Test tube baby: the economic investment behind

Artificial assisted reproductive technology (ART) has become one of the common choices to solve the problem of infertility in the United States. As a kind of ART, IVF has brought new hope for couples who cannot conceive naturally. However, IVF is not only a sophisticated medical technology, but also requires huge economic investment. This article will elaborate on the cost of implementing IVF in the United States from many aspects.

medical expense

First of all, the main economic input required by IVF is medical expenses. According to different medical facilities, regions and specific circumstances, the medical expenses of IVF will vary. A complete IVF course usually includes drug therapy, egg retrieval, in vitro fertilization, embryo transfer and other steps. According to statistics, the average cost of a complete IVF process is between US $20000 and US $50000. This is only the basic cost. If additional auxiliary technology is needed or complications occur, the cost will be further increased.

In addition, IVF also involves some other medical related costs. For example, the costs of initial visits and consultations, as well as the costs of various examinations and laboratory tests to detect the causes of infertility in couples. These costs are an essential part of the medical process and need to be planned and considered in advance.

Drug expenses

In the process of IVF, drugs used to promote egg development and control ovulation can not be ignored. These drugs include ovulation promoting drugs, follicle stimulating hormone and progesterone. The dosage and type of drugs required for each IVF treatment course will vary according to individual conditions. Generally speaking, drug costs range from $2000 to $5000. In addition, some insurance companies may not cover the cost of IVF drugs, which will increase the burden of couples.

Auxiliary technology cost

In addition to medical and drug costs, there are also some auxiliary technology costs to consider. For example, if couples choose to use donated sperm or eggs, they will have to pay the donor. In addition, if embryo freezing and preservation is required, freezing and storage costs shall be paid. These additional costs will further increase the total cost of IVF.

summary

To sum up, the implementation of IVF requires economic investment in many aspects. Medical expenses, drug expenses and auxiliary technology expenses are the most important expenses during the implementation of IVF. According to different personal circumstances, the total cost of IVF will vary, on average, in the range of tens of thousands of dollars. Before deciding to carry out IVF, couples should fully understand the relevant costs and make economic planning and preparation.
