Cost composition for the whole process of IVF
Test tube baby is an assisted reproductive technology, which is suitable for couples who cannot conceive naturally. The implementation of IVF requires consideration of various costs, including medical examination costs, drug costs, surgery costs, and later infant support costs. The following will elaborate on the cost composition of the whole process of IVF implementation from these aspects.
Medical examination expenses
In the process of IVF, both husband and wife need to carry out a number of medical examinations to ensure that their physical conditions are suitable for IVF. These examinations include blood examination, B-ultrasound examination and endocrine examination. The cost of medical examination varies according to the price difference of different hospitals and regions, generally between thousands and 10000 yuan. In addition, some additional inspection items, such as chromosome inspection or gene sequencing, may increase additional costs.
In the process of medical examination, it may be necessary to conduct another examination or delay the operation, which will also increase costs. Therefore, when choosing a hospital to implement IVF, it is necessary to comprehensively consider its examination items and prices, and communicate with the doctor to understand whether there will be additional costs.
Drug expenses
The IVF process requires a series of reproductive drugs, such as ovulation stimulating agents and luteinizing hormone, to help the development of eggs and the success of pregnancy. The cost of these drugs is relatively high, usually between thousands and 10000 yuan, depending on the type and dosage of drugs.
When purchasing reproductive drugs, you can consult a doctor or buy them from a hospital, which may offer a certain discount. In addition, regular blood sampling or B-ultrasound examination may be required during drug use to monitor drug effect and egg development, which will also increase some costs.
Operation expenses
IVF requires multiple operations, including egg collection and embryo transfer. Egg collection is a minimally invasive procedure that needs to be performed under general anesthesia. The operating expenses include operating room use fees, anesthesia fees and doctor fees, which are about tens of thousands of yuan.
Embryo transfer is the process of transferring the fertilized egg into the uterus to achieve pregnancy, which also needs to be carried out under general anesthesia. The cost of the operation is similar to that of the egg collection operation and depends on the cost standards of hospitals and doctors.
Late infant support expenses
In addition to the cost of surgery and medicine, the later infant rearing of IVF also needs to be considered. This includes the cost of financial support, feeding, medical care and education after the birth of the baby.
After the baby is born, it may take one month of maternity leave, and the couple will have a certain income reduction. In addition, the cost of feeding, medical care and education of infants need to be considered. These costs vary depending on the family's economic situation and the price in the region.
