[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because twin pregnancy is risky. Because caring for twin infants is grueling. Because parenting twins is hard. Really hard. We have twins, including one with relatively minor special needs and it is rough and they’re in upper elementary school. We got through it because you do what you must, but I really think that unless you’ve already had an infant you can’t really fathom how unrelenting twins can be. [/quote]

I already have an almost-one-year old. I am concerned that it will be even more grueling caring for 3 at 45. [/quote]

it's way too early to worry how grueling it will be to have 3 at 45. if you think you can handle twins+1  at 43 surely you can handle 3 at 45?

in any case - do not ask doctor for twins. they can't give them to you anyway. just signal that you are open to transferring more than one embryo and that you are aware of the risk of twins but comfortable with that. do not ask the doctor to plan for twins and really, do not plan on the yourself. if it happens and something goes wrong it will be a terrible burden to bear. just focus on your existing child and the next child.[/quote]
