What is IVF

IVF is a process in which the fertilized eggs are cultured into embryos in the laboratory through assisted reproductive technology (ART), and then the embryos are transferred to the mother's uterus for pregnancy. The IVF technology was first successfully applied to clinical practice by Robert Geoffrey Edwards and Patrick Steptoe from the UK in 1978. Since then, IVF technology has been widely used as a fertility option for infertile couples.

Cost composition of IVF

The cost of IVF surgery mainly includes the following aspects:

1. In vitro fertilization cost: In vitro fertilization is one of the core steps of IVF, including egg and sperm collection, laboratory operation, embryo culture, etc. This part of the cost usually accounts for about 50% of the total cost.

2. Doctor and nurse costs: including doctor's diagnosis and operation costs, as well as doctor's guidance and care during the operation.

3. Drug costs: A certain amount of hormones and other auxiliary drugs are required in the process of IVF, which usually account for about 30% of the total cost.

4. Other expenses: including examination fees, surgical treatment fees, anesthesia fees, etc.

Basic cost of IVF

The basic cost of IVF varies from hospital to hospital. Take some well-known hospitals in China for example, the basic cost of IVF is usually between 80000 yuan and 150000 yuan. The basic expenses here include the above-mentioned IVF expenses, doctor and nurse expenses, and drug expenses.

It should be noted that this is only the basic cost of IVF. For different cases and individuals, some auxiliary examinations and treatments may be required, and these additional costs will be calculated separately.

Other possible expenses

In addition to basic expenses, other expenses may be incurred during IVF:

1. Frozen embryo cost: If multiple embryos are obtained during in vitro fertilization, but only one or several embryos are transferred, the remaining embryos can be frozen. The cost of frozen embryos is usually between 10000 yuan and 20000 yuan per year.

2. Embryo transfer costs: extra costs are required to transfer the cultured embryos into the mother's uterus.

3. Cost of prenatal examination during pregnancy: After the success of IVF, prenatal examination during pregnancy is also required, and the cost of this part depends on the specific hospital and case.

Summary

To sum up, the costs of IVF mainly include in vitro fertilization costs, doctor and nurse costs, drug costs and other costs. The basic cost is usually between 80000 yuan and 150000 yuan. In addition, there may be additional costs such as frozen embryo costs, embryo transfer costs and prenatal examination costs during pregnancy. The cost of IVF varies from hospital to individual.
