Because such profit-driven egg donor agents are completely unregulated, their unethical and exploitative business practices pose a substantial risk to IVF patients.

Singapore now permits egg donation by export of Husband's frozen s***m sample overseas to a foreign fertility clinic, which are used to fertilize donor eggs. The embryos produced are then frozen and imported into Singapore, for transfer to the patient in a local fertility clinic.

Good News for all Singaporean IVF patients requiring Egg Donation !!!

Singapore has permitted import of frozen donor eggs from Egg Bank Asia, based in Penang, Malaysia. This Egg Bank has a wide and excellent choice of Chinese race egg donors. Currently there are 3 clinics in Singapore, which have either imported frozen donor eggs for their IVF patients from Egg Bank Asia, or are in negotiations to do so. These are as follows: (i) Alpha IVF Singapore, (ii) Centre for Human Reproduction at NUH, and (iii) Mt. Elizabeth Fertility Centre.

Website: https://www.eggbankasia.com
Phone number: +60-12-579-2006
WeChat ID: EggBankAsia
Email: [email protected]

However, before importing donor eggs into Singapore, patients should note the following:

(1) Transportation of frozen donor eggs into Singapore is very expensive. Due to COVID-19 pandemic situation, the only method of import is by air-travel, land transport through the Causeway is prohibited. Current quoted cost of import through courier service: USD$1,800. The current cost of frozen donor eggs are as follows:

Known Egg Donor - USD$1,300 per frozen egg (Minimum order of 8 frozen eggs)

Anonymous Egg Donor - USD$1,000 per frozen egg (Minimum order of 8 frozen eggs)

(2) It is much cheaper to do the egg donation process in Penang (Malaysia), rather than import frozen donor eggs into an IVF clinic in Singapore. Egg Bank Asia is closely affiliated with Island Fertility Centre based in Georgetown Penang. They offer the following packages:

Entire IVF package with 8 frozen donor eggs, including medical fees - USD$ 11,500

Entire IVF package with fresh egg donation, including medical fees - USD$ 16,500

(More expensive because more than 8 eggs usually obtained from young healthy donor, typically 15 to 20 eggs per cycle)

(3) An older women can afford to wait for egg donation, unlike IVF with her own eggs. The womb (uterus) does not age as fast as her ovaries. Why not wait out the pandemic, to enjoy cheaper costs of IVF treatment at Island Fertility Centre in Penang (Malaysia), which is closely affiliated with Egg Bank Asia?

(4) For best results, it is better to do Egg Donor IVF at Island Fertility Centre in Penang (which is closely-affiliated with Egg Bank Asia), rather than importing frozen donor eggs into Singapore. Avoid using frozen donor eggs that are transferred from an egg bank. If possible, use the IVF lab that is affiliated with that egg bank. This is because the thawing protocol must be matching and compatible with the freezing (vitrification) protocol, and only the same IVF lab that performs both the freezing and thawing processes, can ensure this. Also beware that IVF success rates with frozen donor eggs are significantly lower than with fresh donor eggs.
