Thought the IVF & FET ladies might like this article! It's about 3 sisters born 4 years apart with frozen embryo's.

    That's sweet!

    For some reason though, it bugs me that they refer to them as triplets because they were conceived at the same time. To me they are not triplets. They are genetically no different that plain old sisters.

    Not sure why it bugs me, just one of those weird things. How do you all feel about referring to embryos fertilized at the same time but born at different times, twins or triplets? Gives new meaning to Octomom. 

    Single Mother by Choice. Life didn't work out the way I planned so I did it on my own. IUI #s 1-3, unmedicated = BFN, IUI #s 4-6, 50mg Clomid, Ovidrel = BFN IVF #1: 23R, 20M, 17F. 5 day transfer 2 blasts. 2 Snowbabies BFP 6dp5dt, Beta #1 7dp5dt = 58, Beta #2 9dp5dt = 114, Beta #3 10dp5dt = 187 1st Ultrasound = 5/3, not much to see yet. 2nd Ultrasound = 5/17, TWINS!!! Hospital Bed Rest at 32 weeks due to pre-ecclampsia and severe edema. Audrey Grace, 5lbs9oz, & Lydia Louise, 6lbs, born via emergency c-section on 12/6/12 at 36w1d My IVF Journey

    I thought their story was very inspiring for the most part but I was wondering why the reference to "triplet sisters" as well?!  I would have to agree that they are sisters and not triplets.  It's possible whoever wrote this article did not understand a lot about FET's.

    Ditto, thanks PP's for saying this. They all came from the same "batch" but not tiplets in my book. A very sweet story!

    I agree, triplets isn't that I'd say.  Even though it was at the same time.  I want to help big sister hold the one, its neck looks painful!  That is a sweet story though :)

    I agree that they are not triplets, just sisters.  I've seen this before in articles and I think they say that to add some sensationalism.  And BTW, I love that the article says she "fell pregnant".  That sounds so odd to me!
