One of the dozens glowing reviews on Taylor’s website describes the service as a ‘sparring partner’ in the egg-freezing journey, a title its co-founder Eve Lee wears with pride, for according to her, “you don’t want to be sparring with your medical provider or partner on this.”
A deeply personal venture for both of its co-founders, Eve Lee and Dr. Rachel Chin, Taylor is the first MOH-licensed fertility platform in Singapore offering fertility testing, egg-freezing and IVF options, telehealth and at-home care, and ultimately, an experienced, guiding hand amidst the complexities of the fertility journey. Built upon each of both founders’ dual experiences as patient and provider in the fertility landscape, Taylor aspires to be the ultimate ally for women navigating the same sphere.
Below, the service shares its top five tips for anyone embarking on a fertility journey.

Seek emotional support
Determining the right time to have children is a deeply personal decision, which is why the fertility journey can be as strenuous emotionally as it is physically. Therefore, it is vital to look out for your mental wellness and ensure you do not feel alone. Do not underestimate the power of a nurturing support network of family, friends, and Taylor’s compassionate counsellors, whose expertise in navigating these complex emotions can guide you through this journey when you require a more professional brand of support.
Get to know yourself
Facing your wants and desires is a hulking task, and a good way to begin is by recognising your history and thinking about your future. In addition to your own medical history, look through your family history for conditions that complicate natural conception, such as blocked fallopian tubes or early menopause, and consider your future with Taylor’s most intimate, and possibly most important service—family planning. According to the founders, many women make the mistake of only planning for their firstborn, even when they have not planned on stopping at one child. Secondary fertility, which is when individuals who had no problem conceiving their first child face challenges when trying for a second, accounts for 50 percent of infertility cases, and early family planning helps you make sure that your options are open.
Explore your options
As with any important choice, it is vital to examine your options before making a decision. With a handpicked network of partner clinics across Asia, experts that know exactly what to look for, and a concierge that takes care of clinic communications, Taylor provides you a sea of options while relieving you of the stress of doing it by yourself.
Get a personalised experience
Even after weighing your options, choosing a suitable fertility specialist and clinic—the most critical step in your fertility journey—can still be challenging. As both former patients and IVF clinic staff, the team at Taylor knows from their own experiences what to look out for, and seeks to nurture a comfortable environment for you, where every treatment is highly personalised and every concern is heard.
Act now
Many individuals beginning their fertility journeys do not recognise just how crucial timing is when it comes to egg freezing, and surveys have shown that many egg freezers regret not doing it sooner. However, Taylor understands that this hesitance is only natural, as the decision to freeze one’s eggs is a delicate balance of age-related factors, financial considerations, and family planning. Understanding your own fertility health and the nuances of egg freezing can make this less daunting, and it’s not too early to begin. Even if you are undecided about your family building timeline, a free consultation today with Taylor can help you take the first steps to owning your reproductive future.
