Frozen egg success rates rely on different variables such as age, egg quality, freezing technique, embryologist expertise, and the sperm's quality. Typically, the egg quality at a younger age is better than at an older age. Females who froze 15 eggs before 35 years old attempted a 70-80 per cent opportunity of having a live birth. 20 additional frozen eggs, will scale their chance up to 90 per cent.
Last year, China recorded its lowest ever birth rate, of 6.77 births per 1,000 people. Some provinces have already made changes to their rules to boost birth rates. Jilin in northeastern China, which has one of the lowest birth rates in the country, modified its rules in 2002 to permit single women to access IVF but it has had little impact with the practise still banned nationally under the country's National Health Commission.
Gone are the days when women were pushed to have children before they were 35 years old. Today, an increasing number of them are opting for a late pregnancy due to their careers or simply because they are not ready.

Working mothers and fathers are financially secure and able to offer a good life for their children since they have established careers.
Cancer treatment can damage the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, and cervix that are involved in reproduction.

The panel experts deliberate on how the pandemic and new technology intervention will have long-term implications.
