I was getting ready to have in-vitro with LOTS of problems. Doctor wanted to put 5 eggs in because he didn't feel that I had a good chance of any taking. One of the things he explained is that anything over 2 taking is considered a failure in that industry. He said the goal is to not have large amounts of multiples as it is difficult on the body, development of babies etc. He asked my thoughts of reduction in case all 5 eggs took. I said no way, he said that he will only put in 3 eggs then cause if 5 took it really was not safe.
None of them took
I think in extreme situations where major medical issues are happening, I do feel it is ok. I do not feel that you should just decide to do it because you don't want xxx kids (like the article). What this women chose I do not agree with however; it is still her choice (I don't need to agree with it, she needs to live with it, not me).
I have been blessed with 3 kids....so, miracles really do happen.
congrats on your 3 blessings!! It's always encouraging to see a wonderful success story.
