One common challenge for women undergoing egg freezing and IVF includes self-administered injections. Lee explained that the first part of the two processes involves 10 to 12 days of daily injections of fertility hormones.  

“Some people are concerned about seeing the needle going into their own body or worry that they are not doing it properly,” said Lee.

To allay patients’ concerns, Taylor offers a home-injection service where trained nurses go to the woman’s home to help her. It costs S$85 per visit.  

“Having someone professional doing it for you can give you a peace of mind, and in some cases, reduce couple friction,” Lee added.

Lee, who is married and underwent egg freezing last year at the age of 31 as part of family planning, said it is a stressful experience and wants to help other couples with it.

Taylor also offers the public a free app – Hey Taylor – with a range of services, including period tracking and alerts for abnormal symptoms based on certain clinical algorithms.

For example, if you experience period pain, heavy periods, or a combination of other symptoms, the app will send you a push notification with information about relevant conditions and suggest a medical consultation.

Beyond fertility, Taylor’s aim is to support women through major life transitions, from menstrual and sexual health through pregnancy and menopause.
