Storage consent

Your written agreement about keeping frozen eggs, sperm or embryos.

Clinics, laboratory & costs

Storage consent covers how long your frozen material may be kept, who may use it, and what happens if you separate, become unable to decide, or die. Storage continues only while fees are paid and consent remains valid, so keep your contact details up to date with the clinic and respond to renewal letters.

Also known as: consent to storage, embryo storage agreement
