Cost and process of IVF

IVF is an assisted reproductive technology, which helps couples who are difficult to conceive naturally realize their reproductive dreams through in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer. The cost and process of IVF vary from hospital to hospital and from person to person, which will be described in detail below.

1. Expenses

The cost of IVF is an important part of the whole process. The expenses include hospital examination, drug expenses, various procedures and operation expenses in the process of IVF. First, a series of examinations, such as basic blood examination, endocrine examination, ultrasound and endometrial biopsy, are required before IVF. The cost of these examinations varies from hospital to hospital and region to region. Secondly, drug cost is a big expense in the process of IVF. Drug costs include ovulation promoting drugs, luteinizing hormone, pregnancy protection drugs and pregnancy maintenance drugs. The price of these drugs is also related to regional and hospital policies. Moreover, the procedures and operation costs in the IVF process also need to be considered. For example, hospital related expenses need to be paid for operations such as egg retrieval, sperm extraction, embryo culture and embryo transfer. Therefore, the cost of IVF varies from person to person, and will be affected by hospital prices and regional differences. Generally speaking, the cost of the whole IVF process ranges from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of yuan.

2. Process

The process of IVF can be roughly divided into the following steps: First of all, both husband and wife need to receive a comprehensive physical examination to understand the specific fertility situation, eliminate potential problems and select appropriate programs. Secondly, according to the examination results, the doctor will develop a personalized treatment plan, including the use of ovulation promoting agents for women to ovulate many times, and semen collection for men. Then, the female underwent egg retrieval, while the male provided fresh or frozen semen. After taking the eggs, the doctor will conduct in vitro fertilization of sperm and eggs in the laboratory and cultivate them into embryos. Finally, doctors implant healthy embryos into a woman's uterus and monitor her pregnancy. If the pregnancy is successful, the IVF is successfully completed.

Risk and complications of IVF

Although IVF technology has made breakthroughs in the field of science and medicine, the risks and complications associated with it still exist. Here are some common risks and complications.

1. Multiple pregnancy

In the process of IVF, doctors usually implant multiple embryos into women's uterus to improve the success rate of pregnancy. However, it also brings the risk of multiple pregnancy. Multiple pregnancy will increase health risks for both children and mothers, such as premature delivery, low birth weight, perinatal complications, etc.

2. Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome

During ovulation induction, some women may develop ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). This is a series of symptoms and complications caused by ovarian hyperstimulation caused by ovulation promoting drugs, including abdominal distension, vomiting, abdominal pain, edema and chest tightness.

3. Failure of embryo transfer

Although doctors will screen healthy embryos for implantation before transplantation, not every embryo can be successfully implanted. The failure of embryo transfer may be caused by embryo problems, intrauterine environment problems or other unknown factors.

4. Psychological pressure

The process of IVF is a hard journey for couples, which may bring psychological pressure and emotional fluctuations. Every failed attempt will have a psychological impact on the couple, which requires mutual support and professional psychological assistance from both sides.

Summary

IVF is a complex assisted reproductive technology, and the cost and process vary from person to person and hospital to hospital. The expenses include various examination expenses, medicine expenses and operation expenses. The process includes physical examination, treatment plan formulation, egg retrieval operation, embryo culture and embryo transfer. However, IVF also has risks and complications, such as multiple pregnancy, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, embryo transfer failure and psychological stress. Therefore, before IVF, couples need to understand and consider these risks and seek professional advice from doctors.
