    no they did not have to goto a fertility clinic. Especially when they had 2 already.

    From the news article:
    The Lockport couple had been trying for two years to conceive a child before they contacted a fertility specialist.
    “That was our plan — to have one more,” she said.

    I agree with you in that they didn't go there with the intent of having quintuplets. So, once they found out she was carrying five, instead of the usual one or two, she should have went for the reduction.
    No pain, no gain.

    hard call though for a woman to make, how do you decide which ones to reduce? the changes of her carrying that many babies was very small to begin with although I understand that that is the chance you take with taking infertility treatments. I dont know what I would do in that case, I suppose no woman really does know until she finds herself in that situation. You can say you know what you would do ... but until you are really in that situation you really dont know ....

    douggie, that same website says "Continuation of this program beyond that period (2010) is dependent on the availability of funds."

    ...wait, so, they're saying NYS has the funds NOW?????

    I was in that situation. My fertility dr. wanted us to reduce. I declined. We lost a triplet naturally at 10 weeks.

    It's possible the couple didn't reduce due to moral reasons. But I don't know their story.

    FTR, our doctor wanted to take the baby that was the smallest in size (the one we ended up losing). So I imagine they'd go by size or heart rate to selectively reduce.

    Stupid or not, this part has me interested:

    The program includes a subsidy for testicular sperm extraction (TESE)

    Exactly. nobody knows until they are in the situation.

    My friend was pregnant with 3 ... they wanted to "selectively harvest" one of them. They told her they would take Baby A because it was the easiest one to get to. She kept all 3 they were delivered at 28 weeks. She had 2 girls and a boy, one of the girls died at 2 weeks. The other 2 are now healthy and in middle school. And Baby A ..... is my son's best friend.
