Before starting IVF, couples need to conduct a comprehensive reproductive system examination to determine whether there are other problems that may lead to infertility. Common examinations include blood and urine analysis, endocrine hormone detection, ultrasonic examination, etc.
Step 2: Take eggs and sperm.
The woman determines the development of eggs through ultrasound and blood examination during ovulation, and then promotes ovulation through cervical smear or natural ovulation to remove the eggs. The man provided sperm samples.
Step 3: Fertilization process.
The eggs and sperm taken out are fertilized in vitro in the laboratory, usually by in vitro fertilization or nuclear injection.
Step 4: Embryo transfer.
After the fertilized egg develops into an embryo, the doctor will select one or more embryos with the most development potential to transplant into the woman's uterus. This process is usually performed through the vagina or abdomen.
Cost of IVF
The cost of IVF varies with hospital location, doctor experience, equipment conditions and other factors. Generally speaking, the cost of IVF includes doctor's consultation fee, examination fee, egg retrieval fee, sperm supply fee, embryo culture fee, embryo transfer fee, etc.
