I always thought having multiples was quite rare and didn't really happen that often, making have twins or triplets some how "special". I guess with the publicity of the celebrity and IVF increasing the number of twins being born, it still is very special but now not so unusual!

IVF or not, I think it's wonderful!! ;-)

If it is unethical for doctors to be handing out fertility drugs to be people who don't really need it then how can this large number be explained!?

Firstly, I don't think the number of twins born to celebrities is all that high, it's just that we hear about it more often because they're famous.

Secondly, whether or not the celebrities needed fertility treatment really is a private issue, so it's not like it's anyone's business how they conceived. We can surmise that their fertility specialist is "unethical" but we don't actually know their medical history or if/why they accessed fertility treatment, cause it's none of our business.

And thirdly, I think discussions about accessing fertility treatment for the sole purpose of conceiving twins trivialises the seriousness and gravity of twin pregnancies, and is also (personally, IMO) offensive to those who access fertility treatment for infertility.

As PP's have said, naturally conceiving twins is not something you can make happen - it's not something that can be controlled or manipulated.

And abusing the system for those that need it.

A little off the original topic, but I think it is worth mentioning, considering the title of the thread

Many of the "older" celebrity mums happily pose for photo's with their gorgeous new babies in magazines, the pictures are lovely to look at, and as a women with AMA using fertility treatment to concieve, gives me some hope, that we may be so lucky.

However sometimes I wonder if they are setting women of AMA in the general public, up for dissapointment, IMO and unfortunatly estensive experience in ART, the chances of the children not being from Donor Eggs over the age of 43 is quite slim. It is totally their business whether or not they disclose this information, as it IS very, very personal.

It's just the magazines glossy pretty pictures, often dont tell the full story
