Psychological Pressure of IVF on Parents
IVF is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which is a way for many couples to achieve their reproductive aspirations. However, in the process of IVF, parents may face a lot of psychological pressure.
First, the uncertainty in IVF process may bring anxiety and tension. IVF needs a series of medical examinations and treatments, but it is not guaranteed to be successful. Parents often worry about whether their physical condition is suitable for IVF and whether the whole process can be carried out smoothly.
Secondly, IVF may bring great hopes and expectations to parents. Due to the inability to conceive naturally, parents may place all their hopes on IVF. They may expect IVF babies to be born smoothly, bringing a new starting point for life. However, if IVF fails or has complications, parents may feel disappointed and depressed.
Finally, the process of IVF may have an impact on the relationship between couples. Couples may have experienced infertility for a long time before IVF, which has brought some pressure to their relationship. In the process of IVF, couples need to support and understand each other. If the psychological pressure is too high, it may impact the relationship between husband and wife.

Test tube babies need to go through a series of medical examinations and treatment, and these costs are considerable. First of all, we need to pay for the initial examination of IVF, including physical examination, blood examination, etc. Next, we need to pay for assisted reproductive technology, such as in vitro fertilization and IVF embryo transfer. In addition, for some unqualified embryos, multiple attempts of IVF may be required, which will further increase economic pressure.

Compared with private hospitals, the cost will be relatively low. Secondly, some regions or countries provide medical subsidies or welfare policies for IVF, and parents can understand and apply for corresponding subsidies. In addition, some medical institutions can also provide installment payment to help parents share the economic pressure.
In addition, parents can also reduce the financial pressure of IVF by purchasing medical insurance. Some insurance companies provide infertility insurance, which can partially or fully pay the medical expenses of IVF. Parents can choose suitable insurance products according to their own conditions.
