Take a 40 year-old woman as an example. Is it possible to receive a gift sent when 33 years old? The answer is Positive! The gift with late arrival is a pair of twins.

Isn’t this surprising? How could this happen?

For modern female, a dream of acquiring a balance between successful career and an attending family life is not that easy to fulfill.

The cover story of iVie 36 is quite impressive. It was the fourth year of our egg freezing service. A 33-year old single women from Shanghai froze her eggs for insurance. Egg freezing provide a chance for independent women to chase their dreams. She got a pair of twins years after, and we can’t imagine what it would be if she didn’t make that bright decision.

Presuming that she didn’t preserve 23 eggs at that time, at the age of 40, it’s likely that she would need to undergo the oocyte retrieval for at least 3 times. The cost might be triple with worse outcome. With the mature technology of ART, why do people still pay for useless treatment? None of the women aged over 43 would say YES to using the donated eggs. Why?

I have asked the question about “egg freezing” to a celebrity who did 22 oocytes retrievals. She said that she had actually heard of it 10 years ago. However, she didn’t have a boyfriend by then, and having a baby was not in her plan yet. Little did she know, she met the right person while she was 40. The urge of having her own baby instead of using the donated eggs cost her millions of dollars.

3 concern of egg freezing:

1. “I’m not sure if I will need these eggs in the future.”

This concern is actually unnecessary, especially for women aged over 35. For example, you might get married at the age of 38, and conceive at 39. After the child is born and resting for 1 year, your age comes to 40. If you want to get the second baby, you have to face the reality that successfully getting pregnant would be extremely hard. According to our experience, for women aged over 40, you need two attempts of IVF, which also imply that the cost would also be two times. However, if you did preserve your eggs at the age of 38, you would have a chance to get a better result.

2. “I’m concern about the post-thaw survival rate.”

According to our record in 2019, we thawed 9,869 eggs, and 9,403 eggs survived. The overall survival rate is 95%, fertility rate is 75%, and the good blastocyst rate is 61%. Of course, rare cases with relatively low survival rate (under 60%). However, it only takes 4%. In another words, 96 out of 100 clients has pretty good outcome!

3. “The cost.”

What if the cost of egg freezing is just a bit higher than the price of an iPhone? Would you rather exchange your iPhone or half of your monthly salary to a fertility insurance? Even if you are not planning to have a baby for now, there’s no guarantee that you won’t need it in the future. After reading the story in iVie 35, shared by one of our client from Japan, you will be impressed by her determination. Many of these Japanese clients have undergone IVF over 10 times before coming to our center.

To the reader of this article, you might still be young and single for now. Egg freezing might just an option for you “Nice to Have”. However, when your aged over 40, this would be something “Must to Have” if you want to have this happiness.

Please consider preserve a chance of happiness to the future you. Also, always be positive about yourself and believe in the hope of fulfilling the dream of having your own family.
