IVF usually refers to in vitro fertilization, which can potentially cost $30,000-$50,000, depending on the region, hospital, and cause of infertility. Some couples who cannot conceive naturally can get a healthy baby by doing IVF. The cost of IVF varies depending on the level of the hospital, the cause of the infertility, and the related tests. Usually, the more the causes of infertility, the more the cost is likely to be. Usually, some preoperative examinations cost 1000-3000 yuan, and then the female partner may spend 10000 yuan on ovulation stimulation drugs, down-regulation drugs and other costs. Also the next step of IVF, egg retrieval, culture, and transplantation will cost around $10,000. Both parties need to do third generation IVF if they have chromosomal abnormalities, which may cost a bit more. Therefore, the exact cost is subject to local charges.
