What happened to her first embryo? They said there was a mix up. So where is it?

My first thought, too! Funny how the article totally elides that issue!

Are her frozen ova still suspended in liquid nitrogen somewhere, waiting to be fertilized?

Or did they fertilize her ova, and then freeze the embryos? (It's always more than one.)

Or did they fertilize her ova - possibly also with the wrong sperm - and implant the embryos in some other women already?

Regards,

A fertilized egg can be frozen for later implantation.

There is a difference between fertilization and conception. Scientists say half of fertilized eggs are lost. Conception happens when the fertilized egg is implanted in the uterus, as in the Biblical language “the woman conceived.”

According to a different article, the woman who gave birth still doesn’t know what happened to her embryos and has obtained a lawyer. I don’t know if Coastal Fertility isn’t disclosing any information regarding her embryos to her or if Coastal just doesn’t know the status of her embryos.
