Cost and timing of IVF cycles
IVF is an assisted reproductive technology that can help couples who cannot conceive naturally achieve their reproductive aspirations. The cost and timing of IVF cycles vary from hospital to hospital and from person to person. This article will elaborate on the cost and time of IVF cycle from four aspects.
Preliminary assessment of medical conditions
The first step in the IVF cycle is a preliminary assessment of medical conditions. Couples need physical examination, including women's ovarian function and endometrial examination, and men's semen analysis. According to the results of the examination, the doctor will develop a test tube baby treatment program suitable for couples.
The cost of this stage mainly includes medical examination cost and diagnosis cost. The specific cost varies according to the hospital and examination items, which is about 5000-10000 yuan. The time is usually 1-2 weeks, including inspection appointment, inspection process and result evaluation.
Superovulation and egg collection
Superovulation is to promote the ovary to produce multiple follicles and increase the success rate of IVF through the assistance of drugs. At this stage, women need to inject ovulation promoting drugs by themselves every day, and conduct regular B-ultrasound examination under the supervision of doctors to determine the development of follicles.
The cost of superovulation and egg collection stage mainly includes the cost of ovulation promoting drugs and the cost of B ultrasound examination. The cost of ovulation promoting drugs varies according to the type and dosage of drugs, generally between 5000 and 10000 yuan. The cost of B-ultrasonic examination is about 300-800 yuan/time. This phase usually lasts for 2-3 weeks.
Fertilization and embryo culture
After egg collection, eggs and sperm are fertilized in the laboratory to form embryos. Embryos will be cultured in the laboratory until they reach the optimal development state. In this process, doctors will choose the best embryo transfer time according to the quality and development of the embryo.
The cost of fertilization and embryo culture stage includes in vitro fertilization cost, embryo culture cost and hormone treatment cost. In vitro fertilization costs about 5000-10000 yuan, and embryo culture costs about 2000-5000 yuan. The cost of hormone treatment varies with different drugs and doses, about 1000-3000 yuan. The time is usually 3-5 days.
Embryo transfer and pregnancy detection
After the embryo culture is completed, the doctor will select the best embryo for transfer. Embryo transfer is a simple non-surgical process, usually without anesthesia. After transplantation, couples need to wait for a period of time for pregnancy testing to determine whether pregnancy is successful.
The costs of embryo transfer and pregnancy testing include the costs of embryo transfer and pregnancy testing. The cost of embryo transfer is about 5000-10000 yuan, and the cost of pregnancy testing is about 100-300 yuan. The time is usually 10-14 days.
Summary
The cost and schedule of IVF cycle include preliminary assessment of medical conditions, superovulation and egg collection, fertilization and embryo culture, embryo transfer and pregnancy testing. The specific cost and time of these stages vary from hospital to hospital and from person to person. In general, the cost of the whole IVF cycle is about 20000 to 30000, and the duration is 2-3 months. Couples should consult a professional doctor before the IVF cycle to understand the specific cost and schedule, and make decisions according to their personal circumstances.
