In Singapore, the cost of egg freezing typically ranges from $10,000 to $20,000. This can vary based on factors like the clinic you choose, your body's specific needs (which affects the types of injections and medications required), and the number of eggs retrieved, which can influence additional fees like freezing and storage.

Meanwhile, in Malaysia, the cost is generally in the range of $7,000 to $12,000. At Taylor, we've put together a list of trustworthy clinics in Malaysia to make sure you have access to high-quality care.

There is usually a recurring, typically annual fee for storing frozen eggs. In Singapore, the annual fee generally falls between $500 and $1500. The specific amount within this range often depends on the number of eggs you have in storage. For instance, it might cost around $1200 if you have more than 20 eggs.

In Malaysia, the annual cost is typically in the range of $300 to $1200. Like in Singapore, this varies based on the number of eggs stored, and for instance, it might be around $1050 if you have 30 eggs in storage.

As women age, the number and quality of their eggs naturally decrease. Every woman is born with a set amount of eggs, and this reserve gradually diminishes over the years, accelerating when a woman hits 35. Additionally, certain health issues can accelerate this natural process, impacting the quantity and quality of eggs even more.

As time passes, the remaining eggs can also undergo changes in quality, increasing the likelihood of issues like chromosomal abnormalities as we age. Abnormal eggs may struggle to fertilise and develop correctly, and can lead to challenges such as infertility, miscarriage, or genetic disorders like Down syndrome.

When you decide to freeze your eggs, you're essentially preserving them at their current stage. Once the eggs are taken out of your body and frozen, they stop aging. The sooner you do this in life, the more eggs you can store, and they might be of better quality for future use.

It's an important decision to freeze your eggs, and it's crucial to understand that while it provides more choices, it doesn't guarantee a certain pregnancy in the future. As discussions around egg freezing increase, some companies might not be entirely transparent about this. We believe in being honest with you right from the start.

Egg freezing is the initial phase of the IVF process, where eggs are retrieved, frozen and stored. When you’re ready to have a baby, IVF picks up where egg freezing left off. It starts with the thawing of the frozen eggs. These eggs are then fertilised in a lab using sperm from your partner or donor. Post-fertilisation, the eggs develop into embryos in the lab over several days. During this period, the embryos are monitored to select the healthiest one for implantation. The selected embryo is then transferred to your womb/uterus, with the hope that it will implant in the uterine lining and develop into a successful pregnancy.

The age at which you decide to freeze your eggs and the number of eggs you freeze play a crucial role in your chances of having a baby with frozen eggs. Let's delve into the research findings.

For an egg to become a baby, there are multiple hoops that the egg has to jump through. First, they have to be thawed (unfrozen), fertilised, developed into embryos, and then implanted into the mother's womb for pregnancy. Generally, about 90% of eggs make it through the thawing process. Of these, 50-70% may fertilize, and around half of these fertilized eggs develop into viable embryos. From there, about half of these embryos may result in a pregnancy. Based on these statistics, freezing around 12 to 13 eggs could provide an approximately 80% chance of achieving a pregnancy.

Age significantly influences these odds. A 2016 study involving 1,283 thawed eggs revealed varying success rates based on age: approximately 7.4% for women under 30, 7.0% for those aged 30-34, and 5.2% for women 38 or older. For instance, if you freeze your eggs between the ages of 30-34, the chances of having a baby from 14 thawed eggs are roughly 63.8%.

Taking your age into account, we can offer a more personalised estimate of how many eggs you might want to consider freezing, enhancing your chances of a successful pregnancy.

Typically, a single egg freezing cycle may result in the freezing of approximately 10-15 eggs, but this can vary significantly for each individual and is heavily influenced by your egg reserves.

To assess your egg count, your doctor will measure your anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels, which is a protein hormone released by the eggs in your ovaries. Another method is the antral follicle count (AFC), performed with a transvaginal ultrasound. This counts the antral follicles, the tiny homes for your eggs in your ovaries, providing an estimate of your egg count.

In short: no, it doesn't. A common misunderstanding is that freezing your eggs depletes your ovarian reserves (the number of eggs in your ovaries). However, the hormone medications used in the egg retrieval process signal your ovaries to let all the eggs recruited in a single cycle mature, instead of the usual one egg per cycle. So, far from reducing your ovarian reserve, egg freezing actually saves eggs that would have otherwise been lost with your menstrual cycle.

While no medical procedure is entirely risk-free, egg freezing is generally considered a highly safe process, with minimal overall risks. One of the potential concerns discussed is Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS), a condition where the ovaries may become swollen and painful due to the hormone medications used during stimulation. However, recent research indicates that the percentage of egg retrievals complicated by OHSS is now only 0.34%, down from 1.2% in 2014. The risk of OHSS is well understood and effectively managed. Your doctor will closely monitor your response to the medications and implement appropriate measures to minimise this risk.

Taylor is something that Eve has chosen to dedicate her time, savings and life to because she finds it deeply worthwhile to create a world where women have options. To Eve, it seems rather antiquated and unfair that women should have to navigate the constraints of a biological clock, when factors such as finding a partner, creating a life we want and overcoming failed relationships often take time.

She has chosen the name Taylor because it is a gender-neutral name for her future imaginary child - though in her mind, she is really envisioning her future daughter. Taylor is a tribute to her!
