Oocyte/Embryo Thawing - How to Enter Cryo Material Into Lab Notes

 

You may enter cryopreserved material into any Lab Notes - IVF, FET, Donor Recipient, or Surrogate Recipient Cycles.

How to Thaw Oocytes

From a cycle in Lab notes go to the Oocyte Thaw tab. 

To thaw oocytes: 

1. Insert the Thaw Date.

2. Click on the oocyte grade from the list of Oocytes in Cryostorage portal. To thaw more than one oocyte, click each individually to move them to Thawed Oocytes.

Oocytes in the Oocytes in Cryostorage portal will be moved to the Thawed Oocytes portal:

 

Click on the Grade at Cryo of the specific thawed oocyte to open the Pop-up Menu to provide a Thaw Grade. To enter insemination, semen source and disposition make these selections from the lab notes tab then the other entries will display on the oocyte thaw tab.   Select from the drop-down to fill out the insemination details. 

 

(Note: if you wish to "reverse" the process and return the thawed oocyte to the Oocytes in Cryostorage portal, simply click the Vial number).

 

The thawed oocytes are displayed in the Lab Notes tab as well.
