In the latest Woman's Day magazine, there is an article about a couple who tried for years to have a baby.
After seven failed IVF attempts and 2 miscarriages, they are now proud parents of 2 lots of twins. And if that is not amazing enough. They were born at the same time in 2 seperate pregnancies. How? I hear you ask. Well she did one last IVF attempt, and had 3 fertilized eggs placed, as well they had a surrogate have 3 fertilized eggs placed. Surrogate was carrying eggs from the mother that had been fertilized by the father. Surrogate and mother found out they were both pregnant within a few weeks of each other, then at 6 week ultra sound found out they were both carrying twins. So one lot of twins were born by surrogate, then 3 days later the mother delivered the other set of twins by c section. All I can say is WOW!!!!!!!! ------------- Tania & Les Nicholas 18 Vaughn 15 Lisa 10 Tara 5yrs Gestational Surrogate for couple in Whakatane Egg collection week of 4th Oct Embryo transfer week of 11th Oct |

WOW! What an awesome story!
Chelle - I would assume that after 7 failed attempts at IVF they were fairly sure the next one wouldn't work so gave surrogacy a whirl as a back up and voila! Quads! Ha! How fabulous!

I think it's weird they did the surrogate at the same time as well..? but as you say i guess it doubles the chances and if the surrogate was happy...i just read this and they were born a week apart.. crazy! Woody,Walker, Wesley and Ally Sue. ------------- Mum to two amazing boys! |
