Egg Freezing Clinics in Thailand

Who it is for and why age matters

People freeze eggs for medical reasons, such as before cancer treatment, and for personal reasons, such as wanting to keep the option of a biological child later. ESHRE's guideline on female fertility preservation covers both, including freezing because of age-related fertility decline.

Age at freezing is the main factor in how useful the eggs are later. The American Society for Reproductive Medicine says egg freezing tends to work best for people in their 20s to early 30s and is not commonly recommended over 38. It also warns that freezing can give a false sense of security that leads some people to delay further.

How many eggs, and realistic expectations

The number of eggs collected varies from person to person and cycle to cycle. The HFEA says most patients under 38 have around 7 to 14 eggs collected in a cycle, and that collection may not be possible for people with a low ovarian reserve. Some people need more than one cycle to store the number their specialist suggests.

Each egg has a modest chance of leading to a baby: ASRM puts it at roughly 2 to 12 per cent, falling with age at freezing. When eggs are used, they are thawed and fertilised by ICSI, so the later IVF cycle is a cost in its own right.

Eligibility in Thailand

Thailand's assisted reproduction law, the Protection of Children Born from Assisted Reproductive Technologies Act B.E. 2558 (2015), limits treatment to legally married couples as enacted. Clinics take different positions on freezing eggs for single women, and using those eggs later to create embryos falls under the same law.

A revised bill was put out for public consultation in July 2026; as reported, it would extend access to married same-sex couples and allow export of eggs, sperm and embryos with committee approval. It had not been enacted at the time of writing. Ask each clinic, in writing, whether you can freeze eggs there, and on what conditions you could later use them in Thailand or elsewhere.

Costs: the cycle, storage and using the eggs

Think of the cost in three parts, as ASRM does: the freezing cycle (consultation, tests, medication, monitoring and collection), storage each year, and the later cost of thawing, fertilising and transferring. Ask for each in writing, as many packages cover only the first part and perhaps a first period of storage.

• Stimulation medication, and the cost of any dose above the allowance
• Monitoring scans, egg collection and anaesthesia
• Freezing, and how many years of storage are included
• Annual storage fee after the included period, and whether it can rise
• Thawing, ICSI and embryo transfer when the eggs are used

Storage terms and the end of storage

Storage rules differ by country and clinic. In the UK, for example, eggs can be stored for up to 55 years but consent must be renewed every 10 years, and the HFEA stresses keeping your contact details up to date so the clinic can reach you. Do not assume the same terms apply elsewhere.

Ask the clinic for its written storage agreement before you start. It should say how long eggs can be stored, how fees are billed and reminded, what happens if you miss payments or cannot be contacted, and what options you have at the end: using, donating where the law allows, or discarding the eggs.

Moving eggs to another country

If you may want to use your eggs abroad, check this before you freeze, not afterwards. Export of eggs from Thailand is regulated, and the 2026 draft bill proposes committee approval for it. Ask what is required today, who arranges shipping in specialist containers and whether the receiving clinic and country will accept them.

The HFEA also points out that a home-country regulator cannot help if something goes wrong with treatment abroad. Ask for copies of your records, including how many eggs were frozen and how, and find out how complaints are handled.

Laboratory questions

Eggs are more delicate than embryos to freeze. The HFEA notes that vitrification (rapid freezing) is more successful than the older slow-cooling method. Ask which method the laboratory uses, what proportion of eggs survive thawing, and how stored eggs are labelled, monitored and protected if equipment fails.
