“Suleman sought fertility treatment and was implanted with numerous embryos last year and according to the mother, they all happened to take.”

WTF?! Implanted with numerous embryos?

WTF?! Implanted with numerous embryos?

It's quite common for them to transfer (not implant) multiple embryos because the chances of them all implanting successfully are slim. Even with all the advancements with IVF, there is still a high failure rate.

And as I pointed out in an earlier post it is quite possible they didn't even transfer 8 embyros. They may have transferred fewer but ones they did transfer may have split into twins. We just don't know enough about the story yet.
