How much does it cost to choose the third test tube baby?
With the progress of science and technology, more and more couples choose assisted reproductive technology to achieve their reproductive aspirations. Among them, the third test tube baby technology has attracted much attention. However, many people still have doubts about how much it will cost to carry out the third IVF. This article will introduce relevant expenses in detail from several aspects, and summarize them.
Hospitals and Regions
On the first hand, the hospital and region selected for the third IVF will directly affect the cost. Generally speaking, big cities and developed areas will have higher costs than small cities and underdeveloped areas. This is mainly because the medical facilities in big cities are more advanced, the technology is more mature, and more professional doctors provide services.
In addition, the prices of different hospitals will be different. Well known public hospitals are usually relatively cheap, while private hospitals have higher costs. For example, Peking Union Medical College Hospital is a well-known public hospital, and its price is relatively reasonable. The Affiliated Children's Hospital of Shanghai Jiaotong University is a private hospital, and the cost will be slightly higher.
In addition to hospital and regional factors, personal economic and health conditions also affect costs. Some hospitals will assess the economic situation and give corresponding discounts to families in need. At the same time, some special health conditions may also require additional treatment and costs.
Assisted reproductive technology
Second, the choice of assisted reproductive technology will also have an impact on costs. The third IVF technology includes in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer, and the cost of each step will be different.
The cost of IVF mainly includes the cost of ovulation guidance drugs, ovarian stimulation fees and the cost of ovum retrieval. The specific amount of these fees will vary according to personal circumstances and hospital policies.
The cost of embryo transfer includes the cost of embryo culture and the cost of embryo transfer operation. The embryo culture fee depends on the number of embryos and the culture time. The operation cost of embryo transfer depends on the difficulty of the operation and the mode of anesthesia selected.
Auxiliary treatment expenses
Third, the cost of adjuvant treatment also needs to be considered. Adjuvant treatment includes the cost of frozen embryos, the cost of drugs for pregnancy preparation, and the cost of pregnancy monitoring and pregnancy maintenance.
The cost of frozen embryos is related to the number of embryos and the freezing time. Generally speaking, the cost of freezing embryos is relatively high, but it can provide more opportunities for future pregnancy.
The drug costs for pregnancy preparation mainly include ovulation guidance drugs, hormones and ovulation promoting drugs. The cost of these drugs will vary according to personal circumstances and hospital policies.
The costs of pregnancy monitoring and pregnancy maintenance include prenatal examination, prenatal examination, prenatal health care and delivery costs. These fees will vary according to personal circumstances, hospital policies and regional standards.
Summary
The amount of money needed to choose the third test tube baby is a complex problem, which is affected by many factors. Hospitals and regions, the choice of assisted reproductive technology, and the cost of adjuvant treatment are all important factors affecting the cost. Therefore, if you want to know the specific cost, it is recommended that both husband and wife conduct investigation and consultation before choosing a hospital, so as to make a wise decision.
