Margaret and Frank conceived through in-vitro fertilization after several attempts and spent a lot of money. For the first trimester of her pregnancy, she received daily injections to prevent miscarriage and was placed on bed rest for the final 4 months. She gave birth to healthy twin boys two months after her 61st birthday. Both Margaret and Frank took medical leave from their jobs?
