How much does IVF generally cost?

Generally, the cost of in vitro fertilization (IVF) ranges from 30,000 to 100,000 yuan. The cost of IVF is influenced by regional living standards, the type of assisted reproductive technology used, the patient's age, and the underlying cause of infertility. If any discomfort occurs, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly. Detailed analysis is as follows:

1. Regional Cost of Living

In regions with a higher cost of living, the price for IVF procedures tends to be higher, typically ranging from 40,000 to 50,000 yuan. In areas with lower living costs, the procedure is generally less expensive, usually not exceeding 40,000 yuan, with most cases costing around 30,000 yuan.

2. Procedure Complexity

If the patient’s condition is relatively favorable and the procedure is less complex, the cost is generally lower, ranging from 30,000 to 50,000 yuan. However, if the medical condition is more complicated and technically challenging, the cost is typically higher, often between 50,000 and 100,000 yuan.

3. Costs of Assisted Reproductive Technologies

IVF is an assisted reproductive technology that includes first to fourth generations. The cost for first-generation IVF is typically 30,000–40,000 yuan; second-generation IVF costs about 50,000–80,000 yuan; third-generation IVF usually ranges from 80,000 to 100,000 yuan; and fourth-generation IVF generally costs around 100,000 yuan.

4. Age

For women aged 25–35, IVF success rates are relatively high, and the associated costs are lower, typically around 30,000–50,000 yuan. However, for women over 35, ovarian function declines significantly, leading to lower success rates and higher overall costs, which may range from 70,000 to 100,000 yuan.

5. Cause of Infertility

There are various causes of infertility. Patients with conditions such as endometriosis or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) often have lower IVF success rates compared to others, which may require multiple cycles or advanced techniques, resulting in higher costs—potentially reaching up to 100,000 yuan.

Women undergoing IVF treatment should maintain a positive and healthy mindset, as this can help improve the chances of IVF success.
