Right, but considering shes currently a student working on a Masters, and in two articles theres been a lot of mention of 'recovery' time, obviously, but no mention of a job, one would come to the conclusion that she probably cant afford all this.

And is this in vitro only for the previous batch, or does it include the new six as well?

If its all IVF, you be looking at what? $10K for the first...how many? and then $2K/kid from there?

Jesus man, now thats insane! Forget 14 kids being insane, 14 IVFs is the ludicrous part.

It'd be cheaper (and probably more fun) for her to just go to a bar and get drunk and knocked up.
