• IVF stage in domestic top-tier hospitals: Female examination and ovulation induction costs approximately 30,000-50,000 RMB, a single egg retrieval + in vitro fertilization + embryo culture costs about 40,000-60,000 RMB, and embryo screening (PGT-A) costs about 20,000-30,000 RMB. Total approximately 90,000-140,000 RMB.

2. Advanced Age Female IVF Surrogacy Cycle (From Start to Holding the Baby)

Taking the 2026 standard process as an example, the overall cycle is about 12-18 months, as follows:

1. Preliminary medical evaluation (1-2 months): Female AMH, sex hormone six items, hysteroscopy; male semen analysis; infectious disease screening; chromosome karyotype analysis, etc.
2. Ovulation induction and egg retrieval (1-2 months): Customized plan based on ovarian function, ovulation induction for about 10-14 days, egg retrieval surgery completed on the same day.
3. Embryo culture and screening (1-2 months): Blastocyst culture for 5-6 days, PGT-A genetic screening for about 3-4 weeks, waiting for results.
4. Finding a surrogate mother and legal contract (2-3 months): Match qualified surrogate volunteers, sign formal agreements, and conduct medical examinations simultaneously.
5. Embryo transfer and pregnancy management (10 months): Pregnancy test 14 days after transfer, if successful, maintain pregnancy until 12 weeks for stability, followed by routine prenatal check-ups until delivery.

For advanced age (≥38 years old), due to declining ovarian function, multiple ovulation induction cycles may be needed to accumulate embryos, potentially extending the overall cycle to over 20 months.
