1. Real Breakdown of Egg Freezing Costs in China for 2026
In China, egg freezing falls under the category of assisted reproductive technology, primarily targeting women with medical indications or health management needs. In 2026, the cost of egg freezing at正规 domestic reproductive centers mainly consists of the following parts, which are transparent and predictable overall.
- Pre-treatment physical examination fee: 3,000 to 5,000 RMB, including hormone panel six, AMH anti-Müllerian hormone, B超 follicle count, infectious disease screening, etc. Prices vary slightly among top-tier hospitals in different cities.
- Ovulation induction medication fee: 10,000 to 20,000 RMB. This is the core part of cost fluctuation. There is a significant price difference between imported and domestic medications. The older the age and the lower the ovarian response, the higher the dosage required, and the cost increases accordingly.
- Egg retrieval surgery and laboratory operation fee: 12,000 to 18,000 RMB, including egg retrieval surgery, anesthesia, embryo laboratory egg processing, and vitrification freezing.
- Embryo freezing and first-year storage fee: 6,000 to 10,000 RMB, covering freezing technology and the first year of liquid nitrogen tank storage.
- Subsequent annual storage fee: 2,000 to 4,000 RMB per year, renewable annually.
Overall, the total cost of completing a full egg freezing cycle in China in 2026 is approximately 35,000 to 55,000 RMB. This fee does not include subsequent steps such as thawing, fertilization, and transfer if the eggs are used for IVF later. It is important to note that egg freezing in China requires medical indications, and there are still policy restrictions for single women in some regions. It is recommended to confirm local regulations with a正规 reproductive center in advance.
2. Real Comparison of Overseas Surrogacy Costs for 2026
