Embryo quality and documentation drive outcomes and reduce repeats. This guide shows how to prepare scientifically and administratively for transfer in New York.
PGT‑A and Embryo Strategy
When clinically appropriate, PGT‑A may help identify euploid embryos and reduce failed transfers or miscarriages.
- Discuss with your REI to decide if PGT‑A aligns with your history.
- Balance age‑related risk, embryo count, and goals.
- Document grades, day of freeze, and biopsy notes.
Vitrification & Storage
Modern vitrification preserves embryo potential when executed by experienced labs with consistent SOPs.
- Chain‑of‑custody and labeling accuracy.
- Tank monitoring and alarm systems.
- Transport protocols for inter‑clinic shipments.
FDA‑Registered Partners & Documentation
Use FDA‑registered clinics and tissue establishments and keep your paperwork spotless for audits and legal filings.
- Collect lab certificates and FDA registration numbers.
- Retain infectious disease results and consent forms.
- Track storage invoices and transfer consents.
Reducing Repeat Transfers
Success isn’t just biology—it’s logistics and documentation. Close administrative gaps to avoid preventable delays.
- Synchronize medication calendars early.
- Confirm embryo shipping windows and contingencies.
- Double‑check legal & insurance readiness prior to scheduling.
An intended mother with limited embryos opted for PGT‑A after counseling. One euploid embryo was transferred with synchronized timing and robust documentation—resulting in a healthy term birth on the first attempt.
