[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was lightly sedated during egg retrieval process, but DH was there, and I do remember that there was this very deliberate process in which staff person 1 called [my name] staff person 2 read and called out [my name] staff person 3 did same, and showed labeled containers to DH. Same process for DH sperm retrieval. When we did embryo implantation, another round of multiple people reading and confirming names and labels. This was 20 years ago. So, people have long figured out a way to QC this process. No excuse. Families should absolutely sue.[/quote]

We did the same as you on our IVF journey; did it together to try to really make more about us and maybe remove some of that feeling of being in a “process” or procedure (which in reality, I guess it is).

But I noticed there was one difference in our process for DH sperm retrieval; we went into the room alone, locked the door, DH followed the instruction poster and I made sure he wrote all the information correctly on the little plastic cup. But then, there was a small metal door (which I assume was connected right to the lab), and I just placed the cup in there and closed the door.  No one read anything out, let alone several people reading it, as in your case.

Now I am second-guessing that part.  I’m not going to run out for a DNA test (lol), but that part was somewhat different.[/quote]
