost of IVF is about 30000 to 50000 yuan.
However, when choosing a hospital, we should not only look at the price, but also consider the success rate, professional level, reputation and other factors of the hospital. Some professional IVF hospitals may be expensive, but their treatment success rate is high, which is worth considering by couples.
Treatment process
The treatment process of IVF usually includes ovulation guidance, egg retrieval, fertilization and culture, embryo transfer and other links. Different treatment links will produce different costs. For example, during the ovulation guidance phase, ovulation promoting drugs are needed, and the general cost is about 2000-3000 yuan; In the egg retrieval stage, follicular puncture is required, and the cost is about 5000-10000 yuan; In the fertilization and culture stage, embryo culture and PGD (embryo gene diagnosis) and other auxiliary technologies may be required, with a cost of about 5000-10000 yuan.
There are also some necessary tests in the treatment process, such as blood routine test, blood type test, sex hormone test, etc. The cost is about 1000-2000 yuan. In addition, different couples may need different auxiliary technologies, such as frozen embryos, drug support after embryo transfer, etc., which will also incur additional costs.
medical expense
The medical expenses of IVF mainly include diagnosis fees, medicine fees, surgery fees, etc. The diagnosis fee generally varies according to the size of the hospital and the reputation of the experts, with a diagnosis fee of about 500-2000 yuan. The drug cost mainly includes ovulation guidance drugs, hormone drugs, anticoagulants, etc. The cost will vary according to the actual drugs used, generally about 1000-5000 yuan. The operation cost is mainly the cost of egg retrieval operation and embryo transfer operation. The cost will vary according to the level of hospitals and experts, generally about 5000-10000 yuan.
It should be noted that this is only the basic medical cost of IVF, and the specific cost will vary depending on individual conditions. At the same time, complications may occur during the treatment process, which requires additional treatment and expenses.
Ancillary expenses
In the process of IVF treatment, there are some auxiliary costs to be considered. For example, during the treatment period, it may be necessary to return to the hospital regularly for inspection and testing, and the costs incurred should be included. In addition, IVF treatment may require multiple attempts, but the success rate of each attempt is not high. Couples also need to consider the cost of multiple attempts.
In addition, the psychological counseling of IVF is also an important auxiliary cost. During treatment, couples may face a lot of pressure and confusion, and need the guidance and support of professional psychological consultants.
Summary
Test tube babies cost nearly 100000 to 200000 yuan at a time, and the specific cost will vary according to hospital selection, treatment process, medical expenses and auxiliary expenses. When making decisions, couples should fully consider their own economic situation, treatment success rate and professional level of doctors, and communicate with the hospital in detail before clarifying the costs and contract terms. The success of IVF is priceless for couples. I hope that every couple can realize their dream of fertility.
