WHAT WE KNOW

Understanding egg transport

Two practical, evidence-based reads covering the essentials — how the transport process actually works, and what changes when you cross borders.

Moving Frozen Eggs Internationally

International egg movement is more common than people realise, but it does need careful planning: different fertility laws in each country, import and export licences, customs paperwork, airline approvals, and the simple fact that not every country allows the same things to be done with eggs once they arrive.

How Are Frozen Eggs Moved Between Clinics?

If you've decided to move your frozen eggs to a different clinic, the first question is usually the same: is this a big risk?

The good news is that moving frozen eggs is a well-established process,  however like everything in life it is not 100% risk free.
