Ep 101: Fresh versus Frozen: How This Impacts the Creation of Genetically Normal Embryos with Dr. Chelsea Canon

Today we are joined by Dr. Chelsea Canon to discuss her latest abstract entitled “Reproductive Outcomes in Single Euploid Embryo Transfer Cycles is Independent of Whether the Embryo Originated from a Fresh or Cryopreserved Oocyte”. Dr. Canon will be presenting this research at the upcoming American Society for Reproductive Medicine Expo but feels it is important to share it with patients too. Our guest is a third-year fellow in reproductive endocrinology and infertility at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City and Reproductive Medicine Associates in New York. As more and more women are using eggs that were previously frozen, this has enabled the collection of data that we can use to help people make more informed decisions when deciding on how to preserve fertility. In this episode, Dr. Canon explains the difference between freezing eggs and freezing embryos and whether or not it matters if you use frozen or fresh eggs when creating embryos. If you have questions when it comes to fresh versus frozen, tune in today!
