IVF babies from same collection - similarities

Just been thinking, if you had two or more children via IVF from the same egg collection, did you find them to be similar in looks and or personality etc?
I’ve got one IVF baby and I was wondering if their sibling would be similar to them at all if we decided to go again :)

We have three from the same round - and a picture of them in the same petri dish - and it's a family joke how completely different they are. The boys are going to be 6 inches difference in height, different hair and eye colour, one a complete theatre kid who looks very much like his maternal grandfather and the other a gentle dreamer who is the spitting image of his dad. Our girl has different hair and eye colour again, looks like I did as a baby, and is a brilliantly ferocious character.

Love them all to bits, but if you stood them in a line up you'd swear they were no relation.

Thank you so much for your response! That is so interesting, and I had no idea they could be so different!! :)

They're from two different eggs and two different sperm - they wouldn't be any more similar than siblings conceived at different times (if natural conception).
