I've not had to deal with this issue when I went through IVF a few years back, but it was something I did think about. When I hear about this, it makes my heart ache. What a terrible choice for anyone to make! First, one deals with infertility. Then, she has the excitement of being pg. Then, she must determine how many babies to keep. Really, what a decision. What a roller coaster of emotions.

my dr asked us if we were open to the thought of selective reduction because i told him we really wanted twins, just because this is probably our only shot, so we wanted to get the "most for our money" (just kidding) but we would like to have two, and we can manage financially, and emotionally, i think, my first two kids are only 18 months apart, so they were babies together, waking up all night and such...anyway, the dr said that to give us the best chance at twins, we would probably put three back, just to increase the chances, but that we would need to prepare ourselves for the reality that all three may take...now that the time is getting closer, i find myself wondering what i would do if all three took...i don't want to insult anyone by saying that i don't think i could do it, but i had difficult pregnancies, all through out, and two m/c...so if all three took, i would be putting all three at risk...it's so easy to say what we would or would not do when we are not in the situation at the time...prayers and well wishes to all
