hey i was wondering how many children do you have through IVF? What is the largest number of children born to someone you know or heard all through IVF?

Re: Large IVF family
I know one woman on another forum has 5, 2 sets of twins and a singleton. Then someone at my RE's office is going for number 4 right now.
I have one naturally, but I plan on having 3 kids, however I have to make that happen.

Re: Large IVF family
I am pregnant with my first naturally, but have undergone IF treatments for approx 5 years. Our wish is to have 3, so if I don't get lucky next time around, we will go through another round of IVF.

Typically they are fraternal, although they can be identical. I had identical twins from IVF that were part of triplets.

Re: Large IVF family
ive always wanted a larger family, minimum of 4 kids... since we needed IVF for this pregnancy i dont know how realistic that number is now, especially since we had to pay for it 100%

Large IVF family
I have done 3 IVF cycles ...
1st IVF- Thomas 2 yrs.
3rd IVF- Currently pregnant 23 weeks
We are planning on doing FETs as we have 5 frostys until we are finished...whatever we are blessed with we will take...I believe we will defrost 1 at a time since I can only transfer 1...so I may just have 5 more babies to make a total of 7 or maybe 1 more...Gods plan...not sure what the future holds but thats what we will try for :)

If I need IVF this is how I would like to do it. I just don't know if I have it in me to have so many children.

Hey my goal is to just not end up with a 5th cat in a year from now! I set my standards low and hope for the best. Watch me have 10 kids under 5.

Same here. I would be happy with 1-2 children. When I was little, I wanted 4.
