IVF CRYO

Indiana-based company urges patients and clinics to ask better questions and demand safer options for transporting reproductive tissue
FISHERS, IN - January 2, 2026 - IVF Cryo, LLC, a leading provider of reproductive tissue transport, is raising awareness about the critical importance of safe, specialized cryogenic shipping for embryos, eggs, and sperm. In a statement inspired by their recent spotlight feature titled "IVF Cryo and the Business of Protecting Future Families", founders Don and Ed Fish are calling on both fertility clinics and patients to be more informed, ask direct questions, and prioritize safety over speed or convenience when it comes to transporting frozen reproductive material.

"We're not just moving tanks-we're moving future lives," says co-founder Don Fish. "Every shipment we handle could one day become someone's child. That deserves more than a sticker and a tracking number."

The Need for Safer, Smarter Fertility Transport

Assisted reproductive technology (ART) is on the rise. According to the CDC, more than 330,000 ART cycles are performed in the U.S. each year. With more people relocating, freezing eggs earlier in life, and changing clinics mid-treatment, the demand for safe reproductive tissue transport has grown-but standards haven't kept up.

Many patients still rely on general couriers or untrained providers who don't specialize in fertility logistics. IVF Cryo is urging patients and clinics to understand the risks of temperature failure, shipment delays, and lack of handling expertise.

"We've seen horror stories-tanks held up in customs, packages left out overnight," Fish explains. "This isn't something you can afford to get wrong."

Why IVF Cryo Is Speaking Up Now

IVF Cryo, originally founded in California in 2018 and now operating out of Fishers, Indiana, works directly with both individuals and fertility clinics to transport reproductive tissue across the U.S. and abroad. Their mission-"Protecting Future Families"-is more than a tagline. It reflects their approach to every shipment.

"We had one patient tell us they didn't sleep for three days while their embryos were in transit with another provider," Fish recalls. "When they came to us for a second shipment, we kept them updated the whole time. It's about trust."

Their business has grown steadily, thanks to partnerships with top clinics and a direct-to-patient model that emphasizes transparency, communication, and peace of mind.

Red Flags to Watch Out For

IVF Cryo is encouraging people to ask more questions before scheduling a shipment. Some warning signs they recommend looking for include:

*
Lack of cryogenic specialization

*
No temperature monitoring or validation

*
Limited communication during transit

*
No clear point of contact for questions or emergencies

"If your shipper doesn't know what's inside the tank-or why it matters-that's a problem," Fish says. "And unfortunately, we still see that too often."

What You Can Do

Whether you're a patient moving your tissue or a clinic helping someone navigate their options, IVF Cryo encourages taking simple, informed steps:

For Patients:

*
Ask who is handling your transport and whether they specialize in reproductive tissue.

*
Request temperature control details and what protocols are in place.

*
Get clear timelines and points of contact during shipment.

*
Don't assume your clinic has picked the safest option-ask.

For Clinics:

*
Vet your transport partners regularly for safety, tracking, and client communication.

*
Educate patients on what to expect, and support them in choosing qualified providers.

*
Avoid defaulting to general-purpose couriers. The risk is too high.

"The biggest thing people can do is speak up," says Fish. "Ask what's happening to your embryos. You have every right to know."
