All it took was clomid for several moms we know though I used to think the same about ivf. I think IVF is like being vegan and they'll tell you right away when people share their past pregnancy experiences.

I get that some twins are naturally conceived, but the explosion of twins is 99% due to IVF. Come on.

Some of us were just stone cold infertile. We tried to get pregnant for over 4 years in my early 30s--finally did IVF and had twins. It was a long road.

Just thought I'd put this in here. It's not all geriatric parents and people jumping to IVF ASAP because they have the money.

Also you're more likely to have twins after age 35, notwithstanding fertility treatment

The DC Area privates are full of twins. How many twins are in your kids' class? Which school?

From Bullis in '18: "Last night 143 students -- including 12 Lifers and six sets of twins.."
