TTC after 35

Update (bfp mentioned)

Hi ladies,

I haven't quite moved over to another board yet. I kind of like it here and try to chime in when I can. Anyway as you know we had two five day blasts transferred and a bfp three wks ago. Today was our first ultrasound. I am six weeks five days. To our shock I am carrying triplets. Both implanted and one split. I cannot believe it. I would love to be excited but the doc was very doom and gloom about one of them not making it in the next weeks and she even mentioned selective reduction! I did not wish for triplets but now that they're here I don't want any to go. She also talked about what a risk it is with me being 40. Anyway, I won't bother you guys with this but I did want to follow up. I still want to be around and post when I have something to offer. As you know you amass a lot of info and weird acronyms along the way. Thinking of you all!
Me:39 Dx LPD, Fibroid, AMA and all that goes with that. H:37 Dx low motility and low morphology. TTC since 3/12. Clomid 8/12 and 9/12: BFN. 11/12 on a break for Myomectomy sched. 11/26. Resume TTC early 2013.

    Thanks guys! Hope I wasn't insensitive to post this here. I did like to read update and bfps but I totally respect some don't. H is excited which is weird and I'm a little (a lot) shell shocked. I have to do weekly U/S now so my next is Thursday. One of the identicals hb was slow so there's concern.

    It just goes to show ladies you can go from one month wondering if you will ever get pregnant to this. Life is very strange that way. And I still identify more to some extent with the it not happening part - it's just weird. I may not feel totally over infertility until I have 1, 2 or 3 in my arms in April.

    Out of curiosity, did you have ICSI? A good friend of mine had it & the egg split. Her theory is that it is more likely to split with ICSI. BTW she has beautiful, healthy, identical twin girls.

    Interesting! yes we had ICSI although I really thought it was the assisted hatching (which we also had) that caused the splitting!

    Yes the doc said the pregnancy won't be jeopardized by a loss. She also said I won't experience it as a miscarriage (no bleeding, cramping etc). It will be absorbed by the hormones and I won't know until ultrasound.

    We have friends that had triplets in early May.  She carried all 3 until 36 weeks and they are doing well.  Only one required NICU time and everyone went home together with Mom and Dad.  She got the same gloom and doom speech that you did, and they also suggested selective reduction (they did IVF, transferred 2 and one split).  All three babies are 4 months old-happy and healthy!!  Wishing you the same outcome.  If you want to be in touch, I'm sure that they'd be happy to share their experiences with you (as others shared their experiences with them when they were expecting).  Let me know-feel free to send me a PM and I'll get you connected.

    Me neither, so hopefully I don't have this wrong. If I do, someone please correct me. I believe ICSI is when the sperm cannot penetrate the egg, so it is injected into the egg.
