In Australia, I do believe that if you walked into any Fertility Specialist's office, said you were otherwise fertile but wanted IVF just to have twins, you'd be laughed out of the rooms so fast your head would spin. And if you did find one that would do it for you, I honestly think you better check to see if his degree didn't come from the internet.
Can't speak for the US of course!
ETA: LMS, IVF isn't much more likely to give you multiples than trying naturally. You'd be throwing your money away and would likely just have loads of single pregnancies anyway. Also remember that the complications of twin pg can often mean you can't keep falling pregnant one after the other like singleton pgs. You can have a child a year if you wanted, and have a big family that way. Having twins ON PURPOSE puts you and your children at risk for the sake of convenience. I don't think it's necessarily the right way to have a large family.
ETA2: also wonder if anyone who thinks IVF is a good way to have multiples knows exactly the kind of hell IVF really can be? Because I kinda get the impression that it's seen as some sort of minor inconvenience!
