The medical expenses of IVF are the largest part of the cost. In Shanghai, there are many professional assisted reproductive hospitals, such as Ruijin Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine and Fudan University Hospital of Obstetrics and Gynecology. These hospitals provide a series of IVF services from preliminary examination to embryo transfer.
First, a series of examinations need to be carried out, including semen analysis of the man, tubal patency examination of the woman, and chromosome examination of both parties. The cost of these examinations is about 1000-3000 yuan. Then there is the cost of specific operations such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) or embryo implantation (ET), which is about 20000 to 100000 yuan. In addition, it is also necessary to decide whether to carry out embryo freezing, embryo gene screening and other auxiliary technologies according to individual conditions, and these costs also need to be paid additionally.
Therefore, from the initial inspection to the specific operation, the medical expenses of IVF in Shanghai are about 100000 to 300000 yuan.

The cost of these drugs is an important part of the economic expenditure of IVF. Generally speaking, the drug cost varies from 10000 yuan to 50000 yuan depending on individual conditions.
The high cost of drugs is mainly caused by the hormone drugs needed in the process of IVF. These drugs include ovulation promoting drugs, oxytocin, progesterone and other auxiliary drugs. The price of these drugs is relatively high, and they also need to follow the doctor's instructions.
Operation expenses
In some cases, the IVF process may require some surgery or operation to improve the probability of pregnancy.

The cost of this operation is about 1000-3000 yuan.
