Composition of IVF expenses

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is an assisted reproductive technology that uses medical means to culture blastocysts from fertilized eggs in vitro, and then transfer the blastocysts back to women's uterus for pregnancy. As a highly sophisticated medical technology, the cost structure of IVF is relatively complex, mainly including the following aspects.

Medical examination expenses

Before IVF, both husband and wife need to conduct various medical examinations to determine whether IVF is suitable. These medical examinations generally include sperm examination, egg quantity and quality examination, endometrial examination, etc. The cost of these examinations may vary from region to region and hospital to hospital.

Generally speaking, all examinations carried out by both husband and wife in the hospital may cost thousands to tens of thousands of yuan. This includes laboratory examination, ultrasonic examination, endocrine related examination, etc. For some couples with potential diseases, additional genetic tests may be required.

Drug expenses
