You Said How Many?

So… let’s just say I have a litter.
There are at least triplets in this thar uterus.

Dr. D groaned, “Oh”.
My response? An involuntary “yes!” with fist pump.

One sac is significantly smaller than the others.

But then there is this “fluid collection” which both Matt and I thought looked suspiciously like a gestational sac. (In fact, at one point, Dr. D identified it as an embryo).

Dr. D, being a reponsible physician, is very concerned that I have so many.
But Mr. Sassy and I couldn’t be happier.
In fact, we are walking around with grins from ear to ear.
Very satisfied customers.

As we see it… each embryo has about a 20% chance of miscarrying at this point. Maybe it is crude… but we see having three sacs at this point good news. We see it as increased odds that we may actually have a take-home baby from this ordeal.

And yes, I am not ignorant regarding the complications associated with triplet pregnancies (I have spent time working in the NICU). But as I was telling Matt on our way home… why dwell on that now? It won’t change the outcome. If we do end up with triplets, there will be plenty of time to worry and deal with that later. No matter the outcome, I do not regret the decision to transfer all four embryos.

For now… we have at least three beautiful chances at a baby.
