Ask the CryoStork®: Can You Ship State to State?
Ask the CryoStork®: What if my clinic or storage facility is in another state? Can you still help? For many intended parents, the IVF journey involves more than one location. Your embryos might need to move from the clinic where they were created to another clinic for transfer, or into or out of a long-term storage facility. If those locations aren’t in the same state (or even in the same region), it’s natural to wonder how this impacts your selection of a reproductive transport partner. At Cryoport Systems, we’re here to make this easy for you. In fact, this is exactly what we do every day.

What ISO 21973 Certification Means for Your Fertility Journey
For families navigating complex fertility journeys, it can feel like an endless maze of providers and options, and every detail matters.

This process is one that you rarely see, but moving these sensitive materials with care and compliance is essential to the success of your treatment. Cryoport Systems has achieved ISO 21973 certification, the highest global standard for transporting living cells. And when it comes to something as personal as your dreams for your future family, this level of compliance matters.

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.

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.

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.
