EGG / Embryo Pooling

What Is Egg or Embryo Pooling?

Egg or embryo pooling is a fertility strategy where multiple cycles of egg retrieval are performed over time to collect a higher number of eggs or embryos before embryo transfer. This approach may be done with eggs alone or with fertilized embryos, and is especially useful for women with low ovarian reserve or advanced maternal age.

Why Consider Pooling?

Pooling helps increase the number of available embryos, which may improve the chances of a successful pregnancy. It also allows better selection of healthy embryos, including chromosomally normal embryos through PGT-A when recommended, and can reduce the time gap between failed embryo transfer attempts.

Types of Pooling

1. Egg Pooling: Eggs are retrieved and frozen unfertilized through vitrification. Later, the eggs are thawed and fertilized to create embryos.
2. Embryo Pooling: Eggs are fertilized after each retrieval cycle, and the resulting embryos are frozen for future transfer.

Who Can Benefit?

Egg or embryo pooling may be recommended for women over 35, patients with diminished ovarian reserve, couples who have experienced poor embryo development in previous cycles, or those who want to maximize the number of embryos before embryo transfer.

The Process & Benefits

The process involves consultation, repeated ovarian stimulation cycles, egg retrieval, and pooling over two to four cycles before fertilization and embryo transfer. The key benefits include improved pregnancy chances, better embryo selection, and reduced emotional stress from repeated failed individual cycles.
