Real Journeys, Protected Identities
Every story here reflects a real category of transfer we handle regularly. Identifying details — names, exact dates, specific clinics — have been changed or removed.
Our embryos had been waiting in a UK clinic for over a year while we tried to plan the Tehran side of things ourselves. Once Embryo Links took over, the documentation moved faster than we expected, and the WhatsApp updates on collection day meant we weren't sitting there wondering what was happening.
We were nervous about the export permit process from our clinic — it felt like a lot to manage alongside everything else. The courier coordinated directly with our clinic's regulatory team and kept us updated at every stage, right through to delivery confirmation in Tehran.
What stood out was how little we had to think about once the courier took over. No X-ray at any airport, a clear explanation of what was happening at each stage, and our specimens arrived exactly as they left — still frozen, still ours.
Planning a transfer across three countries felt overwhelming at first. Embryo Links explained exactly which documents our clinics needed to prepare and handled the rest — we didn't have to become logistics experts overnight, which is what we were worried about.
Our sperm sample needed to move between two clinics on short notice, and we didn't have much lead time to arrange it. The courier confirmed a collection window within the day and kept the whole thing straightforward from our side.
A stem cell unit we released needed continuous temperature control and no room for delay. The digital temperature log we received on delivery gave our transplant team exactly what they needed to sign it off without question.
As a receiving clinic, what we care about is chain of custody and documentation that's actually correct the first time. Embryo Links' couriers arrive with everything prepared — the export paperwork, the No X-Ray letters, the customs release — and our embryologists carry out dual-witness verification with them at handover exactly as it should be done. We've had no incidents and no missing paperwork across every transfer we've coordinated together.
