Q: 3 Gestational Sacs , 0 Fetus !

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 = (
