A married couple who struggled to conceive only discovered they were twins when they went through IVF. <\/p>\n
The unnamed couple underwent the treatment to help them have a baby. <\/p>\n
But doctors at the fertility lab noticed their DNA was abnormally similar. <\/p>\n
At first, lab technicians believed the pair may be unwitting cousins, but soon ruled that out because the DNA was too similar. <\/p>\n
Eventually doctors confronted the pair, who burst out in laughter when they were asked if they were related. <\/p>\n
A doctor at the clinic in Jackson, Mississippi, told theMississippi Herald: Its just a routine thing and we wouldnt normally check to see if there was a relationship between the two samples. <\/p>\n
But in this case the lab assistant involved was shocked by the similarity of each profile. <\/p>\n
Adding to the compelling evidence was the fact the pair shared the same birthday and that friends had remarked how similar they looked. <\/p>\n
The doctor who broke the news described how the wife pleaded with him to admit he was joking, but he added: I wish that I was, but they had to know the truth. <\/p>\n
It soon became clear that the pair were in fact unwitting siblings both having been adopted as babies to separate families when their parents were killed in a car crash. <\/p>\n
They later met at a university party and bonded over their similar backgrounds. <\/p>\n
The unnamed doctor added: The husband said that a lot of people remarked on the fact they shared the same birthdays and looked similar to each other, but he said it was just a funny coincidence and that the couple were definitely not related. <\/p>\n
The pair are now said to be re-considering their future together. <\/p>\n
