Tuesday 24th - Multiples

Another interesting thing is that the clinic doesn't advocate the implantation of multiple eggs (in my case). So, even though my changes of having a multiple pregnancy are naturally higher (because I'm a non-identical twin), if we go through IVF, it's actually going to be lower. They'll implant only one embryo at a time. This is because, in my situation, the concern right now is not the ability of the embryos to 'take', but just the implantation of them. It's funny to think that our future babies are going to be waiting for us on ice. Thank goodness I don't have any ethical/moral issues with embryos and IVF, including disposing of unused embryos if there are some left over.
