Risk in Practice: The Embryologist’s Frontline Safeguards
When it comes to fertility treatments and IVF, embryologists are often seen as the final line of defense, the protectors of patient specimens who ensure that all patient materials are handled with precision. But as Amanjot Grewal (Scientific Director, Pinnacle Egg Bank) emphasized during the Cryogovernance® VIII webinar, safeguarding reproductive materials is not only about technical skill. It’s about systems. It’s about governance. And it’s about recognizing that even the most diligent embryologist cannot mitigate risk alone.

Managing Risk at Scale with Lessons from Network Laboratories
For modern IVF clinic networks, growth is both a measure of success and a new source of complexity. Expanding to multiple clinics and laboratories enables providers to reach more patients and offer consistency in care, but as these networks scale, so do the challenges of maintaining standardization and safety with full traceability across every site.

Celebrating World Fertility Day by Honoring Every Journey
Each year on November 02, the world comes together to recognize World Fertility Day, a moment dedicated to raising awareness and encouraging dialogue, supporting everyone on the path to building the family they’ve been dreaming of. For some, that journey is straightforward. For others, however, it can involve years of determination and resilience as they navigate medical treatments. No matter where you are on your path, World Fertility Day is a reminder that you are not alone, and an entire global community of doctors, professionals, advocates, and families who have navigated this journey themselves (or who are navigating this journey at the same time) stands beside you.

Ask the CryoStork®: Storing Now, Shipping Later
Ask the CryoStork®: Can I store my embryos, eggs, or sperm and ship them later? Many intended parents store reproductive materials for months or even years before they’re ready to move them to a clinic or begin their next steps. Whether you’re pausing treatment, changing clinics, or planning for future family-building, storing your reproductive materials is both common and safe when handled with proper systems and care.

Redefining Risk in IVF and Why Cryogovernance® Matters
Reproductive medicine is evolving faster than ever. The demand for in vitro fertilization (IVF) has surged across continents, driven by expanded access and new technologies as well as greater global mobility among patients. But that same growth has amplified the challenges (and risks) facing IVF programs worldwide. The truth is that IVF success today depends as much on safe, reliable cryostorage and transport as it does on laboratory technique. Yet as laboratories scale operations and manage increasingly complex storage networks, the systems in place to protect those sensitive materials haven’t always kept pace.
