By the time I was stripped from the waist down, I was visibly shaking. Elizabeth did her best to calm me before the doctor came in, but to no avail. Dr. B saw how nervous I was, and reassured me that they were just looking for a gestational sack that day. He inserted the dildocam and I saw nothing. He moved it around a little more, and I thought I saw something, but then he moved away. Back and forth he went, muttering to himself and looking at the screen with a furrowed brow.
"How many embryos did we put back?" he asked
"Two", I told him "that's all I had left".
"Hmmm" he said and squinted at the screen some more, "are you sure they put two back?"
"yes, two" I repeated
"Okay," he said after a moment, "because I'm seeing three".
Ladies, I nearly fell off the table. I will admit that I dropped the f-bomb, quite audibly, in the exam room. Both embryos took, and one had the nerve to divide. I am so excited to finally be pregnant, but scared to death about the idea of triplets. I know it's still early. The scan was at 5 weeks 2 days. I could lose any or all of them. Anything can happen. I've spent the past 48+ hours in a total daze. This is the last thing I was expecting. I had prepared myself for the possibility of twins. But triplets? When only 2 embryos were transferred? The chances of that happening were less than 1%. I'm a bit overwhelmed with emotions of all sorts right now. On the 29th, I go in for a second ultrasound when they'll be looking for a heartbeat / heartbeats. I'm so glad I have Christmas and a new dog to keep me distracted. Until then, I can safely say that this is the coolest Christmas present I've ever gotten.

Holy shit!!! The more the merrier I say.How blessed are you guys:)
OMG, HOLY FUCKEN SHIT!!!!! I didn't see that coming at all. Triplets, OMG!!!! Isn't that life just putting it's feet up and laughing as hard as it can? Going from being scared that none took from the two they put back to having triplets. I know it's scary but I'm thrilled that you are pregnant. I don't know if you are on bbc but there are a few moms of triplets on there that could be great support during your pregnancy and after you deliver. OMG, Triplets. Congratulations and Merry Christmas to you and Elizabeth. I'm sure you'll never forget this one.

Holy moley!!! Congrats x 3!
P.S. I just read somewhere that when embryos are cultured to the 5+ day mark they are at higher risk of splitting...oooops!
Holy shit!! I bet that was a shock alright! Wow we're pretty blown away over here, unbelievable! Congratulations that is just incredible. It must be frightening too but wow...that's some success!
Wow. Cubed.
Thinking good thoughts for you between now and next week.

And the crazy thing is that this happened to another online friend of mine (hail mary transfer of the last two embryos) and her triplets are almost two now!
SO excited & hopeful for you guys.

Congratulations! I'm new to your blog and need to catch up, but couldn't pass by without a huge smile and much happiness for you. This train is never taking us to the expected.
Holy Fucking Shit. Jackie texted me and told me to check your blog. I was so scared something bad was going on--did NOT expect to read this!!!
You have been on a rollercoaster, that is for sure.
WOW. Congrats--your head must be spinning!!
This same thing happened to a friend of mine a little over a year ago. If you want to talk about it, PM me and I can hook you two up. Hers just turned one.
The universe never gives you more than you can handle....
Oh wow. First, I am so glad that it wasn't bad news and that you are pregnant. Secondly, wow. That is scary, but you do never know what will happen. It's still the beginning and hopefully if one of those three won't make it, it will be early on. I'm hoping people won't flame me for that. I can just imagine how difficult triplets would be. That said, if those 3 do make it to babyhood, you will love the heck out of all of them and do whatever it takes. Either way, you will be ok. Wishing you tons of luck!
OMG! That is totally awesome (and a bit frightening!) Fingers Crossed for your next peek at them!
Wow. What amazing crazy news. I can't imagine what you're thinking at this point! You can handle anything, just know that. Happy Holidays!!!!!
WOW!! This happened to my friend and her triplet girls are now 4 years old! It might be scary, but truly amazing! I'm so happy for you...what a story!
Best wishes!
WOW! I don't even know what to say. I'm sitting here in shock so I can't even imagine how you feel. Everything will turn out great!
Wow!! Congrats to you guys. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.
What exciting news!!! Congratulations. :)
Wow, I just clicked through from an announcement on another blog and wanted to say congratulations and best of luck! Enjoy the holiday and your new doggy!
That is just the ULTIMATE surprise. I can imagine feeling like falling off the table...along with a triple F bomb. Congrats to you!!
Congratulations! Congratulations! Congratulations! I'll keep my fingers crossed for your heartbeat scan.
Holy crap! Here from LFCA. You are VERY PREGNANT!!! Enjoy!
Here from LFCA. I think seeing three on that ultrasound would make me drop the F-bomb too. Congrats and hopes for a safe pregnancy...
Wow! That is some crazy news. My partner is always saying she'd like to have twins and get all the babymaking out of the way at once. Still, holy heck.
Hi! I just stumbled upon your blog today, and I wanted to say congratulations!!!!!!
