[quote=Anonymous]I did it.   Easy -- as long as the receiving clinic will accept it.    The sending clinic gathers up its lab records and sends them along, including its freezing process.    The receiving clinic may have its own shippers, or you can rent shippers from a third party like Cryoport.

I think the reason that some clinics will not accept embryos from other clinics is that they don't want to be seen as responsible if you don't get pregnant from those embryos.   As I understand it, the creation of the embryos is a much more important part of the process than the thaw.

Also, for embyros from donor eggs, you need to make sure you have paperwork showing the donor was tested under FDA requirements for diseases.

By the way, unless there is something wrong that I don't know about, I am now about 17 weeks pregnant from an embryo created at Shady Grove and shipped to SIRM-NY (Sher).    Sher allowed me to do a natural cycle FET (which SG would not), did light immune treatment, and checked on a few other things.   [/quote]
