What is the difference between IVF and natural pregnancy in the United States? 1. Way of birth
In vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer (ET) are artificial assisted reproductive methods. The specific operation is to combine female eggs and male sperm in the laboratory, and after cultivation and screening, high-quality embryos will be implanted into the female uterus to achieve the purpose of pregnancy. Natural pregnancy comes from natural pregnancy through sexual behavior.
IVF needs medical technology intervention and manual operation to achieve pregnancy and pregnancy. And natural pregnancy is through normal sexual life, without any external assistance in the case of natural pregnancy.
The primary difference between IVF and natural pregnancy is the difference in fertility pathway.
2. Disease treatment
IVF is often used as an assisted reproductive technology to solve some fertility problems, such as infertility. Through IVF technology, we can bypass the birth barrier and help couples who cannot conceive naturally realize their dreams of childbirth.
However, natural pregnancy does not require these medical treatments. As long as the couple is physiologically normal, they can usually successfully conceive naturally.
Therefore, the difference between IVF and natural pregnancy in disease treatment is mainly reflected in the need for medical technology intervention.
3. Success rate
IVF technology can greatly improve the fertility success rate of infertile couples. According to the data of American Fertility Technology Laboratory (ART) in 2018, the success rate of test tube babies in the United States is about 39%. The success rate of natural pregnancy varies from individual to individual, but is usually far lower than that of IVF.
The success rate of IVF is mainly affected by many factors, such as female age, egg and sperm quality, uterine health, etc. In contrast, the success rate of natural pregnancy is relatively low, because natural pregnancy does not screen high-quality embryos, and the growth of women's age will lead to decreased fertility.
Therefore, the success rate of IVF is significantly higher than that of natural pregnancy.
4. Cost and economic pressure
The treatment of IVF requires a series of medical examinations and drug treatment, so the cost is relatively high. According to the statistics of the American Association for Reproductive Technology (SART), the average cost of test tube babies in the United States is about 25000 to 30000 dollars, which does not include drug costs.
In contrast, the costs of natural pregnancy mainly involve routine costs such as pre pregnancy examination, health care during pregnancy and childbirth, without additional medical costs. Therefore, the economic pressure of natural pregnancy is relatively small.
From an economic perspective, IVF is more expensive than natural pregnancy, which may bring greater economic pressure to families.
summary
To sum up, there are obvious differences between IVF and natural pregnancy in the United States in terms of birth path, disease treatment, success rate, cost and economic pressure.
IVF needs artificial technology to achieve pregnancy and embryo transfer, which is often used to treat infertility; Natural pregnancy comes from normal sexual life.
The success rate of IVF is high, which can help infertile couples realize their reproductive dreams, but the high cost will bring some economic pressure to families. The success rate of natural pregnancy is relatively low, but the economic pressure is low.
Therefore, both husband and wife need to choose their own reproductive mode according to their own conditions and needs.
