Fertility drugs, into the trashcan. That's like saying "All automobiles, into the trashcan" or "All airplanes, into the trashcan" after accidents! When used responsibly, and proper monitoring is done by REAL reproductive endocrinologists and not just an ob/gyn who took an extra hour course to have 'fertility expert' tacked on their diploma, the statistics IIRC are something like 98% singletons, 1.something% twins, and the remainder is the greater multiples when fertility treatment is successful!! You don't read about the thousands of parents who are blessed with a single baby after treatment for this horrifying disease--just the extreme cases--just like you don't hear about the thousands of car accidents that happen in this country every day. Too boring!!! But when it's something big, the MSM is all over it!!! I'm VERY grateful to God for giving humanity the knowledge of fertility drugs and proper, supervised medical supervision. I'm be a childless mother otherwise, and like some other posters here said--I wouldn't wish that destiny on my worst enemy!!

Here's an old chart about multiples chances/results--you'd be surprised at how small the amount of greater multiples (trips, quads, quints, sextuples, septuplets, and octuplets) is!! Trying to find a more recent chart, but I don't want to pay for a subscription to JAMA! :-)

Okay, here's one through the CDC website--http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/FASTATS/multiple.htm

True, I didn’t mean that fertility drugs were bad, just that this woman is probably done with them.
