The term “elective egg freezing” is used to describe the process of storing eggs for women who wish to delay childbearing, due to non-medical factors such as career commitment, financial instability and relationship status.
When the woman is ready to use her frozen eggs in future, she will be required to undergo an Assisted Reproduction (AR) procedure namely, Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI), which involves the injection of a sperm directly into an egg. The resultant embryo (fertilized egg) is then placed in the womb to achieve a pregnancy. The present law in Singapore requires that the woman must be married before undergoing any AR programme.
You may consider this procedure if you are aged between 21 and below 38 years of age and are not yet ready to conceive. EEF can be done regardless of marital status.
