Abstract

Oocyte cryopreservation has great promise for applications in oocyte donation and fertility preservation and for decreasing the number of unused cryopreserved embryos. The Practice Committee has and will continue to review the published medical literature relating to oocyte cryopreservation at regular intervals and is prepared to reconsider its position when evidence warrants.
