Let's talk about this (link in post)

Wow....I just found this article posted by a local news channel on my FB. It's IVF and PR. This couple is angry because they did IVF and got pregnant with twins.

http://www.wtae.com/news/health/-We-re-pissed-to-be-pregnant-with-twins/-/9680940/21776470/-/enfmqhz/-/index.html?utm_source=hootsuite&utm_medium=facebook&utm_campaign=wtae-tv%2Bpittsburgh

Thoughts?

My thoughts are that I'll take one of their babies if they are too "terrified" of having twins!

  • Isn't one of the conversations you have with your Dr at the beginning of treatments, "as with all IF treatments, there's a higher chance of multiples." That was one of the first things our Dr warned us about, and he said he would not proceed with any treatments until we were both okay with that.

    Hello. You knew 2 were being put in there. Do you not understand the possible outcome of it?

    It's probably someone trying to sue their Dr for not "letting them know this could happen," and trying to get a nice settlement.

  • What. The. Fuck.  Seriously? There just are no words.  Scared? OK. Nervous? Sure. I can even see terrified.  But how about excited? or thrilled? or anxious even? It's a pretty well-known fact that your chance of multiples increases with IVF.   These people don't deserve those babies.  My brother and SIL had a baby, then a MC, then twins.  And, while it's challenging (physically and financially), those girls are two of the best creations on earth and my family wouldn't trade them for the world.  And the words "pissed," "angry," or "regretful" NEVER would have crossed their minds. Disgusting!
    imageimage
  • Wow.  Just wow.  Even if a doctor doesn't tell you (which most likely the doctor did), they must have known that twins could happen.  How can you be pissed about that?!  I can see saying that you are overwhelmed to hear the news, but pissed.  Come on!

  • If you don't want 2 don't transfer 2 embryos! That's all. I'll take both babies off their hands thank you.

  • um, yeah. I would be SUPER grateful to have one baby, let alone twins. There is no way that they "struggled for two years and did IUI then IVF" and didn't know there was a hella chance of multiples. Bite me.

  • I'm seriously so angry after reading that article that I could cry out of sheer outrage.

    You decided to take the risk of transferring more than one embryo! Yeah twins will be hard, but that's the risk you took. Now STFU about how unhappy it makes you and be thankful it worked at all!

    I have a feeling they'll be plenty aware of how their parents feel without reading the article. Actions speak louder than words.
