A couple in Eqypt - already having 3 girls as kids - turned to IVF (in-vitro fertilization) in hoping to try for a boy. Instead the woman gave birth to septulets: four boys and three girls.

The babies are said to weigh between 1.45 and 2.8kg (3-6lb); the couple already have three girls.

They sought fertility treatment hoping to have a boy, and were said to be astonished at the multiple pregnancy

According to experts, septulets are quite rare, much less to have them survive all. Multiple pregnancy is a common 'side effect' of IVF-assisted pregnancies.
