ParticipantRus – indeed! Posterchild.
I suspect this is a bit of a distraction…seems like everytime the fit approaches the shan, something like this or Schiavo or a blue dress appears to distract the masses.

ParticipantI am stifling lots of giggles on this thread. Some of you guys are so funny!
Personally, I think it’s selfish to have even 1 child alone by choice. I think a child needs a mother and a father, period. So, you can guess how I feel about someone having 14 kids (10 of which are <=2) alone by choice. On top of that 3 of them are disabled? And the newest 8 are premature and it's highly likely some will have either developmental delays, learning disabilities, or perhaps physical disabilities that would require more attention than the average healthy child.

Participant[quote=no_such_reality]Navydoc, you didn’t say anything.
What is the probability an embryo splits? 32 out of 1000? That’s one, two concurrent splits?
[/quote]
The answer to your question is not completely known. The chance of a spontaneous embryo splitting in a natural pregnancy is 0.42%, but, as we all know, this is anything but a natural pregnancy. I also can’t meaningfully respond without knowing more about her specific IVF procedure. Twinning rates are higher if intracytoplasmic sperm injection was used to make the embryos, a real possibility, since in this case she used donor sperm. When a patient conceived via IVF we always get a report from the REI staing how many embryos were transferred, and I agree, 2 splitting events simultaneously would be unusual, just not impossible.
Much of the work in IVF is focused on making the best posssible embryo quality, and unfortunately, we often don’t know what will happen until after the fact.
