Twins Anyone?

Some posts that I have read are about the increased chances of having twins when you are undergoing fertility treatment. I'm sure you have ready my comments in my first post regarding how most people typically react to my fear of having twins. A very good friend of mine had a completely different reaction that I thought might be helpful. Her response was that having twins the first time around would be good (better than the second time around) because as a new mom, you don't know any differently. You don't have any expereince with adjusting to a new baby, so adjusting to two new babies is your new normal!

Great perspective - thanks for sharing it with us! I have always thought that twins would be nice the first time around because then I really wouldn't be as worried about the whole sibling thing. I know they say that in the IF world they only want to give you one baby per pregnancy, but in some ways it would be nice...

I know it sounds weird, but the reason we are hoping for twins or more(once we start treatment) is because I dont wanna go through this BS again. We want a total of 3-4 kids so to get it all finished in one shot would be okay with us. =)
