Eggs retrieved after ovarian stimulation and vitrified — flash-frozen in glass-like state — holding your fertility at today's age for years. Chinese reproductive centres have some of the world's largest vitrification experience, because the technique was scaled in China's enormous IVF programmes.
| Option | Best suited for | What it means in practice |
|---|---|---|
| Vitrification after antagonist stimulation | The standard | Post-warm survival above 90% in published Chinese cohorts. |
| Urgent stimulation protocols (cancer pathway) | Diagnosis to chemo window counted in days | Chinese centres run fast-track preservation before oncology starts. |
| Ovarian tissue cryopreservation | Pre-pubertal or urgent cases | Offered at selected centres; experimental-to-established transition. |
| Typical China cost (reference only) | US$3,000–5,000 per retrieval cycle; annual storage roughly US$200–400 |
|---|---|
| Typical in-hospital stay | Outpatient; ~2–3 weeks door-to-door for one cycle |
| Return-to-travel timeline | Fly home 1–2 days after retrieval; storage continues remotely |
Costs are indicative ranges for international self-pay patients at major Chinese hospitals; final quotes depend on the hospital, implant/medication choice and case complexity. WellVoyage locks a written all-in quote before you commit.
The domestic price of a maybe. Vitrification in Shanghai — one stimulation, 16 eggs, a third of the cost — and her countdown clock now runs on her schedule, not her savings.
A breast-cancer diagnosis at 29 and an oncology timeline measured in days. Fast-track fertility preservation in Guangzhou: stimulation started mid-cycle, eggs frozen ten days later, chemo on schedule.
A career with no maternity window in sight. Vitrification after antagonist stimulation in Beijing; post-warm survival rates above 90% in published Chinese cohorts made the decision feel like insurance, not a gamble.
A relationship that ended and a biological clock that didn't. Eight eggs frozen in one Shanghai cycle; her future options now include the one fertility takes first.
Personal timing, respected and private. Egg freezing in Beijing with discreet coordination and halal-certified catering throughout her short stay; her reproductive future is now hers to schedule.
A surgical career ahead of her and a decade of training before family fits. One cycle, twelve eggs, minus-forty-nine degrees of certainty about an otherwise open-ended question.
The choice between not-now and not-ever ended in a Shanghai laboratory. Urgent-protocol stimulation, ten eggs vitrified; whenever she is ready, so are they.
Indefinitely for practical purposes — vitrified eggs show no deterioration in published cohorts over 5–10+ years of storage. Chinese cryobanks store under continuous monitoring with documented chain-of-custody.
General guidance: ~15–20 frozen eggs gives a strong chance of one live birth at a younger freeze-age. The Chinese centre's own age-specific data informs your plan — WellVoyage shares it in writing before your cycle.
Chinese national rules currently restrict elective egg freezing for unmarried women without a medical indication; medical indications (e.g., before gonadotoxic therapy) are fully supported. WellVoyage confirms your eligibility status with the centre before any planning.
