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

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?

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.
