Triplets

Bex • 1 yr old triplets from IVF

Hi ladies!

I'm in a bit of a shocked state right now so I'm turning to this board. My husband and I did IVF due to Unexplained Infertility and no success with Clomid and IUI's. We chose to transfer 2 embryos on Day 3. We have had betas and a few ultrasounds at this point. I'm 6w6d. We a first U/S where it looked like 1 baby, then on the second U/S it was 2. I'd had some spotting so when I asked about another dark spot she said not to worry it was a bleed. Welp, no it wasn't, because we went in today and it's three!  

Girls, I'm so happy for success with IVF on the first try and being pregnant after the long ride that is infertility but I'm flipping out a bit about this news of triplets. How in the world are we going to make this work?  I'm taller but average weight...where will they go??  I'm a teacher and I'm really concerned about how this will play out for leave. Our contract is not very maternity friendly. Will I even be able to work after?

They told us at the transfer that we had a 2-3% chance we could get triplets. It seemed so small I wasn't worried. Now I'm worried. I feel guilty feeling upset and scared because we wanted these babies so badly!  I'm just SOOOO scared of the unknown. Tell me I'm not alone!
