[quote=Anonymous]The understanding of risks around having multiples (that includes twins) has become better known and documented - and that the more embryos transferred doesn't have strong correlation with increased 'success' rates -- so nearly all the RE groups now make individuals watch videos and/or understand those risks before making decisions and advise against it.  Fully half of all twins are premature, there are loads of extra health risks short & long term for the children and the mom.  I say this as a mom who loves having had my twins more than anything in the world - and counts them as the most important blessings in my life - but if I had the evidence now that existed then, and the advice from doctors, you just wouldn't do it.  I also am saying this as someone who ended up losing a baby and was on life support myself - after carrying a baby to 36 weeks.  Twins are amazing, fun, cute, (cost-effective for IVF), and wonderful.  But the stakes are for real and not refutable at this point.  [/quote]
