between 1st and 2nd we waited 4 months
between 2nd and 3rd we waited 1 year becoz we had to produce new embryos...

they are fraternal twins .. one boy one girl.. so definitely becoz of IVF

based on my own research and discussion with doctors, for IVF usually put 2~4 embyros, depending on the womb condition...

of coz, depending on ur "luck", all embryos might implant... then it carries a larger risk of miscarriage or pre-term birth..

sometimes, doctor mite abort some of the fetus in order to save the rest...

like my twins were born pre-term at 27.5 weeks.. they spent a total of 180 days in NICU... cost me around 200k (excluding IVF and delivery cost)

alas.. they are 7 months old now, and except for being underweight.. both are cheerful and healthy..

doctor told me the world record is 12 fetuses... dunno he joking or what
maybe put in 6 embyros and all split become twims

And IVF and/or preterm babies can’t buy medical insurance until they are over two years old. (My Allianz agent says after one year can try but let’s see)

So first year u have to really have cash in hand or u go government.

Like my boy when born got heart defect and possible brain hemorrhage. Luckily both heal as he grows. Otherwise another 50-100k gone

This is the additional risk when doing IVF need to consider.

My doctor told me their record is 28 weeks preterm and stay in NICU for almost 9 months due to various complications. Fuuuuuu. I think milllion gone. Rich Indons I think
