Good! I see you had to either take off the shoes on a foot or take out your calculator.

How many kids there are are not the doctor's business. Nor is the parentage of the kids or the lady's lifestyle.
I suspect that 8 embryos (or fewer if there were monozygotic twins) were implanted to help ensure *one* baby. The other seven probably were not planned. At least we know that they were wanted (well, at least one).
