Cousin in law's husband's sister. (Long)

LOL whew that's a mouthful right there.

Essentially, when we were in Colorado this week visiting said Cousin-in-law, she was telling us that her sister in law is 15ish weeks pregnant...with triplets. She was going to the exact doc we are going to, and did the treatment that we are going to be pursuing when we start back with treatment(IUI/Injects). Supposedly she only had 2 follies, and got triplets!

Now, I know that "relation" doesnt sound very close, but you must know DH's family. They are ranchers and so everyone grew up within a radius of probably an hour of each other(I'm literally the only in-law that is from out of state!). So even though, she isn't even technically family...she is someone we see about 3x+ a year at various family functions.

I am happy for her, come to find out they tried for 3.5 years and she has Endo, so this news actually gives me hope.

BUT!! Since everyone is always together inlaws wise, Im really kind of nervous that either

A) my inlaws will just ASSUME that we will get pregnant with that treatment, and that we wont need say, IVF. (Im praying its all it takes, but every IF case is different!!) Cousin in law already made it sound like this girl had such a harder time than me, which kind of made me upset. She wouldnt let me talk about my issues, just emphasized that hers was worse. (She has no idea the extent of my problems)

 OR

B) They will start to freak out that we are doing the same treatment and we will be hearing ALL THE TIME "YOUR GONNA GET TRIPLETS" or something to that effect. Like we don't know the risks going in or something. 

I really just needed to get this out and see what everyone's thoughts were lol

If you made it this far here is a piece of chocolate cakeimage

Thanks!

    It sucks when people minimize your feelings or blow the whole thing out of proportion.  If they start going on about how you can get triplets you just have to shut them down.  State that you realize the risks and the benefits and sometimes one outweighs the other.  And then get up and leave the conversation.  As far as people that minimize how you feel, I have come to the conclusion it's just easier to let them.  You know the truth and that's really all that matters.
