Cost composition of IVF
In vitro fertilization embryo transfer (IVF-ET) is a widely accepted treatment option in many infertile couples. The cost of IVF mainly consists of the following aspects:
First, medical expenses are the main cost of IVF. Most hospitals will provide a package of IVF services, including assisted reproductive technology, gynecological examination, drug treatment, embryo transfer, etc. The charging standards and service scope of different hospitals are different, which also leads to the price difference of IVF.
Secondly, drug costs are also part of the cost of IVF. In the process of IVF, a series of drugs need to be used to promote the maturation of eggs and egg retrieval, and to help prepare the endometrium. The prices of these drugs are high, and they also need to be individually adjusted according to the specific conditions of patients, thus increasing the cost.
In addition, the examination fee is also an important part of the cost of IVF. In the process of IVF, multiple gynecological examinations, endometrial measurements, hormone level examinations, etc. are required to ensure that women's physical conditions are suitable for IVF. These tests consume time and resources, thus increasing the cost of IVF.
Finally, the cost of IVF surgery also needs to be considered. In IVF, eggs need to be collected and sperm obtained, and then further in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer. These operations need to be completed by professional doctors, and some medical equipment and materials need to be consumed. Therefore, the operation cost is also part of the cost of IVF.
Price difference of IVF
The price of IVF varies by region and hospital. Generally speaking, hospitals in large cities bear more patients and technical pressure, so the price is relatively high. In addition, the equipment level and doctor experience of different hospitals will also affect the price. Some well-known tertiary hospitals in China, such as the Third Hospital of Peking University, Shanghai Maternal and Child Health Hospital, have accumulated rich experience in the field of IVF and advanced equipment, so their prices are relatively high.
In addition, the price of IVF may also be affected by market supply and demand. If the demand for test tube babies exceeds the supply in a certain area, the price will often rise; Otherwise, the price may decline.
For some infertile couples, they may need to carry out multiple IVF operations to achieve success. This means that they have to bear many expenses, which increases the cost of the whole IVF process.

The price of IVF varies from hospital to hospital and from region to region. The following are the reference prices of IVF in some well-known hospitals in China:

The prices of different hospitals and regions are different, and are affected by the market supply and demand. For couples who need to have multiple IVF, they need to bear higher costs.
