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.
