Embryo culture requires the use of special culture media and culture equipment, and requires professional laboratory technicians to operate and monitor, so the cost is high.

Finally, embryo implantation fee. When the embryo reaches the proper development stage, it needs to be implanted into the female uterus. This process requires the use of professional equipment and technology, and requires doctors to operate, so it will also increase costs.
