96. I seriously doubt it. The media doesn't really understand the differences in fertility treatments.
They think everything is IVF. I've seen them misreport in other situations.

Back 10-15 years ago, transferring large numbers of embies was not too uncommon. (A friend of mine got pg with sextuplets that way; she had selective reduction and had healthy twins.)

It's pretty rare today to transfer more than 3, especially now they've gotten better at blastocyst transfers. The only thing with blast transfers, though, is that spontaneous identical twinning is more common. So, you can transfer two embies and end up with quads.
