7、 Frequently Asked Questions and Answers

Is chromosome screening necessary?

It is not mandatory, but screening is strongly recommended for those over 35 years old who have had two or more instances of non implantation or miscarriage, which can reduce the early miscarriage rate to below 10%.

How many embryos are the safest to transplant at once?

The ASRM guidelines in the United States recommend a single high-quality blastocyst for those under 35 years old, single or double blastocysts for those aged 35-37, and a maximum of two blastocysts for those over 38 years old to reduce the risk of multiple pregnancies.

Does freezing embryos affect the health of children?

Multiple large-scale follow-up studies have shown that there is no statistically significant difference in birth defect rates between frozen embryo transfer offspring and fresh embryos, at approximately 2% -3%.

4. Do you need a translator?

The top 5 hospitals are equipped with Chinese medical staff or translators, and medical documents are presented in both languages; If a court level translator (such as insurance claims) is needed, a certified translator can be hired separately, which costs about 60-80 US dollars per hour.

5. Does the male party have to travel together?

The man only needs to arrive on the day of egg retrieval, and arrive 3-5 days in advance to ensure sufficient semen samples are kept; If unable to arrive, freezing and air freight can be completed locally, and the size of the transport tank needs to be reported in advance.
