[quote=Anonymous]Most people I know personally who had twins (or were supposed to have had twins) had complications, some very serious. Everything from bed rest for a long time, one nearly dying at birth (and requiring early surgeries), one being still born, loss of both very late in 2nd trimester. Yes, there are plenty of people who have twins without issue, but the risks go way up. I kinda wanted twins, but couldn't bring myself to ask b/c of the risks involved. Better to do the most I could to have a healthy child, and minimizing the risks of multiples was part of that. If you're older, REs will transfer multiple embryos since the likelihood that more than one will take is lower, but if have PGS tested or are young, they may not. There are ethical guidelines that they follow. I know at one RE, those are part of the paperwork I got early on outlining what the process will be like. [/quote]
