Concept and process of IVF
IVF, also known as assisted reproductive technology, is a way to help couples who cannot conceive naturally to achieve fertility through medical means. It usually includes in vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer. In vitro fertilization (IVF) refers to the cultivation of female eggs and male sperm in vitro to generate fertilized eggs, and then transfer the fertilized eggs back to the female uterus for pregnancy. This process needs to go through many steps, including ovarian stimulation, egg collection, sperm and egg combination, embryo culture and transplantation.

In China, IVF has gradually become one of the common methods to solve the problem of infertility. At present, many domestic top three hospitals provide IVF services, such as Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Children's Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, etc.
Several aspects of funds needed for IVF
The cost of IVF is usually determined by several factors:
1. Medical expenses
The medical expenses of IVF mainly include the expenses of ovarian stimulation drugs, egg collection operations, in vitro fertilization and culture, embryo transfer, etc. The cost will vary depending on the geographical location, scale, technical level and other factors of the hospital. According to different reports, the medical expenses of IVF in China are roughly between 20000 and 50000 yuan.
2. Drug expenses
A series of drugs need to be used in the process of IVF, including ovulation promoting drugs, follicle stimulating drugs, ovarian anti depressants, progesterone, etc. The cost of these drugs is generally between RMB120000 and RMB10000 according to personal circumstances.
3. Inspection expenses
In the process of IVF, a series of examinations need to be carried out, such as ovulation monitoring, ovarian ultrasound, semen examination, blood examination, etc. The cost of examination varies from thousands of yuan to tens of thousands of yuan depending on the hospital.
4. Other expenses
In the process of IVF, there may be other expenses, such as accommodation, transportation, etc. These fees vary from person to person.
Additional factors for IVF costs
In addition to the costs directly involved above, there are some additional factors that will also increase the total cost of IVF:
1. Number of treatment cycles
Generally, the success rate of IVF is not 100%, so multiple treatment cycles are required. Each cycle adds costs.
2. Cost of frozen embryos
Sometimes, extra embryos will be frozen during IVF. If you need to use these frozen embryos, you also need to pay the relevant fees.
3. Pregnancy examination fee
After IVF successfully conceives, a series of pregnancy examinations are also required. These inspection fees need to be paid additionally.
summary
IVF is one of the ways to help couples who cannot conceive naturally realize their dreams of procreation. However, it also requires certain capital investment. The funds needed for IVF mainly include medical expenses, drug expenses, examination expenses and other expenses. In addition, the number of treatment cycles, the cost of frozen embryos and the cost of prenatal examination will also increase the total cost. According to individual conditions, the total cost of IVF in China is about RMB 100000 to 200000. Therefore, couples should fully understand the relevant costs and make financial preparations before considering IVF.
