The couple eventually was told Amy had four eggs ready for fertilization and that if she conceived that month there was a chance of a multiple birth.

I'd have taken this risk in one second! No thought at all. There are no frozen embryos to worry about. Sounds like no one screwed up (dunno how hard it is to see all the ripening eggs on US), it's just what happened. God bless 'em.

Is two years really such a long time?

Sure it is, if you are waiting every month, hoping against hope that you're pregnant. That's 24 disappointments. Most people who are healthy conceive within a year. This woman was not functioning correctly, it was right that she sought medical help.

We look at it differently Dianna. Both my wife and myself are of the opinion that perhaps this is God's plan.

Both of our children are gifts from God and we find comfort in feeling that perhaps the fact that it took my wife a long time to conceive was God's intent.

Im not trying to discount the possibility that perhaps the woman might have had a problem that could be solved with fertility drugs, but I just did not think that two years was that long.

Perhaps it was. I truly believe there is no baby born on this earth without God's intervention. If God didn't want those babies born from that mother, it never would have happened. Perhaps it is God's will that they learn lessons taught by 6 tiny, sick little babies.
