I dont profess to understand why 2 embryos were implanted...perhaps there was a good reason.<BR/><BR/>In any event...if they wanted a child that bad...and if they felt they could be loving parents...then why not 2 babies? I am spinning from this one i am afraid.<BR/><BR/>LaurieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26254663.post-19664497293047688882007-09-18T22:43:00.000-04:002007-09-18T22:43:00.000-04:00This is a ridiculous story.

My RE requires to sign a document showing how many were transferred.<BR/><BR/>It makes me wonder if they agreed to two and then changed their mind.<BR/><BR/>Someone else made a good point that they could have reduced the pregnancy as well. "Let's keep both, but make someone else pay for it."<BR/><BR/>AND they should just be happy they have children!Kamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01215000341567119958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26254663.post-39179986244677779582007-09-18T19:01:00.000-04:002007-09-18T19:01:00.000-04:00While I can understand the panic and moments of te...While I can understand the panic and moments of terror that occur when one discovers that one is pregnant with "unexpected" twins, I cannot imagine suing the doctor because he transferred (note proper terminology ha ha!) two embryos.<BR/><BR/>As you have stated, there are *always* options. As abhorrent as the thought of selective reduction may be, it is an option. <BR/><BR/>I would love to read the originating documents in this suite. The only way I can see if getting anywhere is if they stated in a letter to the doctor that under no circumstances was he to transfer more than one embryo at a time and he disregarded that instruction.<BR/><BR/>Having twins when you're not expecting them is a very scary thing. But you adapt, survive and move on. I remember when I first found out I was having twins I also said (in panic) that we could always give one up for adoption. Did I mean it? No. I knew even as I said it that I didn't mean it, but for a moment, it made things seem...survivable.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, this has blathered on too long and I don't think I made the point I wanted to. We can discuss this more on Sunday. ;)LadyofAvalon56https://www.blogger.com/profile/12486252994725146208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26254663.post-51017747504573039622007-09-18T18:23:00.000-04:002007-09-18T18:23:00.000-04:00I didn't read the article, but I would imagine tha...I didn't read the article, but I would imagine that a jury would be hard pressed to award damages on this type of case. <BR/><BR/>Fertility is no where near exact.

However, like Ellen, I am suspect of the couple. First, even if the doctor did this on his own, the ultrasound would have shown twins and it could not be hidden since the hospital has to be ready for all children to be born. Second, there was no guarantee that both embryos would take, just like real life we a natural split, so it is nature, not the doctor responsible for the two births. Finally, I am appalled that people going through this major process to have children would be SO indignant about a second child. I would understand if they got quints or something but is this couple so limited in their love that they cannot extend it to a second child? Does one child go to private school and the other to public school as a result? DO they love the first born more than the unwanted second? What are they saying when they bring this to the table as they have? What effect will it have on other couples, and (unfairly or not) specifically gay and lesbian couples, when it comes to making the decision for IVF?<BR/><BR/>So many questions and as usual, the shortsightedness of the adults will adversely affect the child. DW and I spoke about multiples and different possibilities before we ever stepped into the IVF pool and we agreed that whatever number we were blessed with, we would lovingly accept. We would not transfer any more than we were willing to handle and, with twins in my family tree, we are prepared for the possibility that one or more transferred embryos could split again.<BR/><BR/>This couple needs a wake up call and while I say they should get something from the doctor IF he did the double transfer on his own accord, I think they should get jack schitt if they knew both had a possibility of taking. Welcome to the unpredictable expanse we call life ladies.

Waiting until giving birth and then suing the doctor is very cold and calculated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
