At a glance

Record actual embryo counts at each laboratory stage, pending reports and the questions needed to explain changes.

Use this record for this specific task

Copy counts from the issued laboratory reports and keep the stage labels used by that laboratory. Do not calculate an expected number from a generic conversion percentage. If a later report uses a different total, ask whether it concerns a different stage, a revised result or a subset. Keep pending results separate from a count of embryos with a completed report.

PGT embryo-count worksheet: track each laboratory stage. Use this blank worksheet to organise an enquiry and record answers from the responsible provider. It is not a completed customer case, actual quotation, clinical plan or confirmation that a service is available.

Before completing the worksheet

Use a separate copy for each provider or appointment. Record who supplied each answer and its date. Keep your own priorities separate from the provider’s written confirmation. A blank field means an answer is missing; it does not mean a service is free, included, appropriate or permitted.

Turn answers into a next step

  • Send the unresolved questions to the responsible team using its agreed communication route.
  • Ask whether any answer is provisional and what would change it.
  • Record the named organisation responsible for each action; coordination assistance does not replace that organisation’s decision.
  • Keep written inclusions, exclusions and change terms with the relevant appointment or quotation.
  • Confirm the next action before making commitments that depend on it.
