一名來自上海的高齡夫妻,期盼有個孩子多年,但太太高齡48歲,已到更年期,加上中國禁止捐卵,於是先生先來台灣冷凍精子,太太再來卵子庫借卵,歷經凍精、凍卵、凍胚胎「三凍」的過程後,順利產下一名試管女寶寶,是全球第五例。
照片中的女娃,安靜的躺在媽媽的懷裡,她的誕生,讓來自中國的夫妻激動不已,因為這一切都是得來不易。

其實他們一開始打電話過來,知道這邊登記借卵,可以很快排到,他們就很開心,不到一個禮拜從上海飛過來,趕快做登記辦理手續。
這對來自上海,年近半百的夫妻,期盼能有個孩子,但由於太太進入更年期,已無卵子,加上中國禁止借卵生子,兩人決定跨海來到新竹求卵。經過凍精、凍卵、凍胚,再植入太太體內,共三次冷凍過程,創下世界三凍寶寶第五例,也是全台首例。

全球第一例三凍寶寶出生在義大利,其他二三四例都是在中國,不過這幾例都是用自己的卵子冷凍,台灣的這例,是用捐卵借卵的方式。
兩夫妻盼了16年,總共花費50萬,終於在年前喜獲寶寶,未來不排除再跨海拼第二胎
A rare procedure carried out in Taiwan has brought great joy to a couple from Shanghai. The pair came to Taiwan seeking their first child and ended up with a baby girl after the cryopreservation of the husband’s sperm, a donated egg and the embryo. A doctor who helped with the procedure said this was only the fifth time worldwide that all three types of cryopreservation were successfully used.
This young girl, resting in her mom’s embrace, brought great joy to a couple from China. Her arrival wasn’t easy.

When they called here in the beginning, they were delighted to hear that they could register for and quickly receive a donated egg. Within a week they flew in from Shanghai to complete the necessary paperwork.
The couple faced many challenges. The woman is 48 years old and has already undergone menopause. With no legal avenue for them to have a baby in China because of a ban on egg donation, the couple sought assistance in Hsinchu. They ended up using a cryopreserved egg, and both the husband’s sperm and the embryo were also cryopreserved. It was the first time ever in Taiwan, and the fifth time in the world, that a child was born after all three stages of cryopreservation.

The first time a baby was born using three stages of cryopreservation was in Italy. The other three instances were in China, but these all involved using the mother’s own egg. This case in Taiwan involved the use of a donated egg.
Over the past 16 years, the couple figures to have spent about NT$500,000 trying to become pregnant. Now that they have their first child, they say they are open to the idea of having a second.
