First ultrasound...TRIPLETS?!

Hello bumpers, this is my first pregnancy after trying for over a year and at my first ultrasound yesterday, they found 3 gestational sacs!!! I was/am shocked and overwhelmed. I always knew that twins were a possibility as they run in my family but I am truly nervous at the prospect of triplets. My ultrasound was early (5w6d) as I'm heading overseas next week and my doc wanted to ensure everything is fine before my trip. The thing is, the tech only found 2 yolk sacs and said the 3rd may not be viable. She may have been trying to calm my nerves though. Would it be too early to see the third yolk sac? Any advice? Thanks!

    Omg that's fantastic!!! I'm FTM having spontaneous twins and totally thrilled. My first US was same time as you at 5+ wks and they saw 2 yolk sacs and one they weren't totally sure but said it could have been too early to tell. Had a repeat US in 2 weeks and it was twins for sure. So point being just be patient! It probably is a little too early. Congrats!!!
