Giving birth to twins in IVF is a "dream" thing for many families, after all, everyone wants to get together at once.
And for the in-laws who are eager to hold the eldest grandson, it is even more hoped that good things will be paired, and the name is beautiful - "No matter how expensive, it can give birth to twins/dragon and phoenix fetuses can also be drawn~"
So the question is, will IVF really cost more money to give birth to twins than singletons?
In fact, as an assisted reproductive technology, IVF technology is mainly to help infertile families realize their fertility dreams, rather than customizing twins, so there is no problem that IVF twins are more expensive than singletons.
Twins only occur when the doctor releases 2 embryos at the time of embryo transfer according to the patient's physical condition, and both embryos are alive.
The cost of IVF, including the patient's preoperative examination costs, medicine costs, surgical fees, frozen embryos and other management costs, etc., whether it is 1 or 2 embryos transferred, are counted as one operation cost.
So what are the odds of IVF having twins?
In order to ensure the pregnancy rate of IVF, the general fertility doctor will transfer 1-2 embryos according to the patient's physical condition. If two embryos survive in a woman's womb at the same time, they are twins, so IVF is more likely to conceive twins than to conceive naturally.
With the delay in women's age, as well as the use of assisted reproductive technologies, data from the American Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology report that the birth rate of twins is 3.33%. Although there are no clear data in China in recent years, there is also a trend of increasing year by year.
However, not everyone is suitable for conceiving twins
Studies have shown that pregnant mothers who are pregnant with twins will have more obvious symptoms during pregnancy, and morning sickness is one of them!
Levels of hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) during pregnancy may be related to the degree to which morning sickness occurs.
If the pregnant mother is pregnant with two, the hCG level in the blood will increase more obviously, so that the twin pregnant mothers are more likely to have morning sickness in the first trimester and vomit more violently.
In addition to morning sickness, twin pregnant mothers are more likely than most pregnant mothers to have symptoms such as back pain, poor sleep, stomach acid reflux and heartburn; in addition, twin pregnant mothers are also more likely to have anemia and postpartum haemorrhage.
One hand wiped, all bitter tears.
In addition, the pregnancy of twins also needs to be determined according to the size of the uterus, the situation of the lining and other aspects. Some women have small uterus and poor health, even if they are pregnant with twins, it will threaten the health of mothers and babies, and doctors will recommend fetal reduction.
So don't force the IVF twins, just go with the flow!
IVF technology brings fertility hope to families who want to have children, but it cannot give any guarantee to families who want to have twins!
Therefore, whether you can have twins needs to be treated rationally, and it is not advisable to rush to ask for two
