It's funny you say that, I spoke to my doctor about the mutiple births, his percetages are 70% single, 25% twins, 5% triplet and more. Now my amazement to the women that give birth to 4,5 ,6 babies is that if they see to many eggs being matured they can stop the process and the doctor can lower the shots and try the month after.
I am very concerned with this and told the doctor twins okay but no more. He his monitoring me every three days to make sure where I am, and if there is to many eggs he will discuss stopping and trying again next month.
