tried repeatedly to have a child via IVF.

Grandma has been watching the news and knows that there is some controversy over the claimed success rates of the IVF industry.  [see http://theconversation.com/the-art-of-deception-ivf-success-rates-are-not-what-you-think-42894]

She’s been reluctant to discuss this with her daughter as she didn’t want to elevate existing hormone driven levels of anxiety.

She need not have worried.  The young people have “gone for broke” and had three embryos implanted.  Amazingly** all have resulted in pregnancy and a delivered baby/babies.
