Requirements for Embryo Donation through the Originating Clinic
Contact RTL if you are a current ReproTech cryostorage client wanting to donate your embryos through the clinic where you underwent your IVF procedures.
Many clinics which work with ReproTech for long term storage of their former patients' embryos, also have active embryo donation programs, and prefer to provide donation services "in-house". There are some advantages to this, the biggest being that the laboratory at the clinic should be very familiar with the cryopreservation system used to freeze and thaw your embryos, and thus have the possibility of a better outcome when compared to a laboratory which has not used that particular system before.
While we live in a relatively "transient" society today, donation at the clinic you used does increase the likelihood that any resulting children will be located nearer to you. You may view this as a positive, especially if the donation is an "open" donation and you wish to maintain contact with the recipient(s) and\or children.
As your embryos are being stored in a ReproTech facility and you have a cryostorage agreement with ReproTech, it is best to start the process with ReproTech who will then coordinate the transfer of your embryos back to the clinic for donation.
Keep in mind that you are responsible for storage fees until your embryos are transferred back to the IVF center. Additionally, depending on previous arrangements with the center, you may incur shipping fees.
