I'm back in the clinic for a second insemination today because I've actually peeked yesterday. Since I was notified of an extra vial of sperm from our previous donor still in the storage, and we have no other available vials of the current donor ( painful lesson--remember to call for the sperm delivery before iui), it seems logical to just used up the vial and at least knew we gave all every cycle. Both donors are approved and properly screened. However the clinic wouldn't do the insemination of two different donors b2b.
The reason being in the event that a donor child is born with genetic disease, the parents can't trace it to the donor as result of the double donor. That seems like a moral code, because the clinic is not at any fault for the insemination they do, and they are not responsible for any risk that came with the sperms. Eventually after contacting the head of the department who gave the go ahead, we signed the consent and went through the iui. It might not do anything, but I'm at peace knowing we have done our best.
