Hello ladies, I hope I could have your opinion. We had egg collection this week and unfortunately, my partner failed to produce his sample (stress). We ended up freezing eggs, which obviously comes with extra risks, not to mention costs and yet more emotional rollercoaster. A friend of mine said that her clinic took a sample from the partner and freezed it, just as a back up plan in case a sample could not be produced on the day of egg collection. We were never told this was an option by our clinic. I now wonder whether freezing samples is a standard procedures or do you need to specifically ask for it? I am beating myself on the head, as I feel it is my fault as should have done more research but yet, it is the clinic who meant to guide us to the best results possible. Do they mess up or is it just our bad luck? I would be interested to hear your experiences, though I appreciate this is an unusual scenario.
