Like you, she didn't see the sign that said "Do not litter".Fluffy wrote:Hah!

Thanks. That makes much more sense to me now
Doesn't count if you pull a McCaughey and take fertility drugs. Has anybody ever actually beat the Dionnes (natural identical multiples)?minimetoo26 wrote:Sarcastic thoughts:

Two more tries and they pass the Duggars
Real thoughts:
Boy, do they have their hands full, literally and figuratively. I wish them well. Twice as many as I have in one shot? Just wow.

She annoys me, too, but they are all from her own belly. She parlayed the stretch marks into a free tummy tuck.I don't watch Jon and Kate because she annoys me, but aren't some of their kids adopted?
I thought of Rexer, too, but saw no connection besides the $10 figure. Then I wondered if $80 meant something. I'm not too good with insurance jokes...tlynn78 wrote:They probably charged her $10 per babyThanks. That makes much more sense to me now
Don't feel bad. I thought he was blaming Rexer.

Hard to believe that this woman was given fertility treatments if she already had six kids.
Dr. Tim Johnson on ABC was saying that if there were treatments, the clinic or doctor involved was highly unprofessional and unethical. If it was IVF, he said that the usual procedure implants no more than four fertilized eggs at a time. If it was fertility drugs, there are ways to monitor how many eggs have dropped and to tell the couple to hold off with sex for the month if too many are present. The dangers to the health of the mother and the potential children are generally considered too great otherwise.andrewjackson wrote:I saw on the news this morning that neighbors are saying that this woman already has six kids including a set of twins.

I saw this, and I'm wondering if some of it is prompted by the reality shows I like to rag on. I've read the Duggar thread on TWoP, and there seems to be a competition among some of the posters to have enough kids to catch the eye of TLC!

They did fertility treatments - both for the twins and for the six. She says that she wanted to know what it was like to just have one. They also said that they knew when they started treatment that they would not do selective reduction.marriedmefliesfree wrote:WheresFanny wrote: I don't watch Jon and Kate because she annoys me, but aren't some of their kids adopted?
I don't think so...a good friend of mine is deep in the heart of fertility treatment land, and said that Kate took Clomid. I think it is a drug that increases the number of eggs ripe for fertilization per cycle.
