Nope sorry. That's the risk you run when you take fertility drugs.

Think I'll forward this story to Neal Boortz though. he loves to gripe about people who have kids they can't afford.

No, it's not. When you take fertility drugs, you get regular ultrasound checks to see how many follicles (containing eggs) are developing. If you have too many, and you're not doing IVF (where the number of embryos returned to the uterus can be limited) you cancel the cycle and you do NOT inseminate.

Of course there are some short-sighted people who decide that they already spent a few hundred dollars on drugs and don't want to cancel and have to spend a few more hundred dollars on another cycle, and so ignore their doctors' warnings and go ahead and risk a high order multiple pregnancy with all the huge risks to the babies' health and huge medical and child care costs.
