1. Some people discard extra embryos due to the high costs of freezing and storage, not just the initial fees but also long-term expenses.
2. Ethical or religious beliefs may lead couples to opt against freezing embryos, preferring to create only what they intend to use.
3. Concerns about the legal and moral responsibilities of storing embryos can deter people from choosing to freeze them.
4. Fertility decline or reaching the end of childbearing years can make storing embryos seem unnecessary or impractical for some.
