What expenses should Shanghai IVF pay
As an assisted reproductive technology, IVF has become the hope of many infertile couples to realize their reproductive dreams. In Shanghai, there are many well-known hospitals providing IVF services, including East China Hospital, Ruijin Hospital, etc. The cost of IVF is an important issue that couples pay attention to. Here are four aspects of the cost of IVF in Shanghai.
Hospital diagnosis cost
Before IVF, the couple needs to go to the hospital for a comprehensive physical assessment and diagnosis to determine whether IVF is suitable. This process usually involves a large number of inspection items, such as menstrual cycle monitoring, endocrine inspection, systematic inspection, etc. Different hospitals will have different charging standards, depending on individual circumstances.
In addition, in order to obtain a more accurate assessment and diagnosis, couples may need to carry out a series of auxiliary examinations, such as semen analysis of the man, tubal patency examination of the woman, etc. The cost of these inspections shall also be borne by ourselves.
Process cost of IVF
The IVF process includes several links, and each link will incur certain costs. The first is the cost of ovulation promoting drugs, which will be used to promote female ovarian development and follicle maturation. The second is the cost of egg retrieval, which is a minimally invasive surgery process and requires professional doctors to operate. In addition, there are costs for embryo culture, embryo transfer and other links.
In the short term, IVF may need multiple embryo transfers to increase the success rate of pregnancy. Each embryo transfer needs to pay a certain fee, including the cost of embryo freezing and preservation for future use.
Auxiliary technology cost
In addition to the basic cost of IVF process, some auxiliary technologies will also increase the cost. For example, if couples need to freeze their sperm and eggs, there will be additional costs. In addition, if embryo gene testing or gender screening is required in the process of IVF, it will also increase costs.
There are also some technical operations that need to be carried out under special circumstances, such as implantation aids, ultramicro implantation, etc., which will also incur additional costs. Therefore, when choosing IVF, couples need to fully communicate with doctors, understand the details of all costs, and make a comprehensive budget.
other expenses
In addition to the above related medical expenses, couples also need to consider other indirect expenses. For example, because IVF babies need to be carried out at a specific time, they may need to ask for leave or adjust their working hours, which may cause economic losses. In addition, in the process of IVF, it may be necessary to purchase auxiliary drugs or supplements, which also costs money.
In general, the costs of IVF include hospital diagnosis costs, IVF process costs, auxiliary technology costs and other indirect costs. These costs vary from hospital to hospital and from person to person. Couples need to have a comprehensive budget and understanding when choosing IVF. Only when they are fully prepared, can couples successfully carry out IVF surgery and realize the arrival of healthy babies.
