Animals that are produced using Embryo Transfer (ET) and Cloning are not eligible for inclusion in the herdbook. Although such technologies can be effectively used in a thoughtful conservation plan with carefully selected matings, indiscriminate use can have a disastrous effect on a gene pool as tenuous as the Randalls'. Over nearly two decades, Randall breeders have been following a breeding protocol proscribed by Dr. Phil Sponenberg. See similar questions...

Whether you transfer in the fall or spring, you should be able to receive the same quality service. See similar questions...

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) publishes an annual report on Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) statistics in the United States. The information is self-reported by participating fertility clinics. The most recently published report, from 2002, indicates that the live birth rate for transfer of frozen embryos created with non-donor eggs is 28%, and when the embryos were created with donor eggs it is 38%.

The cryopreservation process does not appear to adversely affect birthweight, perinatal mortality rates, birth defects, growth or health of children during infancy and early childhood over children born from fresh IVF transfers. However, the long term affects of cryopreservation over a lifetime have not been studied extensively in humans, and since this technology is only about twenty years old, most of the children whose parents utilized cryopreservation are still in the process of growing up.

The Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) process using donor embryos is the same as the FET process using your own embryos. This is referred to as Donor Frozen Embryo Transfer (DFET). The procedure can be performed during a medicated or unmedicated cycle. Some clinics prefer to do a mock cycle first to ensure that you will respond appropriately to any medications used, and that they can insert the catheter through the cervix without incident.

It seems to work, at least in a selected group of good prognosis patients. In this group (about one quarter of all couples) where the female partner is young (<35 yrs), possibly has been pregnant before and who are undergoing their first IVF attempts and where good quality embryos are available, the elective transfer of a single embryo leads to very acceptable pregnancy rates, similar to the ones in control patients undergoing double embryo transfer.
