As we all know IVF (weather on your own or donor egg
cell) in-vitro fertilized about 7 embryos. 23% to 30% the probability that at
least one of embryo will take a root.
It’s very rarely all embryo starts develop, but such cases are exist. In
1997 Bobby from Iowa got pregnant with 7 children. Against of doctors
recommendation, Bobby and her family decided to keep the babies.
You can say it
was too rashly it can easy happen with tragedy. But since that time 18 years
have passed. All 7 kids are alive and celebrate their 18th birthday
today.
On this photo you can see Kenny-junior, Alexis,
Nataly, Kelsey, Nathan, Brendon and Joel. They finishing school and planning
their future life. In the summer Brendon going to army, rest 6 children are
planning enter the university. They have oldest sister 19 year old Michaela,
who recently married, and lives nearby.
The
possibility all children will survive was very small. The weight of babies was
from 1,13 to 1,54 kg. 2 of them had Cerebral Palsy, they had many surgeries,
right now boy who have Cerebral Palsy is walking by himself and a girl walk
with a cane, but it didn’t stop her from becoming the second captain of the
cheerleader in the school support group.
This very
unusual family got a lot of help from charity organizations: a new house with 7
bedrooms, the opportunity to eat and to go on vacation for free. When children
were born couple universities proposed them free education when they grow up.
Even George Bush –junior meet the family.
Kenny Sr. work for a company dealing with metal
coatings. Bobby – teacher-therapist in addition to eight children teaching
children with special needs. Like her husband, she always tried teach children
to love work.
Alexis are going to become a educator,
Nataly - teacher of junior classes,
Kenny-junior want become a builder. Nathan and Joel want to be a programmers.
Kelsey dream about career of a singer.
Alexis says :”We
are best friends for each other, not only brothers and sisters”.
Although parents are sad that the childhood of their
sons and daughters come to end, and soon they will “scatter from the parental
nest”, Kenny and Bobby look to the future with optimism. They are proud of
their children and believe that they are ready for a new, adult life.

I’m glad you’re all on the other side of the journey! Sending you all positive vibes. Here’s my fertility history. I’m 43 yo. Have ‘always’ had fibroids in the uterus. Although fibroids were once removed they did grow back. (This is just a possible thing). Later GP told me that pregnancy was life-threatening for me. I can’t find the words to describe how I felt then. Yet further investigations showed I had aged eggs of extremelly poor quality. That’s why our only route was donor egg surrogacy. Whenever I thought about it I felt a wave of nausea and cry. The thought of seeing a child that is half my husband and half another women made me feel physically ill. I wanted to have a baby with my husband. And I wanted to be a mom!! But I failed as we needed a surrogate and donor’s egg, for his and someone else’s child. I gave myself time. We travelled, talked to others sailing in the same boat, were looking for a suitable place. Finally moved to Ukraine, currently waiting for our surrogate’s official test.
ReplyDeleteI'd recommend to see an expert as soon as you suspect sth wrong with your fertility. They will look at your medical history and give you a physical examination.
ReplyDeleteThey may also recommend some lifestyle changes to help fertility.
Unless there are reasons that may put you at high risk of infertility, you'll usually be considered for infertility investigations and treatment.
If appropriate, your GP can refer you to a fertility specialist at an NHS hospital or fertility clinic.
He/she will ask about your fertility history. He/she may carry out a physical examination. You may have tests to check the levels of hormones in your blood. Also how well your ovaries are working. You may also have an ultrasound scan or X-ray to see if there are any blockages or structural problems. Your partner may be asked for a semen sample to test sperm quality.
If IVF is the best treatment for you, the specialist will refer you to an assisted conception unit.
Once you're accepted for treatment at the assisted conception unit, you and your partner will have blood tests for HIV, hepatitis B and hepatitis C, and to check if you're immune to rubella. Your cervical screening tests should also be up to date.
The specialist will investigate the amount of eggs in your body and their quality (your ovarian reserve) to estimate how your ovaries will respond to IVF treatment.
This can be assessed by measuring AMH in your blood, or by counting the number of egg-containing follicles, using a vaginal ultrasound scan.
Your specialist will then discuss your treatment plan with you in detail and talk to you about any support or guidance you may find helpful.
This is the possible continuation. But it all depends on the case.
