Wow, watching A Baby Story from yesterday - 3 sets of twins

Temp6313048411121614

Watching yesterday's episode on Tivo, this couple is having their 3rd set of twins!  They'll have 5 boys and 1 girl.  They went through IVF for all of their pg's, and she said that with their 2nd set, she had no idea that someone could have 2 sets.  Um, I don't think when the embies are being inserted, they think about the fact that there's another set so they decide for only 1 to implant.  Anyway, thought it was strange that they're on their 3rd set, and also was surprised that she didn't think it would be possible to have more than one set.

I had a great grandmother who was 4'11" (like me) and had three sets of spontaneous twins...I so hope thats not me.

That is sad that after all those IVF's she doesn't really understand the concept of IVF and twins.  Of course, she would end up with multiple sets of twins...how are her doctors not explaining this to her!?!

i saw it yesterday and thought "what an idiot!"... it's people like her that make IVF look bad... They should have known- period.  Going forward with 2 or more embies is one thing- but to say you didn't even know it could happen??? Why weren't the docs telling her about the risks, etc?

And to do it AGAIN, a third time? Putting in more than one embie- when obviously they had great success before?  Come on.

Her kids are all healthy- and it's fine she has 6 of them- but we all know there are risks with twins - i would never TRY to have twins again, let alone a 3rd time... and it seems like they tried to have twins, at least the 3rd time.

My sisters best friend had 3 pregnancies, with 2 sets of twins.  The first, a singleton, was supposed to have been a twin, but they lost one of the babies early on.  The last pregnancy, she didn't even know she was pregnant!  She thought she had a cyst, went to the dr and came home knowing she was having twins again.  She has 4 boys and 1 girl.

I was wondering the same thing!!

And at one point did she say "The Dr. told me it was twins again, and I thought "Oh he (my husband) is going to KILL me"  Really??

Well I hope shes happy she FINALLY got her baby girl. : /

Sorry I'm moody today lol

 And I am completely ignorant on this front, so excuse me.  But how does years of being a ballet dancer render you infertile?  I was a dancer for 12 years and never had an issue.  Not trying to be snarky, I'm really just curious.

I saw that episode and thought the same thing, since they said they did IVF. Then I wondered if maybe they did iui for the other two sets and there was a chance for a singleton?
