For example, the cost of ovulation promoting drugs is generally about 5000-10000 yuan, while the cost of assisted reproductive technology varies from hospital to hospital.
Thirdly, the cost of IVF includes in vitro fertilization, embryo culture and embryo transfer. The cost of artificial insemination varies from 10000 yuan to 30000 yuan depending on the hospital and technology. The cost of embryo culture is generally 5000-10000 yuan, while the cost of embryo transfer is about 10000-20000 yuan.

The process of IVF
The process of IVF is generally divided into the following steps:
The first step is to promote ovulation. Through the use of ovulation promoting drugs to regulate the menstrual cycle of women, ovulation is released to increase the number of eggs.
The second step is to take the eggs. The doctor punctures the female ovary to take the eggs, and collects the eggs into the embryo culture dish through the fine needle technology under the guidance of ultrasound.
The third step is sperm processing and fertilization. The collected sperm is processed and prepared, and then is artificially fertilized with the egg.
The fourth step is embryo culture. The fertilized eggs are cultured in the laboratory to observe the development of embryos and select the best embryos for transplantation.
The fifth step is embryo transfer. The selected embryo is transferred back to the female uterus. This process is usually carried out under the guidance of a gynecologist, using a thin tube to directly send the embryo into the uterine cavity.
Finally, nursing and observation were carried out. After IVF, relevant nursing and observation are required, including rest, attention to diet and medication. At the same time, a pregnancy test is also required at a specific time to confirm whether the pregnancy is successful.
