i just had an ultrasound today and the
result was perplexing. here it is in part
:
gestational sacs :
A - 2.39cm - 7 weeks 5 days
B - 1.98cm - 6 weeks 3 days
C - 1.31cm - 5 weeks 3 days
cervix :
3.36cm
comments :
there are 3 poorly decidualized
gestational sacs showing NO yolk sac or
fetal pole
impression :
early multiple pregnancy
trichorionic, triamniotic
normal ovaries
i just don't understand. at first seeing
three dark circles made my heart skip a
beat as my current situation cannot permit
/ afford me to have triplets! and on my
very first time at that. however, after
two doctors examined me with the
ultrasound, they explained that the 3 sacs
contained NOTHING. not one of them. to be
quite honest, i considered abortion even
before the ultrasound, because this has
caused me to be bedridden (sleeping &
eating) for most of the past month.
however, the procedure is illegal where i
live. this new finding has made me even
more frightened. what is wrong with me?
i've never taken fertility drugs and there
are no twins/ triplets etc in both mine
and my partner's family. also, how can
they develop at 3 separate times? the
ultrasound clearly shows how largely
different they are in size.
what should i expect? i want to prepare
myself before i go to an ob-gyne... i'd
also like to add that money might be an
issue if i have to undergo something
drastic = (

i strongly suggest that you demand a
second ultrasound. when was your last
period?
