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:

Women under 35 and not yet married or with children: Freezing eggs earlier helps preserve higher-quality eggs, increasing future success rates.
Women with declining ovarian function or gynecological issues: Those with low AMH, endometriosis, or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are advised to freeze eggs early.
Women preparing for cancer treatment: Egg freezing before chemotherapy can preserve the possibility of future fertility.
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.

Here’s why Taiwan is becoming a top choice for Singaporeans:

Lower Costs: Egg freezing costs in Taiwan are significantly lower compared to that of Singapore’s.
Higher Success Rates: Taiwan’s clinics report competitive IVF success rates, partly due to better embryo culture systems and lab technologies.
