I have such a big smile on my face I don't even know how to express it in a silly reply to your post. I am SO SO SO excited for you and have everything crossed for sticky babes.
Tri, that's not a stupid question at all. We were given a 30% chance of getting pregnant at all with this cycle. Of that 30%, there's only 5% chance that there will be triplets. So, I think that is 1.5% chance. That's why we ended up deciding to transfer all three. We weren't expecting three to survive, so it was kind of sprung on us to discuss "reducing" (which we are NOT okay with) and what we were willing to do.

So, say they are all super babies and do stick, you are totally OK with triplets?

Yes. The doctor will most definitely suggest that we reduce but they know that we won't want to. If it risks my life we'll consider it, but I'd rather not reduce. That's such a euphemism anyway.
ETA: Of course this is how we feel NOW. We're not in the situation so we can't say for sure how we would react. If it were a case in which we had to reduce in order to save me and the other two babies, then that's different I guess.

I totally understand. I don't know if I would be able to make the decision to reduce either.

How cool! I will keep my fingers and toes crossed for you.
This might be a really stupid question, but what's the likelihood they will all stick?
Best AW post ever!

Thanks, Ladies.
