I'm really curious how she ended up with EIGHT viable eggs. From what I hear any responsible dr will not implant more than 3 eggs TOPS. So did these eggs REALLY divide that many times or did she get WAY too many eggs.

That's the $64,000 question. We have not yet heard from her original doctor. Her mother said, a day or so ago, that all her pregnancies were the result of IVF. She also said that there were 8 embryos remaining, and all of them were implanted. Since there are no more embryos, one could possible hope that she will have no more children.

There was a discussion on t.v. among some medical experts where they agreed it borders on medical malpractice to implant 8 embryos. The dangers to the mother and babies is astronomical, and even tho the odds of all 8 "taking" would be slim, it happened in this case.

Here is a good article about the ethics of Drs. who would implant that many
embryos in anyone.

sparks: I read that her mother said there were fewer than eight implanted embryos. She stated to the media that the eggs divided.

I also read that she told the doctor she had no more children. I believe it was in the Whittier newspaper.
