Share
Considering egg freezing abroad? Taiwan has become a top destination for women from Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, and other Southeast Asian countries seeking safe, affordable, and advanced fertility preservation. NUWA Fertility Center offers comprehensive, foreigner-friendly egg freezing services with world-class care.
Why Freeze Your Eggs?
Egg freezing (oocyte cryopreservation) empowers women to take control of their reproductive future. Whether you're not ready to start a family or facing medical challenges, fertility preservation allows you to safeguard your chances of having biological children later.
🔹 Ideal Age for Egg Freezing:
Women between 30 and 35 years old benefit the most, as egg quality and quantity are optimal. After 35, both decline—more rapidly after 38.
Generally speaking, if a woman is in good physical condition and has sexual intercourse during her ovulation period, there is a 50% chance of getting pregnant between the ages of 20 and 25, a 40% chance between the ages of 26 and 35, and a 30% chance between the ages of 36 and 40.
🔹 Recommended for Women Who:
- Cancer patients with future fertility plans
- Over 30 years of age, who will not rule out having children in the future
- Premature ovarian failure or aging, need to collect a sufficient number of eggs for IVF treatment
- Endometriosis patients
- People with a family history of genetic diseases
Egg Freezing Procedure at NUWA
The egg freezing process at NUWA typically takes 10–14 days and involves five steps:
STEP 1: Make an appointment
Make an appointment to see your doctor and inform them about your condition so the doctor can evaluate your condition and assist you in scheduling your treatment.
STEP 2：Return to the clinic during the menstrual cycle
Return to the clinic on the 2nd to 3rd day of the menstrual cycle. Blood tests and an ultrasound will be performed before the egg-freezing treatment begins.
STEP 3：Ovulation induction
After beginning treatment, according to the doctor's diagnosis, ovulation injections or ovulation medication will be administered to induce ovulation, and about 2 visits will be scheduled for ultrasound examinations.
STEP 4：Egg retrieval procedure
Egg retrieval surgery is scheduled around the 11th to 14th day, and an ovulation trigger shot will be given before the procedure (34 to 36 hours before the procedure).
STEP 5：Egg freezing
Finally, the eggs will be frozen according to their maturity level. If you freeze your eggs at NUWA Fertility Center, you will be able to find out the number of eggs you have frozen on your NUWA Fertility Center APP.
Track your egg count and progress easily via the NUWA Fertility Center mobile app.
Egg Freezing Cost in Taiwan
For international patients planning to undergo egg freezing treatment at NUWA, the cost ranges from NT$140,000 to NT$180,000, which includes medication and one year of storage. Costs vary depending on ovarian function, medication, and your personalized treatment plan.
*International patients refer to those who do not possess a Taiwanese passport or a Taiwanese National ID.
💡 Compared to egg freezing prices in Singapore, Malaysia, or Thailand, Taiwan offers excellent value with international-quality standards.
Are There Any Long-Term Side Effects From Egg Freezing?
When considering egg freezing, many people worry about possible long-term effects or risks. In reality, most women recover quickly and return to their daily routines soon after the procedure. The discomforts that do occur are usually temporary and resolve on their own.
The most commonly discussed risk is Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS). However, the actual incidence is low—less than 5%. OHSS is more likely to occur in women who are younger, leaner, have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), or have more than 15–20 follicles. Most cases resolve within a few days. Some may experience bloating, nausea, vomiting, or dizziness, and only a very small number require short-term hospitalization.
Another concern some women have is ovarian torsion.
This condition is extremely rare. It can occur when the ovaries temporarily enlarge from stimulation medications. During this time, intense physical activity or trauma may cause the ovary to twist, leading to sudden, sharp abdominal pain. Although the likelihood is very low, doctors typically advise avoiding high-impact activities such as jumping, running, or vigorous yoga during the stimulation phase. If severe, persistent abdominal pain suddenly appears, immediate medical evaluation is necessary.
Overall, with close monitoring by your physician and individualized medication adjustments, egg freezing is considered a relatively safe procedure. Understanding the risks and taking proper precautions can help you prepare with confidence and move forward with peace of mind.
FAQs
Q1: How many eggs do you need to freeze to ensure it’s enough?
The quality of eggs decreases with age, and the older you get, the more eggs you would need to freeze if you're planning on expanding your family. According to the experience of our doctors at NUWA Fertility Center, the success rate of pregnancy is 70%:
- At 35 years old, you need about 8 eggs.
- At 38 years old, you need about 20 eggs.
- At 40 years old, you need about 35 eggs.
However, we are reminded that the above figures are based on planning for the birth of one child in the future. If you want to have a second or third child, you will need to freeze more eggs.
Q2: Will freezing my eggs speed up menopause?
No. Egg freezing doesn’t deplete your natural egg reserve. It simply matures eggs that would have naturally disintegrated in that cycle.
Egg freezing treatment is to induce ovulation through drug stimulation, so that other follicles that would have naturally shrunk during the cycles will have a chance to grow and, therefore, will not cause menopause to come early!
Q3: Where are my eggs stored?
All eggs are preserved in -196°C liquid nitrogen tanks under 24/7 surveillance with NUWA’s centralized monitoring system, ensuring the highest safety standards.
Q4: Are There Consequences that Comes With Egg Freezing?
While mild bloating or nausea may occur, serious complications are rare (<5%). NUWA doctors closely monitor your health throughout the cycle.
Q5: Are there government subsidies?
Yes! As of 2025, egg freezing subsidies are available in New Taipei City, Taipei City, Taoyuan, Hsinchu, Taichung, and Hualien for eligible residents. These local government programs aim to support women who wish to preserve their fertility through oocyte cryopreservation (egg freezing).
Each city may have slightly different eligibility requirements, subsidy amounts, and application procedures, so we recommend checking with the local Public Health Bureau or contacting NUWA Fertility Center for the most up-to-date details.
