Embryos without conclusive genetic diagnosis or unbalanced diagnosis will be considered non-viable embryos with transfer discouraged. The medical indication for treatment is determined on my/our case: (check all that apply) Structural chromosomal abnormalities. Risk of transmission of disease linked to sex chromosomes (X or Y). Carrier of chromosomal translocation. Screening for aneuploidy or alterations in chromosome number. Risk of transmission of monogenic diseases. Other causes:. Possible risks that may result from a clinically inappropriate maternity age, both for women during treatment and pregnancy and for the offspring.

I/we wish to generate a LIMITED NUMBER of embryos, as a consequence of the insemination or microinjection of. (number) of oocytes, assuming the obligation to freeze viable embryos not transferred. The rest of the oocytes shall be: O Vitrified O Discarded I/we wish NONE OF THE EMBRYOS not to be transferred is generated, so that I/we authorize the insemination or microinjection of up to... (number) of oocytes. The rest of the oocytes shall be: O Vitrified O Discarded 9) That the disposition I/we wish for the potential oocytes and/or remaining frozen preembryos would be (check all that apply): Own use, namely use by the couple, the wife or, where appropriate, the female partner.
