Talking Guest: Ms. Z, single, living in Beijing, wants to freeze her eggs in Hong Kong.
Topic: Egg freezing cost in Hong Kong, people in Beijing or in Hong Kong for checkups, if you live in Shenzhen about how many days you need to stay, how many days you need to stay in Hong Kong during the ovulation promotion or not, is there a detailed process for egg freezing? The cost, cycle, examination, egg collection, freezing fee. How to calculate the cost if you want to transfer the eggs later. Does a cycle mean: all processes including medical checkup and ovulation together? If I miss my period now, will the data from the checkup deviate a lot? Can I have an ovulation induction right away on my next menstrual period? If medication is prescribed, can I not return to the clinic during ovulation induction? How long before my period do I have to make an appointment for the first consultation? What is the payment method?
cost
The cost of egg freezing in Hong Kong is usually around HK$108,000, and the storage fee is about HK$14,000 per year, and the Hong Kong government stipulates that it can only be stored for 10 years (the average person can’t store it for that long, and most people store it for 3 years and then use it).
medical check-up
Here’s what to check before freezing your eggs
1. Sex hormone six (check on the first to third day of menstruation)
2. Thyroid TSH (checked on the first to third day of menstruation)
3. Ultrasound: sinus follicle count (AFC) and ovarian/uterine condition (on days 1-4 of menstrual bleeding).
4. AMH
5. Vitamin D
6. Thyroid TSH
(sth. or sb) else
7. Blood group and rhesus factor
8. Blood routine
9. Risk of infectious diseases
German Measles (Rubella) Virus Antibody
Hepatitis B Virus Surface Antigen and Antibody Tests
C Surface Antibody Test
Syphilis Spirochete Antibody Test
HIV Antigen Antibody Test
If you have missed your menstrual cycle, you can check items 4 to 9 in mainland China first, and then go to the Hong Kong clinic to meet the doctor and check items 1 to 3 after your menstrual blood flow according to the appointment time (the results of the tests are very different in non-menstrual cycles, so the tests must be done in the first three days of your menstrual blood flow).
It is important to note here that: according to the requirements of Hong Kong’s policy, in vitro fertilization and egg freezing ovulation promotion treatment must be preceded by the results of the infectious disease examination, and only after the results meet the requirements can injections be prescribed for treatment. Therefore, in order to have a successful ovulation induction treatment during the menstrual cycle, it is necessary to complete the 4 to 9 items of examination in advance in mainland China. The 1st to 3rd tests belong to the routine tests for ovulation induction treatment, and the results are usually available on the same day, so you can wait for the first consultation to check them together.
Of course, if we can do it in advance in the Mainland, we should try to do it in advance in the Mainland, 1) it is cheaper in the Mainland, and 2) there is a report at the time of the first consultation, and the doctor can have a basis to help us assess the effectiveness of the treatment, and this can also shorten the duration of our stay in Hong Kong.
ovulation induction therapy
It is generally recommended to stay in Hong Kong for a full 14 days (during which time you will return to the clinic about 5 times and your medical visa can be renewed) or return to the Hong Kong clinic on your return visit.
Minimum number of visits to Hong Kong clinic: 2. The first one is for the first visit (to sign the consent for treatment) and the second one is a few days before the egg retrieval to stay in Hong Kong until the end of the egg retrieval for about 7 days. However, this is generally not recommended and very few doctors recommend it. This is because several blood draws to monitor the sex hormone six, and ultrasound to measure the size of the follicles are required in the middle of the process, and the results may be skewed if the doctor and equipment are changed.
Appointment for first visit and treatment
With the medical report, you can make an appointment by providing your Hong Kong and Macau Travel Permit (preferred) or passport, and your cell phone number.
Appointments are usually made on the 2nd or 3rd day of your period. If your period is not on time, you can discuss with your doctor whether a temporary change is feasible, and it is usually okay to have an advance report. If you make a provisional appointment a few days in advance, you may not be able to get a good doctor’s appointment.
Egg transfer
If there is a need for transshipment at a later date how does this work?
If you are not sure you want to transfer your eggs at the moment, you can store them in Hong Kong first. When you need to transfer, you can choose the country and clinic you want to transfer to. The approximate additional costs are
1. Hong Kong clinic transit administration fee, about HK$10,000
2. Bio-forwarder fees, about $6,000 if shipping to the US.
3, U.S. clinic fees, generally transferred to the U.S. DY, the U.S. clinic will charge 18,500 U.S. dollars.
4. US FDA infectious disease sampling, generally 9,000 to 18,000 HKD.
payment method
Most clinics support credit cards or CUP swipes.
