You’ve already been through so much to get here: IVF, choosing embryos, matching with your surrogate, and finally celebrating transfer day. Maybe you even purposefully chose the embryo’s sex through genetic testing. So when you get a phone call or see an ultrasound picture and hear the words: “It’s a boy,” your heart may sink. Wait a second… we transferred a girl embryo. Did the clinic make a mistake? Should we panic? Take a deep breath. This situation is more common than you might think, and in most cases, it’s not the result of your clinic messing up.
