My understanding is they take a bunch of eggs and fertilize them. A percentage of them take, then they insert them into the womb and some of them take. They used to insert a dozen fertilized eggs hoping 1 or 2 would take. That's why you hear about people having octoplits (sp?). Now they go in and see if 5 took they'll abort 3. Anyway, if none take they can use the extra embryos. The procedure costs around 15 grand so they like to make extras. The extra embryo are available in case you want more kids a few years later, stuck in a custody fight or people just don't know what to do with them.
