ASRM Today: Gamete and Embryo Document Update with Dr. Jennifer Kawwass and Dr. Anne Stiener

In this episode, we are joined by two experts in reproductive medicine, Dr. Jennifer Kawwass and Dr. Anne Steiner, to discuss the recently updated Gamete and Embryo Donation document. This update was aimed at providing clear, easy guidelines and addressing concerns from the LGBTQ+ community. The doctors explain the challenges and goals of the update and highlight the need for a more gender-neutral language. They also clarify the differences between FDA recommendations and ASRM rules and emphasize that the document's structure is repetitive and consistent, making it easy to navigate. Finally, they discuss some of the changes in the new guidelines, such as a shorter quarantine period for directed sperm donation and the clarification of reciprocal IVF. Tune in to learn more about the updates to this important document.
