IVF - How to choose a suitable IVF scheme?
IVF is an assisted reproductive technology that can help couples who cannot conceive naturally realize their reproductive dreams. It is very important to choose a suitable IVF program, because different programs will have different effects on fertility success rate, cost and personal health. The following will elaborate on how to select a suitable IVF scheme from four aspects: hospital selection, cost budget, technical level and personal needs.
Hospital selection
When choosing the IVF scheme, it is very important to choose a formal and reliable hospital. There are many famous IVF hospitals in Shanghai, such as Zhongshan Hospital, Shanghai Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, etc.
First of all, we should choose a hospital with good reputation. We can learn about the reputation of the hospital by asking friends who are receiving IVF treatment, consulting the hospital's official website and consulting professionals.
Secondly, the selection of hospital depends on whether the equipment and technology of the hospital are advanced, and whether the specialist is experienced. You can learn about the doctor's background and work experience through the hospital's official website or by making an appointment for outpatient consultation.
Finally, when choosing a hospital, consider the distance from home and the convenience of transportation. Because the IVF treatment cycle is long, it needs to go to the hospital frequently for inspection and operation.
Expense budget
The cost of IVF is an important factor to consider, because IVF treatment usually requires a certain amount of time and money.
First of all, please make a reasonable budget according to your own economic situation, and consider the costs of diagnosis and treatment, medicine, surgery and follow-up care.
Secondly, you can consult with many hospitals to understand the price difference of different hospitals and choose a scheme suitable for your economic ability. Some hospitals will provide some preferential policies or installment payment options, and can communicate with the hospital.
Finally, we should also pay attention to some extra costs beyond the budget, such as transportation costs, accommodation costs, etc., which also need to be considered in advance.
technical level
The level of technology used in different IVF protocols will also affect the choice. The following aspects need to be considered:
First, we should understand the level of assisted reproductive technology in hospitals, including in vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer technology. You can learn about the technical strength of the hospital by consulting the hospital information or professionals.
Secondly, it is necessary to consider whether the hospital has a personalized treatment plan for personal conditions. Different couples may have different fertility problems, and personalized programs can improve the pertinence of treatment and the success rate.
Finally, we should understand the success rate and relevant data of the hospital. You can consult the hospital, or search the scientific research achievements and clinical data of the hospital, to understand the performance of its IVF program in the fertility success rate.
Personal needs
The last aspect is to choose the IVF scheme according to individual needs. Personal needs include age requirements for children, willingness to use or donate sperm, and preference for embryo selection.
First of all, the age requirement for children is an important consideration. Some couples hope that the higher the success rate of IVF is, the better. They are willing to choose young eggs and sperm.
Secondly, whether to adopt or donate sperm is an individual decision. If necessary, you can consult the hospital about the policies and procedures of sperm donation.
Finally, the preference for embryo selection is also part of individual needs. Some couples may wish to choose healthy embryos, while others may wish to choose gender.
Summary

Hospital reputation, equipment and technical level should be considered when selecting hospitals; The cost budget should be reasonable according to the economic situation and hospital prices; The technical level should understand the level of assisted reproductive technology of the hospital and personalized treatment plan for individuals; Personal needs include age requirements for children, willingness to use or donate sperm, and preference for embryo selection.
