The cost of in vitro fertilization: How much does it generally cost to have twins?
The emergence of in vitro fertilization technology has given many families with fertility problems the hope of having children, and twins are the gospel that many families dream of. So, how much does in vitro fertilization cost to successfully give birth to twins?
1. Main components of IVF costs
The cost of IVF is composed of multiple links, including fallopian tube ovulation stimulation, egg retrieval, sperm processing, embryo cultivation, intrauterine transplantation, etc. Among them, egg retrieval and embryo cultivation are the two key links with the highest success rate of IVF.
Generally speaking, if supernova culture is required, the cost per embryo will be higher. Considering the high possibility of giving birth to twins, many families will choose supernova culture, which also makes the cost of IVF more expensive.
2. Differences in IVF costs in different regions
The cost of in vitro fertilization also varies greatly in different regions. For example, in big cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, the cost of in vitro fertilization is generally more than 200,000, while in some second- and third-tier cities it may only cost more than 100,000.
In addition, the cost of IVF is also related to the level and technical level of the hospital. When choosing a hospital, you need to consider multiple factors, not just cost.
3. Ways to reduce the cost of IVF
Although the cost of IVF is high, there are ways to reduce the cost. For example, for reasonable fallopian tube ovulation induction, not everyone needs to use higher doses of ovulation induction drugs; choosing the method of embryo freezing can reduce the time period and cost required for egg retrieval and embryo culture.
In addition, some hospitals have also introduced installment payment, medical insurance, public welfare assistance and other methods to provide assistance to families and help them better solve fertility problems.
4. How to increase the chance of giving birth to twins?
Giving birth to twins requires not only scientific and reasonable technical services, but also reasonable family preparations. During the entire process of IVF, both couples need to follow a strict lifestyle, such as not smoking, not drinking, not overexerting, etc., to increase the chance of implantation. In addition, you also need to adjust your diet, keep your mood comfortable, etc. to comprehensively improve your physical fitness and lay a good foundation for the birth of twins.
Summary
The cost of giving birth to twins through in vitro fertilization is relatively high, which is related to egg retrieval and embryo cultivation. The costs vary greatly in different regions and hospitals. In order to reduce the cost of in vitro fertilization, methods such as embryo freezing can be used. At the same time, attention should be paid to lifestyle issues and other aspects to increase the chance of fertility. Generally speaking, it is not easy to realize the dream of twins, but through scientific and reasonable plans and the active cooperation of the family, the hope of success can be turned into reality.
