The Odds

One thing I find frustrating about this process is that we are surrounded by information, but it is hard to know what any of it means. For instance, it is said that our current treatment has a 20% chance of twins. But how does that information relate to the ultrasound we saw last week, with multiple largish follicles? Does that increase the chance of twins, or (as the doctor said the ultrasound results were normal) is the 20% number normal for ultrasounds that look like that?

It's a frustrating thing for a thoughtful worrier, to not know what to worry about....
