Cost and cycle of third-generation IVF
The third generation IVF is an assisted reproductive technology, which helps couples who are difficult to conceive in a natural way realize their reproductive dreams by completing in vitro fertilization and embryo culture, and then implanting the embryo into the mother. However, the cost and cycle of this technology vary for many factors. The costs and cycles of the three generations of IVF will be described in detail in terms of technical costs, drug costs, cycle length and hospital selection.
Technical expenses
The technical costs of the third generation IVF mainly include the costs of the medical team, laboratory operation costs and equipment costs. Usually, the technical cost is between 100000 and 300000 yuan. This fee will also fluctuate according to regional differences, hospital level, doctor experience and other factors. For example, in some first-class hospitals, technology costs may be higher than other hospitals. In addition, choosing private hospitals may cost more than public hospitals.
However, some hospitals will also provide the so-called "package service" of IVF at a lower cost, including the probability of multiple IVF. This service is usually unrelated to medical insurance and requires additional payment.
In addition, the cost of some OTC drugs and medical supplies needs to be borne separately.
Drug expenses
A series of ovulation promoting drugs need to be used in the process of third-generation IVF to increase the number of eggs that can be harvested. These drugs are used before the egg retrieval cycle and need to be observed by doctors in hospital. The drug cost is a part of the total cost of IVF, usually between 20000 and 50000.
In addition, after taking eggs, some drugs and nutrients related to embryo culture are also needed to maintain the growth and development of embryos. The cost of these drugs is low, usually between 1000 and 2000 yuan.
Cycle length
The cycle length of three generations of IVF varies with individual differences. Generally, a complete cycle includes preparation cycle, egg retrieval cycle, embryo culture and transfer cycle. The preparation cycle is mainly to adjust the endocrine of patients through oral contraceptives or other drugs, and prepare for the egg retrieval cycle. The length of the egg retrieval cycle is usually 10-14 days, the embryo culture cycle is generally 3-5 days, and the transfer cycle is usually within one week after the end of embryo culture.
The whole cycle usually takes 1 to 2 months. However, in some cases, the cycle length may be extended, such as the need for multiple egg retrieval to obtain enough healthy eggs, or the need to freeze and preserve embryos.
Hospital selection
The choice of hospitals also has a certain impact on the cost and cycle of third-generation IVF babies. First class hospitals usually have advanced equipment and technology, but the cost is relatively high. However, if you choose some medium level hospitals, the cost may be lower, but the technical level and service quality may be reduced.
Therefore, when choosing a hospital, couples should consider the hospital's reputation, success rate, service quality and cost.
summary
The cost and cycle of three generations of IVF babies vary due to various factors. Technical cost, drug cost, cycle length and hospital selection will all affect the cost. When considering the third generation of IVF, couples should fully understand the relevant information and make wise choices according to their own actual conditions.
