    this is just beyond ridiculous....if they weren't willing to accept what often comes from ivf why didn't they just go the ol' turkey baster route?

    I totally agree, but if the doctors didn't listen and did put two eggs back when she spicifically asked for one to be put back then that is a different matter.

    I guess she has a case in that instance.

    The only difference between this woman and any woman who accidentally has another baby is that she has someone other than herself and a sex partner to blame. :p

    It's wrong for her to behave like this because a child is a child. You either live up to an unexpected one and love it like it was planned, or you put it up for adoption so that someone ELSE can love it like it was planned.

    How horrible for these children. They are both going to feel unwanted when they are old enough to hear about the law-suit.

  • this is ridiculous. but i totally understand how distressing it is buying a stroller. :rolleyes: give me a break stupid people. LMFAO!!!!! :D:D



    absolute agreement.
    if one undergoes IVF and does NOT know the quite HIGH incidence of multiple births....well then, they had no busines having a procedure they were so ill-educated about. utterly ridiculous.

    you want one baby so much...and then you get 2...and sue?!


    IF she did specify only one egg implantation and they did not follow her wishes...that would be one thing, but we don't have that info to speculate. i've never heard of anyone doing so, b/c you only have a 1 in 5 chance of success with IVF in the first place, and that is with multiple eggs implanted....but it would be dependent on that. for me personally, that's always been an 'issue'...the fact that you CAN end up with multiples.....and then can be given the choice to have 3 babies...or abort. yikes. i am completely pro-choice, but i cannot imagine wanting 1 baby that much...then having the possibility of so many more....and then what?


    oops...i see now, i didn't read all the way thru. :o even so....how do we know? it is highly out of the ordinary to specify only one egg implantation. and without it being put in writing, bit difficult to prove, no?
    Stay with me...

    Here in england they are planing to change the law due to a strain on the NHS, so that doctors will only be allowed to put one egg in thus reducing the risk of mulitiple births.

    I don't see why a person couldn't specifiy that they only wanted one egg put back, it's not an unreasonable ask considering the risk of mulitiple births. Which they would have been made well aware of before they even started the process.

    is this procedure covered by your healthcare? b/c here in the states it is not....and i think? it roughly costs about 12K per each round...and on average couples have it done 3x...so that's 36k.....and WITH multiple embryos implanted. there IS a good reson why they implant multiple embryos...b/c there is a high failure rate. as i said, i don't know exactly how many they normally implant...but it is usually a few.....and still, the procedure only has a 1 in 5 success rate, each time. so that will mean a LOT more undergoing the procedure, multiple times, if that came into being. of course, if one is informed and wants that choice....not saying they shouldn't have it. it IS a highly personal decision in the first place. just relly going into the 'whys' of how it is done at the moment, usually.

  • I'm gonna sue my husband for accidentally impregnating me two years ago yesterday. :D:D:D

    Seriously though, this is bullshit. Giving birth of multiples is always a possibility when IVF is used.

    They should put both babies up for adoption, so as to prevent the possibility of one of them becoming "the unwanted one" as years go by and they develop personalities.

    yeah, I should sue my ex for accidently impregnating me twice (really, I had nuthin to do with it ;) ) actually I did sue him for child support...not that i ever saw any

    I think they should give them both up as well...if they can't handle twins they have no business having any at all....i just feel really sorry for those baby girls

    If she didn't want the responsibility of caring for more than one baby, she should have adopted and not tried IVF. There's no excuse for her behavior. And I feel bad for those kids.
