What kind of funds does IVF need to invest?
IVF is a kind of assisted reproduction technology. After the fertilized egg is cultivated to a certain degree in the laboratory, the fertilized egg is implanted into the mother for pregnancy. The success rate of this technology is affected by many factors, one of which is capital investment. The following will elaborate on how to invest in IVF from four aspects.
Inspection and diagnosis costs
Before IVF, couples need to undergo a series of tests and diagnoses to determine whether it is suitable for this technology. These expenses include but are not limited to semen analysis, ovarian function examination, tubal patency examination, endometrial examination, etc. The costs of these tests and diagnoses are different, but they usually require thousands to tens of thousands of yuan.
In addition, before IVF is determined, the woman may need to undergo some different types of ultrasound examinations to assess the ovulation of the ovary and the thickness of the endometrium. These costs also need to be taken into account.
At the same time, if there are genetic potential factors such as genetic diseases that need to be considered, both spouses may need to accept genetic testing. This test is very important for developing appropriate treatment plans and genetic counseling, but the cost is high, usually around tens of thousands of yuan.
Assisted reproductive technology costs
The core of IVF is to achieve pregnancy through in vitro fertilization. This involves the cost of many technologies and equipment. The first is the cost of drugs used in the process of egg collection, which are used to promote the development of ovaries and follicles. The cost of drugs will vary according to individual circumstances, usually between thousands and tens of thousands of yuan.
The second is the cost of in vitro fertilization and fertilized egg culture. This includes the laboratory operation of IVF, the maintenance of special environment for IVF culture and the process of cryopreservation. These costs may range from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of yuan, depending on the complexity of operations, laboratory equipment and the level of medical expenses in the region.
Finally, the cost of implanting the fertilized egg into the mother after in vitro fertilization. This includes the cost of equipment and drugs used during implantation, as well as the cost of follow-up and pregnancy maintenance after implantation. These costs usually range from thousands to tens of thousands of yuan.
Additional costs and risks
There may be some additional costs and risks during IVF. For example, if you do not get enough eggs from your own or your spouse's ovaries, you may need to purchase donated eggs, which will increase additional costs. In addition, if more than one fertilized egg develops after successful fertilization, the remaining fertilized eggs can be frozen for future use. This will involve additional costs and an annual fee for cryopreservation.
summary
IVF requires considerable investment. In addition to the cost of inspection and diagnosis, the cost of assisted reproductive technology itself is very high, involving many aspects, including egg collection, in vitro fertilization, fertilized egg culture and implantation process. In addition, possible additional costs and risks need to be considered. Therefore, from an economic point of view, potential IVF parents should accurately assess and plan the related costs to ensure that they can afford the funding required for this technology.
