Egg Freezing
Egg Freezing
Eggs are the most precious treasure.
Egg freezing is not some trivial knowledge, it is something that concerns you.

When the Creator created women, he also gave them one of the most special abilities, which is to create "life" and keep "hope." And eggs, the most precious treasure, decrease quietly...

Age affects egg quality and quantity

Age and fertility are closely related. Using young, low rate-abnormal chromosome eggs, the chances of achieving pregnancy are greatly improved. "Frozen eggs" pre-store fertility, allowing your future self to control your happiness in your own hands and achieve a fulfilling life easier and with no regrets.

Egg number declines with age

According to statistics, a newborn baby girl has about 1 million oocytes. However, in addition to the regular discharge of menstruation during the growth period, other oocytes will also undergo self-apoptosis as the years go by, leading to the destruction of oocytes during menopause. The quantity is less than 1000 oocytes.

Egg abnormality rate increases with age

According to BlueGnome research, as age increases, the abnormality rate of egg chromosomes becomes higher and higher. 25% of eggs at the age of 30, and 50~70% of eggs at the age above 40 are abnormal eggs. This is the main reason for the increase in miscarriage rates.

Egg quality is an important factor affecting pregnancy and childbirth

According to 2019 data from the National Health Administration, in the absence of pre-stored eggs, the pregnancy rate and live birth rate after the age of 29 decrease with the age of women; the live birth rate after the age of 40 is even lower than 10%.

Who is fit for social egg freezing?
  • Unmarried with low AMH index

  • 35 year-old or above with no birth plan in the future few years

  • With a family history of premature ovarian failure or autoimmune diseases

  • Suffer from severe endometriosis and plan to have surgery

  • Plan to have chemotherapy or radiation treatment for treating tumor or cancer

Benefits of egg pre-storage
  • Taiwan’s medical technology is advanced. Even after the ideal childbearing age, you can still realize your dream of having a child through in vitro fertilization technology. So why do you need to freeze your eggs as early as possible?

  • Ovarian function gradually declines with age, and the "quality" and "quantity" of eggs are gone forever. Analysis of artificial reproduction results in Taiwan in 2019 showed that the live birth rate of fresh embryo implantation for 38-year-old couples was only 25%. Which means they need to take more than four IVF attempts to successfully bring a baby home. The live birth rate was only 6.7% over 40 years old couples. Worst of all, they often end up forced to borrow eggs to have a baby.

  • According to statistics from the Stork Fertility Center, direct IVF treatment for those over 41 years old cost nine times more than using eggs cryopreserved at a young age. It can tell us that younger eggs have a higher pregnancy rate and CP value is also better. So for modern women who want to balance career and family, freezing young eggs earlier is more effective than in vitro fertilization at older ages

FAQ
 
  • Will frozen eggs be used?

    There are not many things that can surpass the future. Egg freezing is one of them. Some people worry about “won’t use it”. This depends on “age” and “whether you want to get married”. If there is no stable relationship between the ages of 35 and 37, it means that the chance of marriage is not high at the age of 38 to 40. At this time, egg freezing is the right choice and the CP value is the highest. As empirical medicine shows that women’s egg quality declines rapidly at the age of 38, the cost doubles of IVF.

  • Do I have to get married to get pregnant with frozen eggs?

    Yes, according to Taiwan’s Artificial Reproduction Law, a legal marriage relationship is required to implement artificial reproduction technology. Or you may choose to export your eggs abroad for related treatment services in the future.

  • How long can an egg be frozen?

    Frozen eggs use vitrification technology to store eggs in a stable environment of liquid nitrogen at -196°C for a long time. Many studies have found that vitrification causes much less damage than slow freezing and has a survival rate of more than 90%. Therefore, there is no shelf life on the technical level.

  • Will an ovulation injection lead to earlier menopause?

    No. The number of female eggs is determined at the moment of birth. There are already hundreds of thousands of eggs in the egg warehouse. During the growth period, in addition to the regular discharge of menstruation, other eggs will also self-deplete as the years grow.

    Without the aid of any medication, the female hormones secreted in the body are only enough to supply 1 to 2 eggs to mature, and the remaining small follicles that are not selected will shrink on their own. The ovulation needle only provides enough hormones to allow these eggs to grow up and be taken out, and will not affect the inventory or premature menopause.

  • Are there any risks in egg retrieval surgery?

    The most worrying risk after receiving ovulation induction treatment is "Ovarian Hyperstimulation (OHSS)", the incidence rate is less than 5%. Our hospital designs the most appropriate ovulation induction treatment according to your ovarian function, and matches with sustained ovulation injections and different Egg-breaking injections to greatly reduce the probability of OHSS.

  • Do I need to get pregnant via IVF after freezing eggs?

    Yes. The ovulation injection treatment is carried out, and the young eggs are surgically removed and stored in advance. Wait until the right time, thaw the egg for subsequent fertilization (IVF treatment), and at the same time incubate in vitro for 3~5 days before implanting the good embryo into the mother's uterus. The whole pregnancy will not be completed until the healthy baby is born after term.

  • Will using frozen eggs affect the subsequent fertilization rate and pregnancy?

    We adopt the Japanese Kuwayama vitrification technology, and successfully completed the first case of egg freezing in November 2009. Every year, more female friends continue to use this method to successfully fulfill their wish of becoming a mother.

    In addition, according to the latest statistical analysis of this fertility center, the survival rate of frozen eggs is above 90%, and there is no significant difference between the fertilization rate, clinical pregnancy rate and implantation rate of fresh eggs. This shows that vitrification technology will not affect the eggs, and the potential for pregnancy is comparable.
