Some patients may produce more embryos (fertilized eggs) during in vitro fertilization (IVF) than they require. The additional embryos could be cryopreserved (frozen) in order to transplant them at a later time. These embryos, however, might not always be put to use. These patients can choose to have their embryos discarded, given to research, or given to another woman to help her conceive.

Embryo donation in Egypt involves the process of donating excess embryos created during IVF treatment to infertile couples. These embryos are screened before transfer for genetic abnormalities.
Egyptian law allows anonymous donations, but recipients must agree on sharing limited medical information with the donor.
