Age limit for women in S’pore to opt for elective egg freezing, donation to go up from 35 to 37 in July
– The age limit for women to freeze their eggs to preserve their fertility will be raised from 35 to 37 when elective egg freezing starts in Singapore on July 1.
Minister of State for Social and Family Development Sun Xueling announced the change during a visit to the KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital in-vitro fertilisation centre on Monday afternoon. Ms Sun said there is now “sufficient confidence” to raise the age to 37 after looking at medical research and speaking to assisted reproduction practitioners.
A review of medical evidence has shown that success rates from using eggs from women older than 37 continue to fall, said a press release by the Ministry of Social and Family Development and the Ministry of Health on Monday.Ms Sun said the age limit of 35 is aligned with the age limit for egg donors, which is also 35.
