How much is the cost of two test tube babies?
Two child test tube baby refers to the process of carrying out test tube baby again through assisted reproductive technology after the couple has already had a child. Compared with the one fetus test tube baby, the two fetus test tube baby needs to solve more ethical and physiological problems, so the cost is relatively high. In the following, we will elaborate on the costs of the second child IVF in terms of medical costs, auxiliary drug costs, surgery costs and follow-up costs.
1、 Medical expenses
Prospective parents need to consider the factors of medical expenses when choosing a second child IVF hospital. Different hospitals will have different pricing, and will also develop personalized treatment plans according to the physical conditions of both spouses. Generally speaking, the medical cost of the second child IVF will be significantly higher than that of the first child IVF, because doctors need more time and energy to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of both husband and wife and formulate corresponding treatment plans.
Taking a well-known Grade III A hospital as an example, the medical expenses of the second born IVF babies roughly include the following: basic examination fees for patients, hormone examination fees, endocrine examination fees, ovarian function evaluation fees, tubal examination fees, sperm examination fees, IVF operation fees, etc. The total of these fees is about 30000 to 50000 yuan.
In addition to basic medical expenses, hospitalization and operation expenses should also be considered. Because the second born IVF babies need more operation time and follow-up, they may need to be hospitalized for observation for a period of time. The hospitalization and operation expenses are generally between 50000 yuan and 100000 yuan, depending on the hospital's pricing and the patient's specific situation.
2、 Auxiliary drug expenses
In addition to medical expenses, the second born IVF baby also needs to use adjuvant drugs to promote ovarian development and increase the probability of pregnancy. These auxiliary drugs include ovulation promoting drugs, embryo transfer preparation drugs and progesterone, which are expensive. According to the specific conditions of hospitals and patients, the cost of auxiliary drugs is roughly between 10000 yuan and 30000 yuan.
3、 Operation expenses
The operation cost of the second child IVF mainly refers to the cost of ovarian stimulation and egg retrieval. Ovarian stimulation mainly stimulates the development of follicles by injecting ovulation promoting drugs to increase the number of ovulation. The egg retrieval operation needs to be carried out in the operating room, and doctors will use professional instruments and equipment to complete the operation. The operation cost is generally between 20000 yuan and 40000 yuan according to the complexity of the hospital and the operation process.
4、 Follow up expenses
Follow up costs of second child IVF mainly include observation and testing costs after embryo transfer, drug costs and possible review costs. After embryo transfer, both husband and wife need to conduct regular observation, including blood testing, ultrasound examination, etc. In addition, medical treatment should be carried out according to the doctor's suggestions to increase the probability of pregnancy. Follow up costs vary from 10000 yuan to 30000 yuan depending on the specific conditions of hospitals and patients.
To sum up, the expenses of the second child IVF mainly include medical expenses, auxiliary drug expenses, surgery expenses and follow-up expenses. According to the specific conditions of different hospitals and patients, the total cost is roughly between 100000 yuan and 200000 yuan. It is worth noting that the cost is only a reference standard, and the specific cost needs to be determined according to the hospital's pricing and the patient's situation. In the process of selecting the second child test tube baby, both the husband and wife should fully understand the relevant costs, and consult and communicate with professional doctors to ensure their own economic and physical affordability.
