[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With IVF there will be a higher chance of multiples.   Is your friend prepared to parent multiples or would she choose to selectively reduce?

I have a friend from high school in somewhat similar circumstances.   In her late 30's and was not in a relationship but knew she wanted to be a mom and worried about getting older...
She had IVF with sperm donation and conceived triplets. She was carrying all 3 but sadly one died in the womb, so only two babies were born.

In her situation, her mom was local and extremely helpful;  I think the mom actually moved in with her full time for the first year or so.  My friend is a teacher, so her job schedule is more conducive to parenting (off during school breaks and such.)[/quote]

They don't really put multiple embryos in anymore.[/quote]

Yeah, I don't think the PP understands IVF. You just transfer one embryo at a time if you don't want twins, etc. (Embryos can always split, but that's a risk with any pregnancy.)
