Update: Triplets!

I knew there was no way our appointment today could be as shocking and stressful as last week's and I was right!

The same intern came in with a new NP and they both talked about how shocked we were last week and asked how we were doing.  The intern said that I was entirely red from the neck up (not a weird thing for me).  I said that we are doing much better after having a week to research and let the information sink in.

Immediately we saw 3 babies on the ultrasound.  The now identical twins are measuring 7w3d and the singleton or "Singleton" as we like to call him/her is measuring 7w6d.  I'm very really that they are all growing appropriately!  My RE cannot measure heartbeat, so I'll have to wait until the regular OB for that.

I also found out today that I get to quit Progesterone at 9 weeks which is really soon.  I wish they would have told me before I re-ordered since it is damn expensive!

That's it for the moment...I'm feeling really relieved and quite a bit more normal right now.

  4. Yeah! Glad they are growing more on track and yes- three will be overwhelming,,, but will give them more of a chance to make it and be healthy rather than four. So glad you are feeling better and all is progressing smoothly.

  15. MGG -

    I am SO glad to hear that things are progressing as they should be, and that you guys are doing so well! Just like TTC success doesn't happen right away, the stress and anxiety doesn't seem to go away with the BFP... sending you big hugs and lots of hope.

    XOXO

  17. You can totally do this! So glad the twins (Luc and Leia, though I knows it's impossible for them to be diff sexes) and Han Solo (as I like to refer to them all now) are measuring on track, and appear otherwise healthy. Too bad about the progesterone! Maybe the pharmacy will take some back? Worth asking :)

    When's the next appt?
