We have followed your instructions on your consent form regarding any eggs and embryos not suitable for freezing.

The storage of frozen embryos is limited to ten years under the Human Assisted Reproduction Technology (HART) Act 2004. An application to extend storage can be made to the Ethics Committee on Assisted Reproductive Technology (ECART) at least 6 months before the 10 year period ends. Please remember to keep in contact with [clinic] and to tell us of every change of address so we can keep in touch while you have embryos, eggs or sperm stored.

You still have frozen sperm stored for the option of future treatment.

If you have any questions about this summary of your recent cycle, please feel free to contact us and we will arrange a suitable time to call and discuss this with you in more detail.

We wish you the very best.

Yours sincerely ...
