What is the cost of IVF?
IVF refers to the baby developed from embryos fertilized in vitro and implanted in the uterus through assisted reproductive technology. The cost of IVF baby rearing is high, mainly involving medical expenses, drug expenses, infant supplies expenses and education expenses. The following will elaborate on the cost of IVF from these four aspects.
medical expense
In the process of IVF, multiple medical examinations and operations are required, including physical examination, ovulation induction therapy, ovum retrieval, sperm retrieval, embryo transfer, etc. These medical expenses will vary according to the charging standards of different hospitals. Taking a top three hospital in China as an example, the medical cost of a complete IVF process is about 30000-50000 yuan. In some well-known reproductive medical centers abroad, the cost may be higher.
In addition, the success rate of IVF is not high, and many attempts are needed to succeed. Every IVF process needs to pay medical expenses, so the cost of IVF rearing also increases.
Drug expenses
In the process of IVF, some ovulation promoting drugs, anticoagulants and hormone drugs need to be used to improve the pregnancy rate. The cost of these drugs is high and varies according to the type and quantity of drugs. Taking China as an example, the drug cost for a complete IVF process is about 10000-20000 yuan.
In addition, considering the improvement of success rate and physical health, some IVF patients will also choose adjuvant treatment, such as TCM recuperation, acupuncture, etc., which will also increase drug costs.
Baby supplies
After IVF babies are born, they need to buy a series of baby products, such as milk powder, diapers, clothes, washing and nursing supplies, etc. These expenses vary according to family economic conditions and personal consumption habits. It is estimated that the cost of baby supplies per month is about 500-1000 yuan.
In addition, with the growth of infants, it is also necessary to purchase some large items such as cribs, strollers, baby seats, etc. These costs also need to be taken into account.
Education expenses
After the birth of test tube babies, with the growth of age, they also need to face the expenditure of education costs. This includes childcare fees, kindergarten fees, school education fees, training class fees, etc. The educational expenses vary according to the family's economic situation and the educational mode chosen. In China, for example, the education cost of a child from kindergarten to college may reach millions of yuan.
Taking all the above costs into consideration, the cost of IVF rearing is high, mainly involving medical expenses, drug expenses, infant supplies costs and education costs. These expenses vary according to the family's economic situation and personal consumption habits. Couples who are willing to carry out IVF should plan their economic budget in advance and make corresponding preparations.
summary
The cost of IVF is relatively high, mainly including medical expenses, drug expenses, infant supplies expenses and education expenses. Each aspect has an important impact on the cost of IVF rearing. Before deciding to carry out IVF, couples should give full consideration to their economic ability and the cost of drugs, equipment and education needed for preparation and rearing.
