[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Total was about $30k.  First DD IVF covered. It paid for meds. Twins came from shared risk which was $22k plus meds.[/quote]

This is such a stupid question but how do people get twins from IVF? I would love twins [/quote]

They put back two or more embryos. Did you see this in recent topics or are you new to this? Actual question, no snark intended. You would perhaps love twins, but you would not love doing IVF to get them.[/quote]

I have twins - from IVF - and it's an incredible blessing.  But, in recent years, there is so much research about the risks to health for having twins, that most doctors are discouraging transferring two embryos (and two has become the limit for most).  [Half of twins are born premature, added respiratory and other developmental risks, etc...]  You can also have twins if one embryo splits (identical twins) and if you do clomid or clomid + IUI, you are producing more eggs & increased risk for twins/multiples.

P.S. spent $125K - twins through gestational carrier.  (2 IVFs + the related legal, medical, surrogacy costs (and had to screen two GCs, first didn't work out)... (no DE)).  [/quote]
