Egg storage rules in Kuala Lumpur

Eggs are frozen and used as per the directions of the patient and when no longer required, the patient must give written consent as to what is to be done with the left over eggs or embryos. The clinic must keep a record of this consent and act accordingly.

Eggs frozen at a Kuala Lumpur clinic can be transferred to a different city of country, if required. If you are considering changing clinics domestically after freezing, confirm the transfer process and any associated costs with your clinic before you commit.

Eggs can only be fertilized in Malaysia using a husband's sperm; if you intend to use donor sperm, you will need to complete that step at a clinic outside Malaysia.
