Egg Freezing in Bangkok Thailand

Is egg freezing in Bangkok safe and reliable?

Yes, it is highly reliable. Bangkok's top fertility centers operate under strict medical guidelines and many hold JCI (Joint Commission International) accreditation, which is the gold standard for global healthcare. They utilize **Vitrification**, the same advanced freezing technology used in top US and European clinics. This method prevents ice crystals from damaging the eggs, resulting in thaw survival rates of over 90-95% in high-quality labs.

How much does egg freezing cost in Bangkok?

The average cost for an egg freezing cycle in Bangkok typically ranges from **$4,000 to $7,000 USD** (approximately 140,000 - 250,000 THB). This usually includes doctor fees, monitoring, the retrieval procedure, and the first year of storage. Medications can add another $1,000 - $2,000 depending on your body's needs. In contrast, the same process in the US often costs $15,000 to $20,000 USD excluding meds.

How long do I need to stay in Bangkok?

You should plan to stay in Bangkok for approximately **10 to 14 days**. The process begins with ovarian stimulation injections (which start on day 2 or 3 of your menstrual period) and continues for about 10 days. You will have regular ultrasound scans to monitor follicle growth. Once ready, a trigger shot is given, and egg retrieval happens 36 hours later. You can fly home 1-2 days after the retrieval procedure.

Can single women freeze their eggs in Thailand?

Yes, single women are legally allowed to freeze their eggs in Thailand for fertility preservation. However, it is important to note that under current Thai laws, **using** those eggs later for IVF/ICSI in Thailand generally requires the woman to be legally married to a male partner. Laws can change, but currently, many single women freeze eggs in Thailand for the quality and cost, with the understanding that future regulations or transport options will dictate usage.

What is the best age to freeze my eggs?

Medically, the optimal age is typically between **late 20s and early 30s** (specifically before age 35). At this age, egg quality and quantity are usually high, leading to better survival rates and future pregnancy success. While you can freeze eggs after 35 (up to early 40s), the number of viable eggs may be lower, potentially requiring multiple cycles to bank enough eggs for a realistic chance of pregnancy.

Is the egg retrieval process painful?

The egg retrieval itself is not painful because it is performed under **sedation or mild general anesthesia**. You will be asleep for the 15-20 minute procedure. Afterward, you may experience some mild cramping, bloating, or spotting, similar to menstrual cramps. Most women feel well enough to resume normal (non-strenuous) activities the next day.

How are the eggs stored and are they safe?

Eggs are stored in liquid nitrogen tanks at -196°C. Reputable clinics in Bangkok have sophisticated monitoring systems with 24/7 alarms and backup power generators to ensure the tanks remain at the correct temperature regardless of external conditions. The vitrification process essentially "pauses" the biological time of the egg, meaning an egg frozen for 10 years will have the same quality as the day it was frozen.

How many eggs should I freeze?

The recommended number depends on your age. For a woman under 35, doctors often recommend freezing **10-15 eggs** to have a high probability (85%+) of at least one live birth later. For women over 35, the recommendation might increase to 20 or more eggs due to natural decline in egg quality. Your specialist in Bangkok will provide a personalized target based on your ovarian reserve tests (AMH level).

Do the doctors speak English?

Yes, English proficiency is extremely high among fertility specialists in Bangkok. Many of them have completed fellowships or residencies in the United States, UK, or Australia. You can expect your consultations to be conducted in clear English. Furthermore, the nursing staff and international coordinators at major medical tourism hospitals are fluent in English, ensuring you fully understand every step of the process.

Can I transport my eggs back to my home country?

Yes, it is generally possible to transport cryopreserved eggs to another country, though it requires specialized medical courier services and adherence to import/export regulations of both Thailand and your home country. Many patients choose to keep their eggs stored in Thailand due to the low storage fees and simply return to Thailand if/when they are ready to use them for IVF.
