TTC-Single Mom By Choice-40-chance of multiples?

Episcopalgirl2

Hello all, 
I have wanted to be a mom for a long time and once I turned 40 last July, I knew that I could no longer wait for Mr. Right to get started on my family.  I have had 5 IUIs to date.  This current cycle, my doctor added clomid/clomid challenge along with ultrasound monitoring and the trigger shot.  At today's day 13 ultrasound the doc. found 2 mature follicles and possibly a third.  I was warned of the possibility of multiples but then was told that if I was doing IVF, they would fertilize 2-3 eggs anyway.  In other words, should I be freaking out about the possibility of multiples through IUI, especially given that I am doing this on my own?  Or, should I be encouraged that the multiple follicles may give me a better chance to conceive at all?

Do follicles mean babies? Sorry I have no experience with this.

Not sure that this board is the right place to get the right answers. Increased folicles mean you may realease multiple good eggs. If you really want a baby I guess you just be happy and go from there. You could always reduce if you need to, but you'll have 9 months to plan for whoever will be arriving. Good luck.

Hello @episcopalgirl2! How did your iui go?
Im too a single mum by choice. As I can't conceive natural and have to get pregnant by IVF, why wait for mister right
I hope by now you are happy pregnant and soon a mummy. 
If you feel like chatting, let me know.
Boards that helped me are the infertility board and pregnant after infertility as those ladies do know about IUI and IVF.
