What is the price of artificial insemination with sperm? Would it be very expensive to buy sperm as a test tube? There are not only specialized sperm banks abroad, but also domestically, mainly to assist male patients with irreversible azoospermia, oligozoospermia, and asthenozoospermia. Moreover, the price of sperm in domestic sperm banks is not expensive. For each 0.5ml tube of frozen semen used, it costs approximately 5000 yuan, providing convenience for infertility patients to make sperm donation tubes.

1、 Why buy sperm for a test tube?

At present, about 30 million couples in China suffer from infertility, and the average incidence rate of infertility among school-age couples is between 10% and 15%. Male infertility accounts for the majority and is caused by various reasons, such as insufficient sperm motility, sperm abnormalities, and blocked vas deferens. In this situation, currently only the sperm in the sperm bank can be used for in vitro fertilization to meet the desire for a baby. Using sperm from a sperm bank as a test tube is not expensive. Let's take a look together.

2、 Sperm bank sperm test tube cost breakdown

At present, there are not only specialized sperm banks abroad, but also most provinces in China. Most sperm banks in China are located in public tertiary reproductive medicine centers. As of now, there are 26 human sperm banks approved by the Health Commission in China that are available for use by infertile patients.

Using sperm from a sperm bank as a test tube is commonly referred to as in vitro fertilization. In fact, the cost of IVF is similar to that of regular IVF, except for the additional cost of buying sperm, which is not as expensive as we imagine. The cost of sperm test tubes in the sperm bank is as follows:

The cost of pre test tube physical examination for both spouses is approximately 2000 to 4000 yuan;

2. The cost of ovulation promoting drugs for women is usually around 5000 to 10000 yuan;

3. The cost of retrieving eggs from mature female follicles is approximately 5000 to 10000 yuan;

The purchase cost of sperm from the sperm bank is about 5000 yuan per use of 0.5ml frozen semen per tube;

The cost of embryo transfer is approximately 10000 to 15000 yuan.

From the above costs, it can be seen that the cost of using sperm from the sperm bank to make a test tube baby is approximately 40000 to 50000 yuan. Of course, the cost varies for each individual, mainly due to differences in their physical condition and choice of in vitro technology, so the cost also varies from person to person.

3、 Success rate of sperm tube borrowing

As is well known, IVF requires the use of sperm from a sperm bank, mainly due to some physical problems in males, which require IVF. IVF is mainly suitable for male patients with irreversible azoospermia, oligospermia, and asthenozoospermia.

At present, the sperm in the domestic sperm bank mainly comes from the remaining sperm in the test tube cycle or provided by donor volunteers. Generally speaking, the quality of sperm in a sperm bank is screened and checked, and only qualified sperm will be accepted by the bank. So the success rate of in vitro fertilization with sperm in the sperm bank is relatively high. If the female physique is also good, the success rate of in vitro fertilization can reach around 60% -70%.

Of course, there are many factors that affect the success rate of in vitro fertilization, not only related to the quality of male sperm, but also to the ovarian function and age of women. So before undergoing in vitro fertilization, both spouses should maintain good physical health in order to further improve the success rate of in vitro fertilization.

4、 Time required for sperm supply to test tubes

As is well known, the cycle of in vitro fertilization is generally relatively long, taking about a month. There are some differences between in vitro fertilization (IVF) using sperm bank sperm and conventional IVF. Generally speaking, conventional IVF can enter the IVF cycle as long as both spouses have checked and meet the conditions and requirements of IVF, and the entire cycle takes 1-3 months.

At that time, patients who use sperm bank sperm for in vitro fertilization will need to apply for third-party sperm after meeting the conditions for in vitro fertilization. Third party sperm is usually obtained from a sperm bank approved by the National Health Commission, so there is a process of waiting for the source of sperm before entering the IVF cycle. At present, the domestic sperm bank is in a situation of "sperm shortage", so the waiting time for queuing applications will be relatively long. According to the survey, queuing for 1-2 years, 3 to 4 years.

It can be seen that the time period for sperm donation in IVF mainly depends on the application time for sperm source. As long as the sperm is confirmed, it can directly enter the IVF cycle and complete IVF treatment within 2-3 months.
