  Amazing. I received the "risk of multiples" speech from the nurse today, and it's comforting to know so many other women would rather have a high risk pregnancy than never be a parent. ((hugs)) to you all!

  Quints hands-down. I'm sure it would make our lives completely nuts, but I can't entertain the thought of never being a mother.

  My siblings live far. Not that it factored into my answer, but they live flights away.

  I'm sure I will get flamed for this but if we had more than 3 babies in a pregnancy we would probably do selective reduction. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't go that route if I knew everything would be okay but the risk of losing all the babies at that point is just too high. I know that's a highly personal topic.

  @littlelady77 My RE wouldn't transfer more than three unless we signed paperwork saying we were ok with reducing. They won't risk triplet pregnancies. We transferred two.

  My RE also said that if by some crazy event we got more than 3 he would highly recommend a reduction. It made me think about this topic a lot when we were deciding how many to transfer. I'm exceptionally glad we won't have to make that call!

  I 100% feel the same way.  It is so high-risk and puts all the babies in danger both in utero and after they are born for the rest of their lives.  It is, of course, a personal decision but one that I would never want  to put myself in the position to make.
