How much does in vitro fertilization really cost?

  When many people mention IVF, they always think that it is such a profound technology and must cost a lot of money, which discourages many infertile couples. In fact, the cost of IVF is not as much as most people think!  The cost of IVF is divided into three parts: 1. Pre-operative tests. Generally, before IVF treatment, both couples should undergo preoperative examination, mainly to exclude some diseases that are not suitable for IVF, such as infectious diseases and diseases that are not suitable for the female partner to get pregnant, which costs about 1000-2000 RMB.  2. The cost of IVF medication. IVF is performed by removing the woman’s eggs after ovulation through medication, so generally 20-40 ovulation-promoting medications are used, plus the down-regulating medication used in front, which costs 9,000-15,000 RMB in total.  3. The cost of egg retrieval, culture and transfer of IVF, if there are extra good embryos to be frozen and preserved, is about 10,000 RMB. If single sperm injection (ICSI) is performed, it will cost another 2,000 RMB or so.  Thus, the total cost of the three parts is about 20,000 to 30,000 RMB. Of course, some costs are lower or higher than this range due to regional differences, differences in the amount of medication used by patients and differences between domestic and imported medications.
