Shipping Frozen Embryos from one clinic to another

Post by hima »

Hello All,
Has anybody shipped their frozen embryos from one clinic to another?
I have some frozen embryos at a particular clinic - but I am now moving to a different state. I wanted to know whether it is safe to ship them; or could this shipping cause issues to the embryo?

Anybody with any experience on this - if you can reply back to this- I would really appreciate it.

Thanks a lot.

Not embryos, but we did move sperm from one clinic to another. The clinic lent us a large thermos type container that was temperature controlled and it was not a problem. Can't be that different for embryos.

Not done it myself but know people who have and no problems at all - one went on to conceive twins at the very next attempt. They are in thermostatically controlled chambers and will no nothing about it!
Good luck
