Some couples who were unable to have children suddenly have hope with the advancement of IVF technology. So, let's find out what the third generation IVF price is like, why is the third generation IVF price so expensive, and should we still do it if the third generation IVF price is so expensive? Here is the main introduction to the third generation of IVF prices.
First of all, there is a third generation, then the first two generations can not be mentioned at all. The first generation is the use of in vitro fertilization embryo transfer, in vitro to complete the fertilization of eggs and cultivate into embryos after transplantation into the woman's uterus, the cost of the whole process is about 15,000 yuan. Compared to the price of third-generation IVF, this first generation can be said to be very cheap.
And the second generation is the in vitro micro fertilization embryo transfer technology, for the extremely low sperm, weak sperm people are more suitable, but can not completely avoid the offspring may have the occurrence of genetic diseases, the whole process of the surgical fee as well as the cost of medication for about 18,000 to 20,000 yuan. Of course, compared to the price of third-generation IVF, it's not that expensive.
Next, we will focus on the price of third-generation IVF and the general situation.
Embryo screening to prevent genetic diseases is a more scientific term for third-generation IVF, which focuses on screening embryos developed from in vitro fertilization of couples with genetic diseases and transferring healthy embryos into a woman's uterus. This technique, which has been used since 2000, is an option for couples with genetic disorders such as hemophilia or thalassemia, or those with chromosomal abnormalities. There are also genetic diseases that are passed on to males but not to females, which can also be avoided by testing through the third generation IVF technique. Third generation IVF is capable of performing pre-bed genetic diagnosis (PGD). As a result, the price of third-generation IVF is typically $20,000 to $30,000.
Third-generation IVF is considered to be more expensive, and its cost generally consists of two parts. One is the cost of the drugs used, because the cost of imported drugs and domestic drugs vary greatly, the difference can reach the range of 3,000 to 20,000 yuan, the normal level of expenditure in the 5,000 to 10,000 yuan. Moreover, the older you are, the more medication you need to use, and thus the higher the cost. There is also the cost of the surgery as well as the laboratory operations, and this part also varies depending on the treatment chosen. It is usually around $10,000 and the total cost of the session will vary from $10,000 to $30,000 or more. The third generation IVF price includes these two parts, and because of the high cost of drugs, the external conditions required are also more stringent, so the price of doing a "test tube baby" is also a bit high.
So, for some infertile couples, if they want to choose IVF, not only their own conditions to meet the requirements, have enough confidence and determination, financial strength is also an unavoidable problem, because each person in the whole process of the dosage of drugs are different, so the cost will be different. Normally, the success rate is higher for the younger ones with low ovarian response and hence the cost will be slightly lower. Gao Shiyou, director of a provincial health center, once said that 1,000 couples are successfully conceived through IVF technology every year, and the incidence of multiple births is about 20 percent. Moreover, in the case of premature birth of multiples, the cost of resuscitation is also not expensive. So, the price of third-generation IVF and the costs that come afterward have to be a heavy burden for a not-so-wealthy family. So, why do so many people still choose third generation IVF when it is so expensive? One reason is that the development of biotechnology has made what was impossible now possible. There is also the fact that our economy is developing rapidly, people's incomes have increased, living standards have improved, and some people have enough ability to afford the cost of high-end medical technology and expensive medications. Therefore, even if the price of third-generation IVF is unbearable, it fulfills the impossibility for some people and it is worth it.
In summary, the price of third-generation IVF is high, but it is not unacceptable, and multiple people have realized their dream of longing to be a parent with the help of this technology. In this introduction, I believe that you should have an understanding of the third generation of IVF prices and the specifics, whether it is worth it must have their own views in the hearts of everyone. But I think that having children, passing on the family name is a big deal since ancient times, spending more money is also worth it.
