Re: Woman gives birth to OCTUPLETS!

  • I cant see anything
  • I saw that this morning, it is insane!  humans arent supposed to have litters! I loved how the doctor said they only expected 7 but werent that surpised to find an eight one. 

  • That's insane!
    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • I heard about that on the news.  I wonder how/what she did.  The news and that article link doesn't say if she used drugs or IVF or IUI or anything.....
  • Ohh I bet Kate from J&K+8 is steaming mad right now. 8 babies totally trumps her 6. All her TLC fame and glory will be gone with the wind if they do a show on the 8.

    My bet is the women did have some sort of unmonitored fertility treatment cycle. Most responsible dr.s will not allow a women to have an IUI or TI if she shows a high number of follicles. Nor would they implant that many eggs during an IVF cycle. Even 4 eggs is an unlikely # and then every single embryo would have to split into an identical twin. I really hope that all 8 babies have no long term damage and can live a healthy life.

     

  • WOW!!!!  She had too have been HUGE!!!  and Eva's right.....I can' t see any Dr. who is smart doing that, it had to have been unmonitored.  The risk to the mom and babies is too great...I hope she has 8 healthy babies!!!

    HAHA! Kate is definately livid right now lol!
    I heard about this last night on the new. Craziness!

  • I have to agree thatthis women most likely was not monitored and on some sort of fertility drug...Most responsible REs do follicle scans to check on the number of eggs that will be mature for that month...if its more then 3 at our RE they will cancel your cycle
