Cost and cycle of IVF
IVF is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which helps couples who cannot conceive naturally due to infertility to realize their reproductive dreams. The cost and cycle of this technology vary from case to case and are affected by many factors, such as age, physical condition, and possible complications during treatment. This article will introduce the cost and cycle of IVF from the basic cost, additional cost, treatment cycle and real hospitals.
1、 Basic expenses
The basic expenses of IVF include diagnosis fees, IVF operation fees and embryo transfer fees. The diagnosis fee is used for physical examination and relevant tests of both the husband and wife to confirm the cause of infertility. The operation cost of IVF is the charge for IVF, culture, embryo screening and other operation processes of IVF. The cost of embryo transfer refers to the cost of implanting the cultured embryo into the mother's uterus.
The basic cost varies from hospital, region and country, generally between 10000 yuan and 30000 yuan. For example, the basic cost of a professional reproductive hospital in Beijing is about 20000 yuan. The basic cost can cover most IVF treatment processes, but does not include additional costs.
2、 Additional costs
Additional cost refers to the extra cost for some special conditions that may occur during IVF treatment. These expenses include medicine expenses, auxiliary technology expenses and adverse reaction handling expenses.
Drug cost refers to the cost of drugs used to promote follicular development and embryo transfer. Depending on individual circumstances, some women may need to use more ovulation promoting drugs, and the cost will increase accordingly. Auxiliary technology fee refers to the application of some auxiliary technologies, such as embryo cryopreservation or PGD (Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis), which requires additional payment. Adverse reaction treatment fee refers to the additional medical expenses caused by complications or adverse reactions during the treatment process.
3、 Treatment cycle
The IVF treatment cycle usually requires multiple cycles to succeed. The length of each cycle is about 4 to 6 weeks. The first cycle is usually used for diagnosis and related tests, and to determine the next treatment plan. Subsequent cycles include in vitro fertilization, embryo culture and embryo transfer. If the pregnancy is successful, the pregnancy test and appropriate prenatal examination should be carried out, otherwise the next cycle of treatment can be continued.
The duration of the entire treatment cycle can vary depending on individual conditions and treatment progress. Generally speaking, the treatment cycle takes 3 months to 1 year, but it may take longer. It should be noted that not everyone can succeed in IVF, and it is also possible to stop halfway or try again.
4、 The real hospital
There are many well-known hospitals in China that provide IVF technology, including Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Shanghai Changhai Hospital, Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center, etc. These hospitals have rich clinical experience and professional medical teams, which can provide a full range of IVF services for infertile couples.
In summary, the cost and cycle of IVF vary from case to case. The basic expenses include diagnosis fees, IVF operation fees and embryo transfer fees, while the additional expenses include medicine fees, auxiliary technology fees and adverse reaction handling fees. The treatment cycle usually requires multiple cycles to succeed, and needs to go through multiple stages, such as in vitro fertilization, embryo culture and embryo transfer. Among the real hospitals, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Shanghai Changhai Hospital and Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center provide professional IVF technical services.
