This actually terrifies me. Can anyone give me a summary of how this would have happened? UGH. Half of me wants to know the story, and half of me can't bear to watch it. Oh, I just hope and pray this never happens to anyone else...

They never really said how the switch happened. And the doctors/clinic was never identified. Apparently, the woman who carried the baby has a book out about it too.

I'm watching it right now- I've definitely cried a few times already! I feel so bad for them. Their book is called "Inconceivable" if anyone is interested.

I saw the preview for that yesterday and it freaked DH and I out way too much to actually watch it!

We have good reason to be worried though. This was our first doctor: http://www.ottawacitizen.com/news/Ottawa+fertility+doctor+face+professional+discipline+hearing/7238984/story.html


My Ovulation Chart
TTC with MFI and poor ovulation since 03/11
TCM and progesterone supplements
Early loss in 08/11
MFI Dx in 03/12 Low count, low motility, poor morphology and high levels of anti-sperm antibodies
Treated with supplements and TCM. Much lower on all factors. Count too low to test for anti-bodies
Met with new urologist 11/12
IUI #1 12/12: Letrozole + Gonal-F = BFN
DH started Clomid 01/13
New SA shows 33 million sperm! Thank you Clomid!!!
Discovered I am hypothyroid 04/13 waiting for specialist appointment
Hoping to try IUI again in July?

Well I'm always up for self punishment soooooo, it's loading on the nook right now. I can't imagine how hard that was for them. Hard isn't even a justifiable word for that situation. DH was watching with me, we caught the last 20 min. I asked him if that happened to us and it was caught early would be want me to carry it. His answer was, well if it would help out the other couple then yes. Well for this to happen they would have to be in the same situation as us so of course it would help them. Neither of us would want to keep the child but the thought of carriying, birthing, and then giving away, I don't know how you do that. I have a huge amount of respect for them. I truly believe in karma and for these people karma came back around for them giving an amazing gift to someone else.

 This story was on before because I remembered watching it...probably on a morning show. It was a mix up on the last names...both were Salvage. The one who didn't carry still had her maiden name on file. I would of been so mad. Both very nice couples....I couldn't even imagine.

MH and I just watched it. What a crazy story!  It was just heartbreaking to watch. The whole situation is so unfathomable! Thank god it all worked out in the end and both families had their happy endings, but man, what a disaster! It is so scary that the clinic could be so careless. Lots of people have the same last names, yikes! Hopefully those families got really good settlements, and that clinic will never make that mistake again!

Natural PG 9/27/11; MC at 8wks. Used Cytotec to expel: 1/20/12 (unpleasant)
First RE visit: 8/8/12, Saline Sonogram: 8/28/12(4cm unknown mass in upper left of uterus) 2nd Saline Sonogram: 10/2/12 (mass disappeared!) IVF injection class: 10/11/12

PGS: All 5 have "severe abnormalities." Devastated. Begged RE for back-to-back IVFs; Started Provera 11/2/12. AF said FU and came anyway, destroying any chance for a Dec IVF.

No DE or adoption for us, FIRM.
That’s it for us. I am beyond devastated and have no idea how to proceed from here. My life has been forever altered by this experience. Best wishes to all in their journeys!

Maybe it's horrible but DH and I said the same thing. I mean, what that woman went through was ridiculous and unbearable but at the same time they already had 3 beautiful, healthy kids. My husband's like, "they must be rich as sh!t." Haha. Which unfortunately, for us, who don't have IF coverage, it is the case that money can in fact buy happiness (for some anyway). It was a totally heartbreaking story though. I don't think I would have had the strength to bear any of it.


TTC since June 2011
DX: DH (30) severe MFI, severely low count & low motility
Me (32): all clear
Appt with Urologist 5/21/12: exam, ultrasound, bloodwork all normal.
Testicular Biopsy with TESE on 6/8/12. good sperm found! (left side only) froze sperm, failed thaw test :(
Orientation for IVF/ICSI on 6/13/12. Waiting for the green light following biopsy results...results show adequate sperm production both sides.
2nd SA 6/18/12: sample is "adequate for ICSI"
Plan: IVF/ICSI July 2012!
ER: 7/26/12. 15 eggs retrieved, all mature.
TESE/TESA/aspiration from epididymis, no motile sperm found :(
froze all eggs, the saga of praying for good sperm continues.

Me and DH watched it tonight. Pretty crazy story! Is it horrible that it bugged me that they already had kids and just kept trying. I don't know it just made me kinda feel so weird. But IF will do that to you and put crazy thoughts in your head you normally wouldn't think.

i must be horrible too as I thought it was ridiculous to go through for your fourth kid! I'm fighting like mad for one and it annoyed me as well.

How scary!!

I've only had one IUI so far, and the first thing they did when they walked in the room was show me a vial with my name on it.  Now, I guess things can happen in the lab.

Don't feel bad. I had the same thoughts.  I can't feel too sorry for some one with 3 children already. Now apparently she has 5 because I think she went on to have  twins.  It is still an awful situation for everyone involved.  This isn't exactly a new story. I think I saw it on the Today show last year.  Both couples are writing books now - so it seems like they are capitalizing on this unfortunate mistake, and keeping themselves in the news.

I think IF is making me jaded :(

It happened in 2009 and their books have both been out for awhile.  I read one of them a few years ago.   Was this a new Dateline or a repeat?   

I understand people not having sympathy for someone with kids already - but both couples did IVF in the past to get their children and they were using their frozen embryos to try for siblings.
