It seemed like a regular check-up for Bobbi at the doctor’s, until the results from her scan came back. She did not have one embryo growing inside of her, she didn’t have two or three either. She had SEVEN! This was very overwhelming news, but it also posed a certain danger to Bobbi.
Selective Reduction
Even though fertility treatment helps a woman fall pregnant, it can also cause complications like in the case of the McCaugheys. The doctors explained the risk of such a pregnancy and took it further by telling the couple that they should consider “selective reduction”. The process protects the embryos most likely to survive and neglects those that probably won’t.
