  So I think that is one of the questions they must get asked a lot- for my IVF they always tell me- "and you know we triple check that they are your embryos we will be placing back in you!" And had they never said that I would have never gone through 9 months carrying DD wondering if there was a chance she was going to come out another race? Especially after seeing some epidisodes of Private Practice. Lmbo- I think that has to either be the biggest backslap reassurance but I think they might be legally required by their legal department to say that. Doesn't help, but it seems standard in all instances of IF help.

  January 2007- Stop BCP! Let's DO this!
  June 2010- MFI. BS. IVF! Ectopic. BS.
  
  November 2010- FAILED FET! BS!
  January 2011- BFP FET! TWINS! February 2011- lost twin. BS.
  
  SEPTEMBER 2011- DD Born! Most awesome girl in the world!
  November 2013- FAILED FET! BS! (screw you November FETs)
  April Fresh Cycle, FAILED. Frozen embryos frozen for future FETs.
  FROZEN CYCLE JUNE! BFP
  BABY BOY VINCENT!

  Yes I do worry about this, my office has procedures like when you drop off they give you a sticker with a color and I usually watch them put the sticker on the specimen and then when they come to do the IUI the catheter has the same color sticker and they also ask to see my sticker to make sure it mathes, but I still worry especially last cycle when DH's numbers were much better than normal and I kept thinking they must have the wrong one.

  TTC#1 May 2009- July 2010 on our own with no luck

  Started with RE in August 2010, dx with unexplained IF and then finally our 3rd IUI cycle using Follistim and Trigger resulted in our wonderful little man.  Born 12/2/11

  TTC#2 Never really prevented, but were careful early on as Dr. reccomended

  Surprise BFP 12/16/13, started progesterone immediately as first numbers came back low, but betas were good.  Progesterone wasnt enough. Natural MC 12/24/13.

  Back with RE as of January 2014...

  5/27/14- Chemical Pregnancy

  April 2015 IVF#1

  5/13/15- BFP, please stick LO!

  Oh and I'm a major Harry Potter Nerd

  I don't know ours' process yet until later in my cycle. I hope they have something similar!

  This is one of my biggest fears about this whole process. Glad I'm not the only one.

  We made big jokes when I was pregnant with DD.  My sister had a baby 6 months earlier and her DH is half Phillipino, so we sent her picture to my DH's friends that were giving him a hard time as the announcement...  They were very quiet for a while until we let thim in on it being a joke.

  IUI#3 BFP, DD 5/31/2012

  Ok, this is funny, because the only other couple getting an IUI today was a male of a different race, so DH and I were joking in the room that if they mixed it up, at least we'd know right away ;-)

  It looks like timezones on my time stamp of my posts may have been confusing since I often post before bed :-) It was the morning of Wed 7/2 :-)
