Apart from the 'ouch!' factor, imagine the feeding and laundry routines! :o)

The day I need my mental acuity measured I won't be coming to you - but thank you for your unsolicited report.

I've filed it.

[ToraToraTora]

are these mono-zygotic decuplets or deca-zygotic Decuplets or some combination? Either way it's IVF for certain and the last thing Africa needs is more saucepans.

[gingejbee]

Did anybody really need the word "decuplets" explaining?

[chelle7272]

Lol ginge I thought that too

[ToraToraTora]

what's next? Undecuplets I suppose!

TTT, are you aware that Africa is not a single country but is a continent of 54 countries?

[Mozz71]

Tora //if you believe that then you are thicker that I thought you were.//

Bit unnecessary wasn't it?

Also Tora //IVF should be illegal, there is no shortage of people, end of.//

A dear friend of mine lost three different babies before birth, one of them at seven months. She finally had a healthy baby boy via IVF, whose now coming up to 10. If you tell me that she shouldn't have been allowed to have had IVF treatment, I reserve the right to tell you to go *** yourself.

"TTT, are you aware that Africa is not a single country but is a continent of 54 countries?" - yes I am and they are not short of saucepans.

// even by-zygotic twins are rare! gawd elp us!//

nope - 1 in 80 - triplets 1 in 6400
figures for 1980 - and yes the raw data is going DOWN because of IVF

what IS rare if we are going for rare fings ( yeah!) - is not superfertility (10) but superfecundation - twins who are developing four weeks apart ( means the mum ovulated again when the first twin was 4 wks in utero ) and -- - yup different fathers.... oops!

What TTT failed to acknowledge was that three times on page 1 I mentioned their was doubt about the veracity of the news.

Accusing me of being thick was not only unnecessary but illogical.

Well used to it Mozz.

[Mozz71]

That is not what you said. And considering that this incident happened overseas make it completely irrelevant to the thread.

[Mozz71]

Oh I know Mamya, it's par for the course.

[Mamyalynne]

So much knee jerking I'm amazed there aren't aren't more bruised chins.

[Peter Pedant]

arent we all er making the mistake of taking TTT seriously ?
let us calm ourselves and - - - - breathe - -- -
and whisper - - - foooooooooo!

that is better - - carry on boys and girls!

[Mamyalynne]

Let's try that once more in it's entirety, without your edit.

//The reports ( if they prove to be true ) indicate a natural conception TTT.//

[Mamyalynne]

Apologies Naomi, I'll leave him to it now - almost out of paracetamol.

[Mozz71]

When Peter says we shouldn't take someone seriously, that is some insult :-P

[ToraToraTora]

mami: "Let's try that once more in it's entirety, without your edit.

//The reports ( if they prove to be true ) indicate a natural conception TTT.//" - I left that out to spare your embarrassment, there is no way that a human female can give birth to 10 children naturally in the same pregnancy, end of.
