Nine couples in a joint lawsuit have accused Ovation Fertility in Newport Beach of destroying their embryos by exposing them to a lethal amount of poison.
In the lawsuit, the couples accuse Ovation Fertility of wrongly using hydrogen peroxide instead of distilled water in an incubator that killed their embryos.
Berger and her partner Bennett Hardy, one of the nine couples in the lawsuit, shared their painful experience during a press conference Tuesday.“When it didn't work, we had lots of self-doubt. We kind of wondered, 'Was there something wrong with me?' even though our doctors said that they don't think there's anything wrong with me,” said Berger.
“Ovation Fertility has protocols in place to protect the health and integrity of every embryo under our care. This was an isolated incident related to an unintended laboratory technician error that impacted a very small number of patients. As soon as we recognized that pregnancy numbers were lower than our usually high success rates, we immediately initiated an investigation. We have been in close contact with these few impacted patients since the issue was discovered.
