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.

It was probably 7 IVF's (though are there multiples in the earlier kids? I haven't seen much about the first 6) - I don't think it costs anymore to implant 1 embryo or 8, but you're right - if you're not working, I'm not sure how you could afford this. I read in one article that she was paid to do this - which has me scratching my head - usually if you're a surrogate, you're paid, but not if you keep the kids yourself.
I also read that her fallopian tubes were blocked, hence IVF. So all the drunk bar sex won't give you a kid if you're basically infertile.
But I agree, it'd be more fun that an appointment with Mr. Turkey Baster.
Hah, I know way too much about the logistics of IVF/IUI/Fertility drugs.
