How high is the cost of three generations of IVF?
The third generation IVF technology is an assisted reproductive technology, which is designed to help couples who cannot conceive naturally achieve their reproductive aspirations. However, the cost of this technology cannot be ignored.

In order to reduce drug costs, couples can consult their doctors to find out whether there are alternative drugs to choose from, and take the correct medication methods to avoid waste. In addition, you can also select the drug with the highest cost performance ratio by referring to the prices of multiple pharmacies when purchasing drugs.
Cost of assisted pregnancy
