The size of a woman’s uterus may be the deciding factor when contemplating how many embryos should be transferred during IVF. Erickson Law's Surrogacy & Egg Donation Blog offers information on a recent study which indicates women with the smallest uteri [63 millimeters or less] had a greater chance having babies born severely premature with increased number of fetal deaths - in pregnancies with multiple births.

The moment of truth finally came yesterday.. It had been two weeks since my surrogate mom got the positive result from her pregnancy blood test. Her hCG level was more than triple the average, so we were very concerned about the possibility of having triplets. Since then, I'd had the mixed emotions of joy and fear, thinking of the complications associated with the multiple pregnancies (selective reductions and all that). Though I'd waited for this positive pregnancy result for 4 years, I couldn't celebrate 100% because of this.
