What the procedure involves.
Egg freezing (oocyte cryopreservation) in China uses the same vitrification techniques and equipment as top Western fertility centers. The ovarian stimulation and egg retrieval process is identical to IVF, but eggs are frozen for future use instead of being fertilized. China's leading reproductive centers have extensive experience with vitrification, achieving high post-thaw survival rates. Note: Chinese regulations currently require marriage for IVF treatment, but policies for egg freezing vary — confirm current requirements.
Step by step.
Fertility Assessment & Consultation
Baseline hormone testing (AMH, FSH, estradiol), antral follicle count via ultrasound, and general health evaluation. The specialist explains the stimulation protocol and expected egg yield based on your ovarian reserve.
Ovarian Stimulation & Egg Retrieval
Daily hormone injections for 10-14 days stimulate multiple eggs to mature. Regular monitoring via ultrasound and blood tests. When follicles are ready, eggs are retrieved under sedation via transvaginal ultrasound guidance.
Vitrification & Storage
Retrieved eggs are immediately vitrified (flash-frozen) using advanced cryopreservation techniques for maximum survival rates. Eggs are stored in liquid nitrogen tanks at the fertility center, with annual storage fees applicable.
- 60-70% cost savings compared to US egg freezing programs
- Same vitrification technology and equipment used in top Western clinics
- High egg survival rates with modern vitrification techniques
- Annual storage costs are significantly lower in China
- Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is a risk during stimulation
- Not all eggs survive the thawing process — more eggs frozen = better future chances
- Chinese regulations around egg freezing for unmarried women may vary — confirm eligibility
- Long-term international storage logistics should be planned in advance
