A MUM has told how a bungling fertility doctor used the wrong sperm during IVF and then accused her of cheating on her husband.<\/p>\n

Elena Samarina was left horrified when she found out her baby girl did not share the same DNA as her spouse Alexander Lysenko. <\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

The couple had been struggling to conceive a child naturally for several years and turned to in vitro fertilisation (IVF) as a last resort.<\/p>\n

They underwent the treatment in 2021 at an unnamed clinic in Stavropol, southwestern Russia, which proved successful.<\/p>\n

Elena explained she had been monitored closely throughout her pregnancy and had dozens of tests to check up on the unborn tot. <\/p>\n

The nurse and her husband Alexander then welcomed their adorable baby girl into the world and discovered she had Down's syndrome. <\/p>\n

Elena realised that her daughter's blood type did not match hers or Alexander's, which immediately raised red flags for the health worker.<\/p>\n

She panickedly requested further DNA testing to determine that they were in fact the newborn's parents. <\/p>\n

It was then confirmed that Elena was the little girl's mother – but shockingly, Alexander was not her father. <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The stunned couple contacted the fertility clinic that had handled their IVF, only to be blown away by their response. <\/p>\n

The facility insisted that there was no possibility that a mistake had been made during the complex procedure. <\/p>\n

Instead, they allegedly suggested that the only explanation for the mix-up was that Elena had cheated on her beloved husband. <\/p>\n

Alexander explained: "They insisted that my wife did not give birth to my child and was trying to hide it.<\/p>\n

"They all claimed in unison that a wrongly fertilised embryo was impossible in their clinic.<\/p>\n

"She [Elena] had been diagnosed with 'infertility of uncertain origin.'<\/p>\n

"In simple terms, she was missing one fallopian tube. In theory, it seems like she could conceive naturally. <\/p>\n

"That's what they latched onto."<\/p>\n

He and Elena then embarked on a year-long battle to get answers and bring the doctor who handled the botched treatment to justice. <\/p>\n

But prosecutors told the parents that the medic wouldn't face trial, as bizarrely he had not broken any laws. <\/p>\n

The truth of the bungled conception only came to light after the tot and Elena underwent a series of forensic medicals in November 2022.<\/p>\n

Alexander said that experts concluded that his wife could not have conceived her daughter naturally, despite the clinic's claims. <\/p>\n

He claimed he was then informed that there had clearly been a sperm "substitution" used during the couple's IVF. <\/p>\n

Elena told local media: "Initially, we assumed that a complete embryo substitution had occurred.<\/p>\n

"But when we received the results, we understood that I am the biological mother, and he is not the father.<\/p>\n

"So, during the IVF procedure, they must have swapped the sperm samples."<\/p>\n

The couple claimed that the clinic refused to acknowledge any wrongdoing and stopped communicating with them. <\/p>\n

They said the facility continued to insist that Elena must have betrayed her partner by having sex with another man. <\/p>\n

A criminal case for medical negligence was eventually opened against the doctor and the clinic, but it was closed last month. <\/p>\n

Despite being armed with damning evidence of the sperm swap, prosecutors claimed no crime had been committed.<\/p>\n

According to local reports, the fertility doctor responsible was not even suspended while the investigation was ongoing. <\/p>\n

But Elena and Alexander have refused to give up hope and are now gearing up for another battle as they challenge the court ruling.<\/p>\n

The dad said: "We will appeal this decision. It turns out that anyone undergoing IVF procedures is not legally protected.<\/p>\n

"There is no guarantee that they will implant your embryo."<\/p>\n

The couple revealed they had tracked down their daughter's biological father, a man who was unknown to the pair of them. <\/p>\n
