Multiples?!

These days, fertility treatments are more and more common for couples. The percentage of couples seeking fertility treatments are higher since more people are delaying having children until they are in their 30's. Many couples are putting off having kids until they are financially stable and have a good career where as women 30 years ago were putting off careers to have children. Apparently, Mother Nature is old fashion since women are most furtile in their twenties. By reversing career and child birth, couples are left to seek fertility treatments to get pregnant. The increase of fertility treatment such as In vitro fertilization or fertility drugs to induce ovulation have increased multiple births in the US. However, studies have shown that women over 35 are more likely to have multiples such as twins than younger women. Scientists currently do not know why that is the case but suspect that it could be related to higher levels of follicle-stimulating hormone known as FSH in older women. Having one baby is life-altering, having two at a time is life-consuming, having 8 at a time when you already have 6 others is...well just plain irresponsible.
