Help[Opinions] Re: Woman Gives Birth to Three Sets of Twins in Five Years!
in reply to a message by BookEm'Danno
I can't even with your comment below, but I think I can be calm enough to just set some facts straight here:
IVF rarely results in a pregnancy of multiples. It is a misconception that people seem to have who don't have any real knowledge of fertility treatments. No more than 2 embryos are transferred for IVF, excluding the rare ridiculous case that would get spread all over media. But any real doctor would never do that, and many people only chose to transfer one. When I did IVF we did two and I only gave birth to one child.
FWIW, the procedure that is the one that would ever result in those higher order multiples that we hear about is IUI used negligently.
