So my RE planted a seed...and now I have been dwelling on an irrational sperm swap fear ">
When we discussed our IUI he said, "and don't worry, our lab is very careful to make sure that the sample your DH provides is the sample you get back for the procedure", or something along those lines.
Umm...thanks? I never thought for one second IT WOULDN'T be DH's until you brought it up! It's sitting there in the back of my head now and keeps popping up.
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.

LOL Oh I so forgot about this from the first time we did IUI and got pregnant with our son. But yes, I had a similar irrational fear...and only AFTER they said something LOL! However our son is a spitting image of both me and DH so they did their job lol.
.Became a mama to my sweet little boy after 3 years of waiting and praying in October '12.
Miscarried twins from our first IUI cycle. D&C on August 14th, 2014
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.
IVF #1, Stimmed for 12 days, ER 8/22/14, 9 retrieved, 7M, 7F!! Freeze all due to fluid in uterus.
FET end of October 2014 cancelled due to fluid in uterus due to possible c-scar defect
Surgery scheduled 12/12/14 to fix possible isthmocele
3/26/15 transferred one 8 cell grade 4 embryo and one 6 cell grade 3 embryo = slow rising betas for 2+ weeks = ectopic MTX shot 4/29/15
Repeat c-scar surgery June 2015
2nd and last IVF cycle August 2015, stimmed for 12 days, 2 egg retrieved, both mature and both fertilized. Transferred both 8-cell embryos on Day 3, beta 9/5/15 = BFFN

I don't know ours' process yet until later in my cycle. I hope they have something similar!
Well now I have a fear that I never considered. Haha.
Would never have crossed my mind!

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.

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 ;-)
