Day 5 blastocyst, post thawing, picture taken just a few minutes before embryo transfer. Such a beautiful blastocyst. Patient came back for Bhcg, and its Positive 🥳. A beautiful day indeed 😍❤️❤️❤️

[Kausy @EmbryologyInfo]

Today, 14 out of 16 embryos reached that stage. A strong developmental rate that reflects good embryo quality and lab conditions 🍀🍀🍀

[Kausy @EmbryologyInfo]

In IVF Lab, embryos are cultured for up to 5–6 days after fertilization. By Day 5, the goal is to see them reach the blastocyst stage. The point where they’re ready for transfer or cryopreservation/ freezing them for future use.

Happy Birthday @LouiseJoyBrown and Happy Embryologist Day 🍀🥳💐

@NoemiSalme30386 @ESHRE Patients arrive thinking EFP will solve all their fertility problems bc it is the narrative. I try to discuss numbers and probabilities and also desired family size #ESHREjc

[Claudia Massarotti, MD @maclaudiaa]

@NoemiSalme30386 @ESHRE Here is a helpful figure by Doye and colleagues that accounts for the number of children one may want https://t.co/PqvfCiixmK #ESHREjc

[Claudia Massarotti, MD @maclaudiaa]

@NoemiSalme30386 @ESHRE We found it useful to frame the issue like this: how many eggs give you the chances you would have if you tried spontaneously at the age of cryopreservation? https://t.co/qVCr8SSItb #ESHREjc

[George Liperis @GLiperis]

@NoemiSalme30386 @ESHRE It all depends on the angle we are looking at it from. From a cost-benefit perspective, the younger the age of EEF, the least likely to be utilised for treatment. But from a personal perspective of a patient that was unsuccessful treatment at a more advanced age? #ESHREjc

Q4: How can we effectively integrate age-related success rates of egg freezing into counseling practices? What are the key challenges in communicating these nuances to patients and the ethical aspects to consider? 🤔💬🧬

Q4 on the integration of age-related success data into counseling #ESHREjc
By @NoemiSalme30386

[Zoya Ali @zoyaalii_]

@DrPeate @Saara_riibeiro Absolutely, cost remains one of the biggest barriers, impacting not just if women freeze eggs but how they do it. How can we better address these financial hurdles to make egg freezing more accessible? #ESHREjc

[A/Prof Michelle Peate @DrPeate]

@zoyaalii_ @Saara_riibeiro And there are definitely socioeconomic barriers - in many countries cost limits ability to freeze and/or affects decisions such has whether to do more than one cycle.

[Zoya Ali @zoyaalii_]

@DrVEhrbar Absolutely agree 💯 EEF offers autonomy, but access still isn’t equitable. We need to address how affordability and cultural narratives can shape who truly gets to make that “informed” choice. #ESHREjc

[George Liperis @GLiperis]

@zoyaalii_ As long as the egg freezing is provided in an ethical way, with patients understanding their pragmatic chances & the chance of statistical uncertainty so that it serves as a ‘backup’ and not a guarantee, it should bring only benefits. #ESHREjc

[Zoya Ali @zoyaalii_]

Q3: What are the broader social implications of elective egg freezing ❄️ becoming more common 📈, particularly in relation to career planning 📝, societal expectations of motherhood 👩🏻‍🍼, and access across different socioeconomic groups? #ESHREjc

Q3 on societal implications of elective egg freezing 🥶 #ESHREjc
By @zoyaalii_

[Juanjo Fraire-Zamora @juanjo_fraire]

@DKalaitzopoulos @ESHRE AMH could be a good marker, but always considering it is only useful to predict response to ovarian stimulation (not egg quality), age, family history? Maybe new genetic markers? 🤔 #ESHREjc

[George Liperis @GLiperis]

@DKalaitzopoulos @ESHRE If we are talking about biological variables, then age related aneuploidy is the first one that comes to mind #ESHREjc

[George Liperis @GLiperis]

@DKalaitzopoulos @ESHRE The problem with social egg freezing the way I see it, is that majority of patients start enquiring about it once their ‘biological clock’ starts ticking, and for which the results might not be optimal #ESHREjc

[George Liperis @GLiperis]

@DKalaitzopoulos @ESHRE As it has been demonstrated time after time, there is an optimal window, at which aneuploidy rates are lower & as a result miscarriage rates drop & live birth rates increase #ESHREjc
