INTERVIEW: Is it too late to freeze eggs at 43 with one daughter?

Background: Y is a career woman who used to hold important positions in two Internet companies. She is now 43 years old, and with only one daughter, she always feels unsettled and worried about her child’s safety, and is also not too satisfied with her current marriage, so she is a bit anxious, plus many of her relatives and friends around her are unable to get pregnant, and she learns that we are senior insiders in the reproductive healthcare sector in the United States, Japan and Hong Kong, and she wants to learn more about it.

Y Q: What countries are you doing now?

A: We mainly do research on IVF organizations in the US/Asia, and surrogacy management.

Because of our previous professional background, we found that many organizations only recommend some of the clinics, and the fact that many of our guests had different results from their ovulation, which led to a delay in having embryos ready for transfer. So, we recruited staff who had worked in IVF clinics in the US, Japan and Hong Kong, and at the same time researched the three countries with the highest number of IVF cycles in the world, such as the US with more than 400 clinics and doctors, in the hope that we could help to the greatest extent possible.

Y Q: Which are the three countries with the highest number of IVF cycles in the world?

A: China, the United States and Japan. Actually, China has the highest number of cycles, that is, the number of cycles with IVF or egg freezing and ovulation promotion, and the 4th place is Russia. Since Russia is not very flexible in terms of fertility policy, we won’t talk about it here.

Y Q: What are the highest cycle counts in China, the United States and Japan?

A: Yes, China has the largest population and the greatest demand; Japan is a country with fewer children; and the United States is very popular as a medical research country.

Y Q: Why is it that there are more and more people around me who are having trouble getting pregnant, and there is more and more demand for IVF and such?

A: It has to do with our living conditions, stress and increasing demands. There are mainly the following categories of people in need

1. High stress in work and life and unstable endocrine hormones lead to poor egg quality and difficulty in getting pregnant.

2. Sub-healthy immunity decreases and organ-based diseases increase. Why is this?

Those who have watched the video of Lu Guangrui, the mother of China’s IVF babies, will know that Lu once said, without exaggeration, that she did ultrasounds on a lot of girls and found that they all had a lot of poop on their asses, and that such hygiene would inevitably lead to illness. –This is why more and more people are choosing wipes for wiping their asses.

Then there is insufficient hygiene in sexual intercourse, especially for girls to protect their reproductive organs. Modern people have poor subhealth resistance, and once there is a gynecological-related disease, it will go down the vagina, reach the cervix, then the uterus, and go straight up to reach the uterus and the ovaries that produce eggs. Therefore, whenever one reproductive organ is sick, it will affect the other reproductive organs, resulting in decreased fertility.

3. People with congenital infertility.

In addition to this, there are various needs.

4. Not wanting to carry twice, more and more people are choosing twins

5, chromosomal abnormality probability is getting higher and higher, repeated miscarriages, fetal stop more and more people, choose test tube to avoid taking the stomach again to try.

6. Genetically inherited diseases, or genetic mutations have to choose IVF. We have encountered couples to find out genetic problems, thinking that their parents genetic, the results found that the parents do not carry disease-causing genes, is the couple’s later life.

7. Young people wish to freeze their eggs early and rationalize their work and fertility schedules.

8. Direct in vitro and surrogacy for those who don’t have time or don’t want to get pregnant on their own.

9. Singles or families who want to choose a boy or a girl

10. Single men or women who do not want to get married and want to buy sperm, or eggs.

11. Same-sex families

12. Married people who have had embryos done in preparation for having children and incidentally freeze their eggs again to give themselves a way out.

13. Married people who are not satisfied with their present marital status and freeze their eggs to give themselves a way out.

14. Improve family genes and choose highly knowledgeable boys and girls from Harvard-Yale, 211 and 985.

…… and so on, and slowly we will realize that people are becoming more open-minded and demanding for more and more reasons.

Y: Wow, there are also married, then go to freeze eggs ah. There is also the improvement of family genes ah, really opened my eyes.

A: In fact, it depends on the person’s cognition, in the eyes of most Chinese people, this industry is very difficult to talk about. In fact, very often, just too little cognition of their own.

