RSMC Dec. 19 Webinar | Expert Q&A & Family Stories

Busy schedules and local fertility laws have led some Asian families to explore fertility treatment overseas. Some families choose to complete fertility testing, egg retrieval, sperm collection, or embryo freezing in Asia before exploring treatment options in the United States, including IVF, donor egg or sperm treatment, and gestational surrogacy.

While this approach may offer greater flexibility, successful coordination requires careful planning around international transport, laboratory requirements, medical evaluations, and applicable regulations.

To help families understand their options, RSMC will host an online webinar on December 19 (Saturday), 8:00–9:00 PM Taiwan time. Experts from the U.S. and Taiwan, along with a family sharing their personal experience, will discuss cross-border fertility treatment, treatment options, and real family-building journeys.

Why Choose RSMC? Integrated Care for Cross-Border Fertility Treatment

When fertility treatment spans multiple countries, coordinating medical evaluations, laboratory procedures, specimen transport, and future treatment plans can become complex.

RSMC’s One System approach brings together fertility care and supporting resources to help families navigate their options with greater clarity and coordination.

01 | One System: Integrated Fertility Resources

Located in San Diego, California, RSMC brings together an IVF center, an egg bank, an embryology laboratory, and resources for third-party reproduction, including gestational surrogacy. The medical team coordinates treatment evaluation, embryo development, PGT-A, embryo transfer, and related arrangements.

02 | Prepare in Asia, Continue Treatment in the U.S.

Families who cannot stay in the U.S. for extended periods may discuss completing certain tests and procedures in Asia before evaluating the feasibility of transporting sperm, eggs, or embryos to the U.S.

The right approach depends on preservation methods, specimen condition, laboratory requirements, transport conditions, and applicable laws. Both medical teams must confirm the arrangements.

03 | Options Tailored to Each Family

Every family has different medical needs, fertility histories, and schedules. Whether using their own eggs and sperm, donor sperm, donor eggs, or considering surrogacy, families can discuss suitable options with their medical team.

04 | Multilingual Support

Clear communication is essential when navigating medical care across borders. RSMC offers consultations in Chinese, English, Japanese, and Cantonese. Medical interpretation can also be arranged for in-person appointments to help international families understand their treatment options.
