    Brad and Angelina aside - I think any fertile person who thinks IVF is a great way to have twins, then goes through the whole rigmarole (and it's a HUGE emotional and physical toll, as any IVFer will tell you) knowing that there will be only a one in five chance of falling pg, and then again, once pg, only have a 33% chance of carrying twins, and then an even smaller chance than that to carry them BOTH to term, well, to me, if they want to take that chance, I won't find it insulting because plain and simple, they're COMPLETELY clueless.

    Lol! This story makes me laugh every time I read it. If you geniunely think IVF is the easy way to having a child, let alone twins, you're seriously misinformed. More likely you'd end up a a few more singletons than have twins straight off.