Y: So how much does it cost to buy sperm?

A: Not much, within 60,000 yuan, boys once ejaculated several hundred million tadpoles, in fact, the most valuable, or women’s eggs.

Y: How much does a girl need?

A: Harvard Yale and the like, 40 to 80,000 dollars compensation, RMB about 560,000 or less. 211, 985 girls, between 20 to 35 million.

Y: What about surrogacy? How much is surrogacy?

A: Look at the country. For example, the mainland three hospital doctors test tube and surrogacy is more expensive, about 60 to 1 million between, almost more than 500,000 can be taken down; the United States only surrogacy is 14 to 200,000 U.S. dollars; there are some small countries in Eastern Europe, the medical conditions are not so good, the price is relatively cheaper, only the surrogate 36 to 450,000, 450,000 mostly.

Y: What should I do if I want to freeze my eggs?

A: There is no need to freeze eggs in your 40s, freeze blastocysts

Y: Why?

A: As an example, someone in their 30s freezes 30+ eggs and only ends up with 4 blastocysts ready for transfer. We are already in our 40s and our eggs are half-finished, unlike frozen blastocysts which have a recovery rate of close to 98%. The probability of egg resuscitation folding is higher, but also through the thawing and resuscitation, fertilization, the third day embryo, and then the fifth day blastocysts, just one link after another to break through the barrier, and in the end, there may not be much left, coupled with the chromosomal probability of high in the age of 40 or so, it is very worrying that even if a lot of freezing, and in the end, is a cartwheel. So, to freeze you should go early. This is also the reason why the Singaporean government has stipulated that the age of egg freezing should not be greater than 37 years old.

Y: Well, I’d better think about it and freeze the blastocysts first. Can I go to Hong Kong or Japan?

A: I won’t know until I get the medical report. Although we also have to Japan or Hong Kong 1 time, or 2 times the IVF package, but some people are young, but the ovaries young has been very big, almost close to menopause. In this case, we do not recommend to do it in Japan or Hong Kong, unless the guest is willing to carry himself (later want to surrogate, the embryo can not be transferred), then you can go to one of our designated Japanese clinics.

If your medical report is not provided, we cannot tell which country, or which clinic and doctor you should prefer to visit.

Y: Do you have the medical report to know where to go?

A: Yes. Everyone’s body is different and the suitable protocol for ovulation is different. If the clinic is selected in advance, it is equivalent to selecting the ovulation program.

If this ovulation protocol doesn’t match the guest’s physical exam results and body, it’s easy to get sidetracked.

Y: Why the detour?

A: There are many different types of ovulation promotion protocols, including extra-long and long protocols, long protocols, short protocols, antagonists, luteal stimulation, natural cycles, microstimulation, and enhanced microstimulation.

Based on what we know about most clinics and doctors, and the real results of patients. Most clinic doctors specialize in only 1, or 2. Or even if they specialize in 2, they don’t choose based on the guest’s situation. If you choose the unsuitable one, you are giving away money for nothing, and odds are you will fail and need to start all over again. That’s why the medical report is important!

Y: Wow, what a learning experience, how do you guys know so much.

A: We have encountered all kinds of guests, and each time I do a full physical examination, in-depth knowledge and records of their bodies to determine and analyze the reasons for their failure and success.

For example, with the same sex hormone profile and follicle count, a girl with ovarian-related disease using the same ovulation regimen will have a much different outcome.

Then there is the young girl with an abnormal sex hormone six and lots of basal follicles, but the final rate of cyst formation is just not high.

And so on, tons of guest examples that inspire us and it’s important to take the road less traveled!

Y: Thank you thank you thank you, it’s so awesome that you guys will still read the medical report.

A: When you’ve seen thousands of different results from different people, or the same people, you slowly learn from experience.

Okay, I’ll think about it and go ahead and freeze a sac.

In fact, in our experience, Ms. Y is just curious, but we are willing to take the time to talk to those who are willing to learn, in the hopes that we can all have this kind of self-fertility planning and awareness.

Instead, nothing is understood and by the time it’s really needed, it’s too late.

Thanks for reading this and I hope everyone or every family is happy and fulfilled.
