In a strange case of an accidental embryo mix-up, a woman in Australia gave birth to another couple's baby after an IVF clinic mistakenly transferred a different patient's embryo.
The shocking mix-up, which occurred at Monash IVF in Brisbane, Queensland, was only uncovered months later in February 2025 when the birth parents sought to transfer their remaining frozen embryos to another provider. The clinic has since admitted the error, attributing it to "human error."
