no news of my own.
but on my UK board, a woman who chose not to freeze the only good emby she had - thaw rates too low there - has been told one of the poorer embies "came good" so two were frozen after all. but they'd donated them to research, now she doesn't know if they're "hers" and is upset coming off a failed cycle.
meanwhile, on my Australian board, a woman at another clinic - not mine, thank God - has had her embies "accidentally" thawed. they cancelled a FET cycle but forgot to tell the embryologists. one was refrozen but now she's going back onto stims. I thought they were supposed to be CAREFUL with those frosties? it's a very large clinic, too.
the moral being, I suppose, to maintain as much control as possible under all circumstances. if they don't ask your birthdate, make them (to avoid the wrong records being used). if you're unsure about the way it's being done, question it. if you don't like the blood test date you have, at least try to insist on another. we're infertile, not fools.
