RHFactor is the neg or the pos charge of a blood type.

It doesnt matter what type you are A B AB or O, its just if you are pos/neg.

Sperm are fine as are your eggs, its just after it becomes a embryo or fetus that there is a chance of a neg mom with a pos daddy to have issues if moms body sees the pos fetus as an invader. That is why you get the shot, also if you are a neg mom and have unk/pos daddy anytime there is bleeding they will give you the shot.

I just wanted to make things easy and also have the same blood type as my son so that is why I chose the same as me. Babies often take daddys blood type and rh factor.

Sorry about the confusion there.
