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 Singapore allows infertile couples or singles to receive donated embryos created from a previous IVF cycle for implantation. This altruistic process helps build families and reduces the emotional and financial burden of undergoing multiple IVF attempts.
Donors remain anonymous, and recipients undergo thorough medical screening. The Ministry of Health regulates all donations to ensure ethical standards and adherence to Singapore's laws and guidelines.
