More than 2,000 frozen eggs and embryos stored at a Cleveland-area fertility clinic may no longer be viable after temperatures in a storage bank rose over the weekend. The only way to find out if the samples are still viable is to thaw and implant them, the hospital told the Cleveland Plain Dealer. “We are currently looking at what specimens existed in that gradient,” Liu told WKYC. “Our fear is a significant number of embryos and eggs have been compromised.”Each vial contained two to three eggs or embryos from each patient. “Some of the eggs and embryos that were stored date back decades,” DePompei told WKYC.
