32. My sister just had IVF.
The cost was about $15,000.

I don't know how many eggs were extracted and fertilized. Three were deemed viable and healthy, two were implanted. Only one "took," which is good because my sister has multiple high-risk factors that would have made carrying twins even more risky.

I have no idea what will happen to embryo #3. I guess it'll just sit in some cryonic capsule and get freezer burn.

What a waste. And they are pro-choice Dems, too, who wouldn't even consider adoption.
