Stage 7
After the cycle
- The Full Tank. Eggs and embryos stored, patient gone quiet.
Eggs and embryos sit in your tanks for years while the patient goes quiet.
“I have embryos frozen. I'm not ready to decide.”
WHAT GOOD LOOKS LIKE
Every stored specimen has an owner, a renewal date, and a patient who heard from the clinic this year.
HOW GROWTHOS CLOSES IT
Keep records what each patient has stored, reaches out on anniversaries and renewal dates, and gives patients a secure link to decide what comes next. It pauses after a loss and logs every touch.
52.5%
of US fresh IVF cycles that froze embryos never had a later frozen transfer.
Christianson et al., F&S Reports, 2020.
5.7%
of egg-freezing patients came back to use their eggs within 5 to 7 years.
Lee et al., Am J Obstet Gynecol, 2025.
39%
of patients with stored embryos report high conflict over what to do with them.
Lyerly et al., Human Reproduction, 2011.
Modules in this stage (4)
What each patient has with you
Eggs, embryos, sperm or tissue for fertility clinics, prepaid packages and memberships for other specialties: what each patient has, where it is kept and when it renews or expires. Imported, entered by hand, or added when an invoice is paid.
Storage and return outreach
A note before storage renews or a package expires, and a check-in on the schedule you choose. Paused after a known loss until a person reviews.
A private link for every patient
Opened with a date of birth check, it shows what is being kept for the patient. One tap asks your team to talk about using it, and the request lands on the Requests tab.
Results you can publish
Patients reached, links opened, requests made and patients who came back, logged touch by touch in a structure built for publication.
