To compare final embryo disposition between patients and donor oocyte recipients.
Retrospective study.
Private infertility practice.
PATIENT(S): Patients undergoing IVF with embryo cryopreservation.
INTERVENTION(S): None.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Final cryopreserved embryo disposition.
RESULT(S): A total of 1,262 patients using autologous oocytes had 5,417 embryos cryopreserved. A majority either used their embryos (39%) or continued storage (35%). Of 364 patients, who did not use their remaining 1,406 embryos, 77 (21%) donated 290 embryos to other infertile couples, 41 (11%) donated 160 embryos for research, and 246 (68%) discarded 956 embryos. Concurrently, 272 donor oocyte recipients had 1,233 embryos cryopreserved. A majority either used their embryos (40%) or continued storage (23%). Of 110 recipients that did not use their remaining 455 embryos, 62 (56%) donated 280 embryos to other infertile couples, 6 (6%) donated 31 embryos for research, and 42 (38%) discarded 144 embryos.
CONCLUSION(S): In our patient population, a higher proportion of patients with infertility ultimately used or stored their cryopreserved embryos for future reproduction compared with donor oocyte recipients. However, recipients were much more likely to donate to other infertile couples and less likely to discard their remaining embryos compared with patients.

无。
最终冷冻胚胎去向。
共 1262 例使用自体卵的患者有 5417 枚胚胎冷冻。大多数患者选择使用（39%）或继续储存（35%）。在 364 例未使用剩余 1406 枚胚胎的患者中，77 例（21%）将 290 枚胚胎捐赠给其他不孕夫妇，41 例（11%）将 160 枚胚胎用于研究，246 例（68%）丢弃 956 枚胚胎。同时，272 例供卵受者有 1233 枚胚胎冷冻。大多数患者选择使用（40%）或继续储存（23%）。在 110 例未使用剩余 455 枚胚胎的受者中，62 例（56%）将 280 枚胚胎捐赠给其他不孕夫妇，6 例（6%）将 31 枚胚胎用于研究，42 例（38%）丢弃 144 枚胚胎。
在我们的患者人群中，与供卵受者相比，更多的不孕患者最终选择使用或储存冷冻胚胎以进行未来生育。然而，与患者相比，受者更倾向于将剩余胚胎捐赠给其他不孕夫妇，而不是丢弃。
