This article will elaborate on the expenses of IVF from four aspects: medical expenses, drug expenses, gynecological examination expenses and auxiliary technology expenses.

Postoperative follow-up usually includes blood examination, follicle monitoring and other costs, with each cost ranging from hundreds to 1000 yuan. These fees will vary depending on the medical level of the city and the level of hospitals. Some well-known specialized hospitals usually charge higher fees.
