Egg Freezing in Taiwan for Singaporeans: A Complete Guide

Share

Are you someone living in Singapore, looking to freeze your eggs? Why are more Singaporeans choosing Taiwan for this procedure?

The reasons are clear: affordable costs, advanced technology, efficient procedures, and higher success rates. This article provides a detailed analysis of the egg freezing process in Taiwan, cost comparisons, suitable candidates, and common questions to help you confidently plan your future.

Why More Singaporean Women Are Choosing Egg Freezing in Taiwan

Egg freezing has become a popular fertility preservation option for women worldwide, including Singapore. However, due to the high costs and strict local regulations, many Singaporean women are turning to Taiwan for egg freezing services. Taiwan offers affordable pricing, advanced fertility technology, and high success rates, making it an ideal destination for those considering egg freezing outside Singapore.

What is Egg Freezing?

Egg freezing, or oocyte cryopreservation, involves retrieving a woman’s eggs, freezing them, and storing them for future use. For many Singaporean women who wish to delay motherhood due to career, personal goals, or medical reasons, egg freezing in Taiwan offers greater accessibility and affordability compared to local options.

Who Are Those Suitable for Egg Freezing in Taiwan?

Dr. Chang Chih-Ting recommends the following groups of Singaporean women to consider egg freezing in Taiwan:

  1. Women under 35 and not yet married or with children: Freezing eggs earlier helps preserve higher-quality eggs, increasing future success rates.
  2. Women with declining ovarian function or gynecological issues: Those with low AMH, endometriosis, or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are advised to freeze eggs early.
  3. Women preparing for cancer treatment: Egg freezing before chemotherapy can preserve the possibility of future fertility.
  4. Women with a family history of premature ovarian failure or autoimmune diseases: They may face early ovarian decline, and freezing eggs early allows them to take control of their reproductive future.

How Successful is Egg Freezing in Taiwan?

The success of egg freezing depends on age and egg quality.
Success Rates of Egg Freezing at Different Ages
  • Best time for egg freezing at 30-35 YO: pregnancy success rate is extremely high after thawing, it’s usually recommended and the perfect time to plan for future fertility plans.
  • Egg quality decreases after 35 YO: To preserve and ensure higher chances of pregnancy, women will need to freeze more eggs.
  • Success rate decreases after 40 YO: Even if there are 20 frozen eggs, there will only be around a 10% live birth rate. It’s highly recommended to freeze your eggs as early as possible!
NUWA Fertility Center labs follow international protocols with a 96.3% egg thaw survival rate - far exceeding the global average of 70–85%.
