Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I just can't imagine 8 babies. I mean, I can imagine it, since I have worked in a daycare center, but I can't imagine doing it at home.
On the "best practices" front, the article linked says:
Under the guidelines of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, U.S. doctors normally would not implant more than two embryos at a time in a woman under the age of 35. After that age it is more difficult to become pregnant. The mother of the octuplets is believed to be 33, based on available public records.
and
Hospital officials said the woman came to Kaiser already in her 12th week of pregnancy. They did not say where she received the fertility treatment.

is that if the woman is under 35 and has a good fertility history
That would account for my friend having more embryos implanted, as she had a bad fertility hx, and was probably right around 35 at the time.
Obviously, I'm not well informed on any of this because I was lucky enough to conceive without any problems at 40.

I swear, I will never understand American politics.
It gets weird at times. People still make Clinton out to have been just politically left of communism, but he probably did more to shrink the government than any president since Reagan.
Happy Birthday Anne! My transition to the 40s is coming up fast, glad to hear it went smoothly.
