Frequently asked
Plain-language answers about ivf + icsi in China.
- How much does IVF + ICSI cost in China?
- Standard IVF + ICSI at Class A reproductive medicine centres for international patients runs USD 5,500–9,500 all-in including stimulation medications. PGT-A (preimplantation genetic testing) adds USD 1,400–2,200 per cycle.
- What centres serve international patients?
- PKU Third Hospital (Beijing), Renji Hospital (Shanghai), Reproductive Medicine Center of Shandong, and Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital (Guangzhou) are leading academic centres with structured international patient programmes.
- How long does a cycle take?
- Plan for 14–18 days in country: 1 day workup if not done locally, 10–14 days stimulation + monitoring, 1 day retrieval, 2–3 days recovery. Many international patients complete pre-cycle workup at home and arrive on cycle day 1, compressing the trip.
- What about egg / embryo donation for international patients?
- China heavily restricts donor egg / embryo programmes for international patients. If donor gametes are required, neighbouring jurisdictions (often easier in some Southeast Asian countries) may be more appropriate. Surrogacy is not permitted in China.
- Are PGT-A and PGT-M available?
- Yes at major academic centres, with strong technical capability. PGT-A (aneuploidy) turnaround is typically 9–12 days from biopsy. PGT-M (single-gene disorders) requires custom probe development and longer lead time.
- Can I freeze embryos for future cycles?
- Yes. Class A reproductive centres routinely cryopreserve surplus blastocysts. Annual storage is typically USD 250–450 per year. Future frozen embryo transfer cycles are USD 1,800–3,500 in country.
