What happens when IVF success leaves you with more embryos than you ever planned for?
In this episode of Taco Bout Fertility Tuesday, Dr. Mark Amols tackles the emotional and practical side of “extra embryos.” He explains why the U.S. system often pushes patients to create as many embryos as possible — and how cost, culture, and regulation shape that pressure.

You’ll learn the pros and cons of mini-IVF, selective fertilization, and egg-only freezing, and why “more” isn’t always better when it comes to embryo creation. Dr. Amols also breaks down five crucial questions to ask your clinic before you start stimulation, so your IVF plan aligns with your values, not just your clinic’s routine.

Whether you’re planning your first cycle or staring at a freezer inventory you never expected, this episode helps you find the balance between success, cost, and peace of mind.
