Fertility Treatment


Many couples dream of having their own children. Expecting a child is an exciting period in anyone’s life. However, what if you can have more than one at a given time? Think further than twins and triplets — how about having 7 babies together? While it happens (very rarely), the survival chances of all the babies are rather slim. There is a fertility treatment that aids women in the process, but exactly how pregnant will it get them?

Bobbi and Kenny McCaughey fell in love and got married. They wanted to start a family, just like any other ordinary couple. But their dream to have a baby turned out to be more complicated than they had anticipated. It took many trips to the doctor’s office before there was any hope on the horizon. The doctor guided the new couple through a series of tests and procedures to help them achieve a successful and healthy pregnancy. Not long after, Bobbi fell pregnant and there was real hope in a situation that seemed to be without any hope at all. But becoming pregnant once was not going to be the end of the road for Bobbi and Kenny McCaughey. They believed that having a child was a blessing, so why would they only want one blessing? But the pair would never have expected just how many blessing they were about to receive.

This is more than just a story about fertility treatment and the miracles it can perform. This is also not merely a story about having children, but rather this story runs far deeper than that. The almost unbelievable story of the McCaughey septuplets is one that brings joy and hope to all that have ever had a difficult pregnancy, or to anyone who has experienced the hardships of yearning for a baby. These septuplets were a miracle, and now that 20 years have passed since they were born, they are the oldest living septuplets in history.

This story will melt your heart and bring tears to your eyes. It’s a journey through our emotions that we all need to take, because while we’re busy worrying about things that might never happen, we should be counting our blessings. The McCaugheys are still counting theirs.

Bobbi and Kenny McCaughey had their first child in 1996. They considered Mikayla Marie to be a blessing, especially considering the fact that Bobbi had pituitary gland problems which is known to cause fertility issues. The couple immediately began discussing trying for a second child.
