[quote=Anonymous]Recent experience with Shady Grove and I got a hard no on twins.  Context is that I had done some failed IVFs with SGF and then had a naturally conceived identical twin pregnancy.  Lost the pregnancy in the second tri.  Went to SGF to try to get pregnant again and asked if we could try for twins and they said no way is it worth the risk, they only will transfer more than one embryo if the specific issues make it very difficult that the woman will conceive at all.

Having lost my own twin pregnancy due to issues with the shared placenta and having 2 sets of friends that lost one of their twins due to premature delivery and another set of friends who had both twins survive but several issues due to being premature I would absolutely NOT try for twins.

Yes you see lots of healthy twins out there but it is truly much higher risk that you'll lose one or both babies or have them very early.  You just don't see those stories because its not like people talk about their lost twin every day in public.  It is not worth the risk to do this on purpose if your goal is to end up with a healthy baby overall. [/quote]
