Many TLC viewers are excited for the Sept. 18 premiere of Sweet Home Sextuplets, a new docuseries following parents Eric and Courtney Waldrop and their nine kiddos which include fraternal sextuplets born in December. Considering families with multiples are interesting to many people (Outdaughtered, anyone?) it’s no surprise fans are curious about the chances of having sextuplets. As it turns out, the phenomenon is quite rare even with fertility treatments.
Some fans might be interested to learn that Courtney and Eric’s path to conceiving sextuplets is similar to a lot of other stories out there. After giving birth to Saylor in December 2008, Courtney suffered a series of miscarriages due to a blood clotting disorder, according to TLC. Courtney and Eric then turned to fertility medication, and they welcomed the twins in January 2012.
Given the severity of Courtney’s condition, she and Eric gave fertility treatments another shot following the twin’s arrival, a move that resulted in the sextuplet’s conception. But it’s important to realize it’s no longer common for a person to conceive six kids as a result of medical intervention, like In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). Dr. Avner Hershlag, chief of Northwel Health Fertility in Manhasset, New York explained to Live Science:
In the early days of IVF, [it] was still responsible for a high percentage of multiples, because it was not uncommon to put [in] three, four, five or even six embryos at a time. But as researchers optimized IVF techniques, they increased the likelihood that each embryo transferred would result in a pregnancy. Our field has now moved to strictly limit the number of embryos transferred. In general, almost all younger women treated at reputable fertility centers will have a single embryo transferred.
