Success after IF

Holy Cow is anyone else watching Discovery Health!

This show is called Mulitple Miracles. This couple has a 2 year old daughter and 13 month old quads. If this isn't enough, she is pregnant with another set of quads!!! That is 9 kids under the age of 3! They live in Australia. The husband has Kleinfelder's Syndome and doesn't produce live sperm. She got pregnant all 3 times through donor sperm and IUI. That is just crazy!!!

  • And here I am wondering how I'm going to handle 2 under 2!  Two sets of quads in under 2 years--that is just nuts.  How do you even afford that?

  • I have no idea but apparently they live in a 3 bedroom house with his mother!! Where will they put them all? In closets? I normally don't watch shows like this but this one has captured my attention.

  • That's just ridiculous.  I have to wonder--after having 4 kids under the age of 2, how do you say to yourself, let's try for another?  And it's not like this was an oops pregnancy if it's donor sperm!  Just insane.

    I try very hard not to judge other people's choices about how they build their family, but I'm gonna go ahead and say that's ridiculous.

     This exactly.  7 months after having quads? Holy crow.

  • It is nuts! However as the show is going on, one of the quads in the 2nd set died in-uteruo so they end up having triplets...but still 8 under the age of 3. Good grief.

    I agree. And I wonder how many follies she triggered with? I think thats just careless of them IMO (parents & doctors).

  • Wow...thats stupid. Why put her on TV? It makes fertility treatments look bad and causes people to do this kind of thing for attention. I'm disgusted.

    ::Ok, stepping off of my soapbox::

    Agreed.  Come ON .. why another round of fert treatments with a 2 year old and 13 month old QUADS already on deck?   I'm judging.  Oh yes I am. 

    Wheee!
