  She had the first "naturally," then twins via surrogate.

  
  

  Crazy story.  DH and I joked about what if the clinic put the wrong embryos in, but we were also 15 shades of scared of that possibility.  I can't imagine it happening for real.

  
  But she is having her 6th child.

  Huh.  It *does* say family of seven becoming a family of eight.  I wonder if they are considering the child she carried but who wasn't biologically theirs in that number?  Bah!  Incomplete information, article writer!

  This confused me too. She does mention the fact that her son (one of?) is almost 20 years old, but I'm not sure about where the other older looking boy in the photo, or the 3rd girl?

  @jesselayne8: Ha! DH and I joked about the embryos getting mixed up in the lab too. But DS1 looks like his twin, DS2 looks just like me, and DD is definitely a mix of both of us. Phew! Guess we can rest easy ;-)

  There's a part of me that adores these stories because it's just such a happy ending for these families. But, I also get so bothered by all of the friends and family members of IFers who will say, "See! She wasn't trying and look what happened. That could be you."
  
  And, on another note, I sort of hate the whole "natural" word in reference to conception and birth. I wish she hadn't said it. Maybe it's because I get asked by strangers if my children are natural. It just makes me feel icky about my technology ridden, unnatural conception and birth.

  TTC in 2009, Dx: Unexplained IF

  Three TI cycles (BFP...miscarriage), five IUI attempts and 2.5 IVF cycles later...BFP!!
  12dp5dt: 765; 15dp5dt: 1979; 17dp5dt: 3379...TWINS!!!!!
  Our perfect baby boys were born at 36w1d!!

  I agree. I try to say "unassisted" or "without medical intervention" or "on our own" instead of "natural".

  Apparently the oldest son was spontaneous conception, the second son was conceived using some sort of assistance but not IVF (I'm not sure if IUI was used), then the daughter was from IVF and the twins were from frozen embryos from the daughter's cycle and a surrogate.  Now, number 6 is spontaneous.  Crazy!!  

  
  
  
  ~SAIF/PAIF/Everyone Welcome~ 
  
  

  Me= 37 and DH = 41 
  
  Dx: DOR, Endo, APA+ (really high beta 2 glycoprotein antibody and high everything else tested), heterozygous MTHFR mutation, positive for lupus anticoagulant, high FSH, low AMH and both tubes blocked (per HSG on 3/8/11)
  
  IVF #1 - long lupron (with HGH, intralipids, lovenox and BA); 4 retrieved, 3 fertilized; ET 2 blasts and 1 frozen = BFN
  
  IVF #2 - a version of antagonist with EPP (with HGH, intralipids, lovenox and BA); 6 retrieved, 4 mature, 3 fertilized, 2 blasts and 1 frozen blast transferred on day 5 = BFN.
  
  IVF #3 April was postponed to May, May was canceled. June/July was canceled. Had a cyst aspiration and then began IVF #3 in August. ER on 8/22; ET on 8/24 with AH. +HPT on 9/5. Beta #1 (11dpo) = 3; Beta #2 (15dpo) = 29; Beta #3 (17dpo) = 60; Beta #4 (19 dpo) = 118. Heartbeat at 6 weeks 6 days =132.  Lil is here!
  

  TTC#2:  Trigger + TI = BFN; Clomid + Trigger + IUI = BFN.

  IVF #4:  BCP + MDLF + Lovenox = 7R, 1F = Transferred 1 6-cell embryo on day 3 = BFN

  IVF #5:  MDLF + Lovenox = 4R, 1F = Transferred 1 10-cell compacting embryo on day 3 = BFN

  IVF #6:  (New RE):  Long Antagonist November 2014 (transferred two 8 cell grade 1 embryos and froze one blast) = BFN
  

  FET#1:  BFN
