Most children born to someone using ivf?

[Anonymous]

I'm curious what is the highest number of kids people have heard of one person having through ivf. I'm not talking about all at once like octomom, but cumulatively. Of course there are all of these variables, but I've heard of cases with women with high high amh (pcos) ending up with 10 to 15 embryos and wonder if there are folks who actually ended up transferring them all over time instead of donating or discarding. Of course a good half to one third might be chromosomally abnormal, but just curious to hear people's stories if they ended up with many embryos and ended up transferring them all eventually.

I have 2 kids from IVF. after child #2, I had 4 embryos left, and I've transferred 2, they haven't taken. I have 2 left and HOPE that I will have a third. If I do, I would have 3 kids all from the same conception.

sorry, PP here. Second kid was FET from same batch as first. Just to be clear.

I know two different families with two sets of fraternal twins as a result of IVF.
In one family's case, it amounted to 4 children in 18 months. They did a successful FET of two embryos when their first set of twins was only 9mo. She is young enough that they may pursue another FET in a few years.

Well you'd be most likely to find those people in states with unlimited infertility coverage like MA. Sorry, no personal records to relate here.

Yeah, cost is a really serious factor here. We're one and done but not truly by choice. Cost prohibitive.

I know one family who needed IVF for the first two kids, and then had two more by surprise (naturally).

my case:
2 perfect blasts: twins
2 perfect frozen blasts (identical to the prev. two): negative
1 crummy blast: singleton

We also know a family with two sets of fraternal twins. Not sure how many embryos they had overall though.

Out of all of our cycles we produced ~25 embryos. Transferred 13. 2 stuck (different cycles). Donated the remaining frozen to the lab.

I've personally had 3 kids with IVF. We transferred 2 on our first cycle and had 1 child - nothing to freeze. In our second cycle, we got 6. We transferred 1 at a time for three negative transfers and then transferred 2 and had twins. We still have 1 on ice that we likely will not sue but have not yet destroyed.

I have 2 children and 7 high graded embryos left. We are looking into adoption/donation to a family that wants >1 biologically related children.
