Success after IF

Thanks ladies. Brief update on today's u/s

Three babies. Three heartbeats. One was smaller (slightly) and because of position my nurse couldn't measure a heartbeat so they aren't sure about that one but the other two are on track and growing appropriately. RE was out today recuperating from his own surgery and called me this afternoon to "graduate" me. He'd like me to see an MFM ASAP. So. That's it. I had a real breakdown on the parking lot, called DH, ate lunch and just started getting ready for Disney.  I'm going to spend the next week trying to enjoy Christmas and my daughter's first trip to Disney and then get back to worrying next week ;) 

 

I don't mean to be an as$ about this. I'm more excited today than last week but well, this was so not our plan. I officially take back everything I've ever said about PCOS ladies not necessarily needing to worry on injectibles. I think triplets will end up costing us more than OOP IVF.

    not that being "normal" matters in this case, but I think your reaction is "normal."

    Give things time to soak in, see where everything goes, and just know you're not alone in this. Congrats regardless! I keep thinking about Reem's "mantra" about how they never promised it'd be easy, just that it'd be worth it.  ;-)

    I can imagine how stressful this must be.  I don't think you are being an a$$.  Infertility has put all of us in this really crappy predicament where we have all had to weigh risk versus benefit and, well....sometimes the results aren't really what we were hoping for.  I will keep you in my prayers for best possible outcome for your family.

    I don't think you are being an a$$ at all - I think the feelings you have a realistic and normal.  Triplets are a blessing but with that comes a lot of concerns - financial being one of them.  

    Take it one day at a time and enjoy your trip!

    I cant imagine how big of a shock this is but you can do it.  I'm sure the other triplet moms will tell you that they too were scared so you are not alone. 

     Thinking of you and those babies!

    it's normal to be freaked the out when you are pg with multiples- don't worry!

    my cousin just had triplets when TTC #2... her older son was 5.... they make it work- we all do.

    come on over to the multiples board - there are lots of trip moms that can help you out with everything!

    congrats- and have a great disney trip!

    Hugs...I know the feeling. I would have been quite content with 1 baby this pregnancy and multiples in a few years (thy run in my family plus IF). I remember being very scared and felt terribly guilty, I didn't know if I should hope for the third to not make it or not, then felt terrible about that. Enjoy your Christmas and Disney....what will be will be. Feel free to pm or email me.
