Are you considering fertility preservation? You might want to hear about Singapore's recent decision to increase the age limit for elective egg freezing.
An embryologist shows an Ovocyte after it was inseminated at the Virginia Center for Reproductive Medicine, in Reston, Virginia.
This decision comes after a review of both local and international research showed that the success rates of egg freezing and subsequent usage of frozen eggs remain stable for women up to 37 years old.At present, the egg freezing procedure is only allowed for women with medical conditions, such as cancer, who want to preserve their fertility. In March 2022, Singapore allowed women aged 21 to 35 to freeze their eggs for non-medical reasons, regardless of their marital status.
With the new changes, women aged 21 to 37 can undergo elective egg freezing in Singapore. However, only legally married couples will be able to use the frozen eggs for procreation. CNA reported that the Minister of State for Social and Family Development and Home Affairs, Sun Xueling, said during a doorstop interview on Monday that she hopes the two-year increase in the age limit will allow more women to pursue their 'marriage and parenthood aspirations' and support more couples in starting families.
