Who should I speak to if I have questions about my embryos or reproductive tissue?
If you have any questions about your biological materials, contact us. Our expert embryologist team can thoroughly answer your questions and address any concerns.
Cryostorage involves preserving eggs, sperm, embryos, or ovarian tissue at extremely low temperatures, typically using liquid nitrogen or specialized freezers. This process helps maintain the integrity of these cells for extended periods of time. Cryopreserved tissue can be saved for future use. At Regional Fertility Program (RFP), we can walk you through the cryopreservation and storage process so you can grow your family on your own timeline.
What are my options when I no longer wish to continue storing my embryos, eggs or sperm?
Patients can choose the following options:
Discard
If you no longer wish to store your biological materials and would like to discard them, here’s how you proceed:
