#151435, "How may to put back to get triplets?"
Hello I have been a lurker here for a little while. I don’t
have triplets yet but I am hoping soon. My husband and I
have been TTC for 5 years with no success. we have recently
moved and met with a new RE to start IVF. I have always been
fascinated with and feel I would make a great mother to
triplets. In reading recently I see that there are others
who have done IVF expressly trying for triplets also. I was
hoping I could get a few questions answered from you. What
is the optimal number of embryos to put back to increase the
chances to get 3 to implant? I know there are no garantees
but I want the best chances posible. Is putting 3 back best
or is it better to put back 4 in case one doesn’t implant?
We have have male factor infertility so I think my chances
are high. Also did you discuss you desire for triplets with
your doctor? Was he supportive in helping achieve your end
goal or did he discourage you? I have not discussed this
with my doctor yet because I am afraid he will try to talk me
out of it and be discouranging. Would discussing it with my
doctor increase my chances?

>Is putting 3 back best or is it better to put back 4 in

3, unless you want to chance quadruplets.
>We have have male factor infertility so I think my

high.
Donor sperm?
>Also did you discuss you desire for triplets with your
doctor?
No, we were hoping for twins though.
>Was he supportive in helping achieve your end goal or did
he discourage you?
Usually, discussions with reproductive doctors are more about
optimizing chances for A pregnancy, period, and do not focus
on how many children are desired. Single pregnancies are
considered optimal and multiple pregnancies are considered
sub-optimal except maybe twins
>I have not discussed this with my doctor yet because I am
afraid he will try to talk me out of it and be discouranging.
You can let him know that you would be just as pleased with
more than one as you would be with one and then he may be
more open to putting one or two more embryos back in. Or
maybe not....
>Would discussing it with my doctor increase my chances?
Depending on your doctor and his style of course but... I
would think your desire would be viewed skeptically.
Most people on this board feel very blessed and joyful to
have three beautiful babies/children in their lives, me
included, but it doesn't always work out so happily, and
sometimes it's a heartbreaking disaster.
Just my opinion; best wishes for your reproductive journey.

Your RE is trying to ensure a healthy pregnancy. Most RE's will not "try" for multiples- as multiple pregnancies are riskier than singletons.

My RE actually considered my triplet pregnancy a
"failure" although we did IVF and only put back 2
excellent quality blastocysts and ended up with 3 (my boys
are identical twins). Fertility clinics pride their numbers
and statistics on singleton births - I know that if I told my
RE I wanted to try for triplets he would not have supported
it!!!!
A note of caution - While I love my triplets more than
anything in the world, it is HARD (at least the 1st 5 months
have been!) - especially having a 22 month old when they were
born. Also, I was very fortunate and spent no time on
bedrest, carried my trio to almost 37 weeks and they came
right home with me but that is not the norm...a triplet
pregnancy can be very difficult.
Best Wishes in your journey to motherhood!!!!

I don't think that I would discuss this plan with your doctor.
As mentioned by others here triplets are not easy. I feel
blessed everyday when I wake up to my smiling trio and I
would not trade them for anything. But the pregnancy part of
it can be very difficult. I was on bedrest from 20 weeks
until I delivered at 34 weeks. I only went out of the house
when I had to go to the doctor. I was admitted 3 times for
ptl. I had a nurse come to the house every week to give me
injections to help me from going into labor. My pregnancy all
in all was not as difficult as some you may read about on
here. There are so many complications that you have to
consider when dealing with a multiple pregnancy. We
transferred 3 embryos praying that 1 would implant. So as
they say "you cannot count your chickens before they are
hatched". Good luck to you.
Hugs,
Heather

after suffering through infertility myself, i can understand
why the thought of avoiding the pain of secondary infertility
would be attractive. on many occasions i've thought, as hard
as this is, i don't have to worry about going through
treatments again and i have three children.
that being said, i am APPALLED that you would TRY to conceive
triplets. i implore you to really consider your motivations;
i believe having triplets as your goal is completely SELFISH.
you are putting the lives of three innocent babies at risk
before they are even conceived. after the fact, we are all
faced with the risk of carrying three babies. most of us
PAINSTAKINGLY brought them into this world. most of us have
cried at the sides of three isolettes. some of us have cried
at funerals. and some of us dedicate ourselves to children
who must live with permanent effects of prematurity.
does that sound like reasonable risk because you think you
would be "a great mother to triplets"? how would
you even know that?? would it be worth it to jeopardize
three innocent babies because you are
"FASCINATED"???? ANY doctor who would support your
trying for triplets should have his license REVOKED.
frankly, it's people like you that encourage and perpetuate
the ignorance that many families of multiples endure from the
public.
if this post seems harsh, try holding your babies and feeling
the guilt of not being able to rip yourself in three- so that
each baby could have the undivided attention every baby
deserves. try feeling the pain of thinking that your babies
didn't ask for this. and that is with three healthy babies.
i can only imagine the guilt of having triplets via IVF and
not having a good outcome.
i can only hope that your IVF clinic is RESPONSIBLE enough to
follow ASRM guidelines when determining how many embryos to
transfer into a fertile uterus, and NOT the ignorant wishes
of their patients.

Although most triplet pregnancies are most often times
manageable from a medical standpoint.... It still presents a
unique set of dangers for both mom and baby. Triplet babies
are at higher risk for medical conditions like autism,
cerebral palsy, vision problems, and overall developmental
delays. It is not considered normal or healthy to WISH for
them and its even more suspect to actively TRY for them.
Whenever I hear about someone who is actively TRYING for
triplets I always question the person's motives. Why do they
want triplets? Is it the attention and fame they will bring
them? 99% of the time the answer to that question is yes. I
honestly can't imagine any appropriate reason for wanting to
put yourself and your children at risk. Keep in mind that
MOST of us on this board were trying for ONE baby when we
ended up with three/four. We did NOT seek this for
ourselves, but we did not run away from the challenge either
(selective reduction).
Perhaps you would benefit from having a little chat with a
psychatrist to understand your own motives. You may not
even realize them yourself. And I guarantee if you walk
into an RE's office saying you WANT triplets that's the first
place they are going to send you. And they might even reject
you outright.
I know I am totally going to get flamed for this, but I felt
it was important to say. I know there are many others who
feel that way but are too afraid to speak up.

Well said, Jen. I had a pretty great outcome in terms of the
health of my children, but there is no way that I'd ever
knowingly take on the risks of a triplet pregnancy again.

Check out a NICU. Tell me how great of a mom you'll be to 1
pound babies hooked up to ventilators. Then come back and
check out our bereavement board. Where did you get your
fairytale idea of triplets? I love my boys, I adore them. I
thank God everyday for my babies, but my triplets suffered so
much due to prematurity issues. That's not something I would
have ever wished on them.

I can't even believe you're thinking like this, and I hope
it's a joke.
Why don't you read a few posts in the bereaved parents
section and see if a "planned" triplet pregnancy is
still appealing, it doesn't always turn out perfect.
I have never had a post actually make me sick to my stomach.
Congrats, you're the first.
A good mother to triplets? You are already showing the
opposite to be true by purposely wanting to put them through
the high risks of a triplet pregnancy.
I know IF sucks...and I hope you have a healthy baby. But why
put three in danger because you are infatuated with
triplets?????

Well said by all.
It's just the beginning of your journey, good luck to you
sincerely. Be open to things not going as planned, thats the
infertility ride.
I have birth twins and also an adopted son, very close in
age.
If you want 3, adopt internationally, there are plenty of
kids out there, and that is quite a journey on its own, its
amazing and when you pay you then get a baby, thats a promise
not a crap shoot.
There is nothing wrong with spacing kids out either, just
remember the entire infertility "thing" is we can
not plan out when or how many kids we have like
"normal" people, so I do suggest support groups and
counseling for infertility, it's helpful.

well, girls, tell me this, can you be a lurker and not be a
member to this group? This person claims to be a lurker (or
just a sick mind) and yet she/he just joined the group
today........ ????
I will tell you this is no easy ride. I am 28 weeks today
and I am laying here in bed paranoid of PTL. It consumes me
as I lost the other 3 at 22 weeks. I don't want these boys
early. And I mean I am REALLY paranoid.
Someone, if you could, check on this person.......

As someone who has gone throught IF for 5+ years to get my
miracles, after having the blessings of God to have my 2
older children, I'm insulted to read this post!! I can't
believe you would come here and ask us how we got triplets!!!
I personally was not trying for triplets. I was praying and
hoping month after month for years to have one baby. I never
dreamed I would have 3 babies. I actually was starting to
think I would never have another baby period. But I was
blessed with my miracles and let me tell you, it was THE
hardest thing I've ever done in my life. The whole entire
pregnancy was filled with worry and fear that I would lose 1,
2 or all of my babies. I spent 90% of my pregnancy on bedrest
from bleeding, contractions very early on and then the last
10 weeks in the hospital hooked up to monitors and magnesium
sulfate to help keep my babies in as long as possible, to
give them the best chance possible...I know that's not how I
envisioned my pregnancy to go.
Then my babies were born and I didn't get to see them for an
entire day. They were intubated right away (tubes down their
throats to help them breath, in case you haven't researched
enough yet) and I couldn't hold my babies for almost a week
after their lives began. My smallest gave us a couple of
scares, but wss a fighter. I spent every day - all day that I
could in that NICU room with my children and worrying and
praying every day that they would come home and not get sick
while in the NICU, not have permanent damage from the
medications they were on to sustain their lives, etc...Every
time the phone rang at home, I prayed to God that it wasn't
the NICU calling to say something bad was happening to my
babies...I was one of the lucky ones. There are some here
that weren't as lucky as me and my heart breaks every time I
see a post from them and I pray that things could have been
different. They worked just as hard as me and things turned
out so different....
I would suggest you seriously think about your reasons for
wanting triplets. If it is for the attention, trust me, you
will tire of it VERY quickly. Most of us here want to blend
in with everyone else, most of us here don't want to be
stared at and most of us here would rather perfect strangers
kept their comments and their hands to themselves.
Try instead going into IVF with the idea that you want to
have a healthy baby. Try to get some counseling and get to
the bottom of your ideas of being a mommy. Being a mommy to 3
at once is very hard. You can't give them the attention they
need and you have to split your time between them, sure they
learn to deal, but why should they have to??
If you think having multiples promises help in the formula
and diaper department, blah, blah, trust me, it doesn't!!
Some of us get lucky with some help, but most have to go into
debt temporarily to cover the cost of all the food, clothes
and necessities that more than one baby needs.
Also, think about your marriage. How strong is it? Even the
strongest of marriages are put under an incredible amount of
strain for at least the first year. Some marriages here have
ended during the first year, for whatever reason. Some are
forever strained and others make it through. But there is
definitely a change in your marriage and relationship with
your husband. Yes, I know any child can do that, but with
multiples, there is more work, more stress and more times
that you don't have with your spouse that is needed or
desired...
Is having triplets all bad? Hell no. It's a lot of work and I
wouldn't trade it for the world. I was chosen to be a mommy to
these three beautiful children. Would I do it again if given
the choice? Yes. Would I actively seek it out? NO WAY!! I
want my children to be happy and healthy. I'm working my butt
of to make sure ALL my children are growing up happy and
well-adjusted.
Just rethink your thoughts and ideas and really read the
replies that you asked for. I'd be surprised and a little
disappointed if you get the answers YOU are looking for here.
I don't think there should be anyone here telling you how to
best improve your odds for triplets. Doctors don't or
shouldn't be helping their patients have more than one baby
at a time. If your doctor does help you with this, I would
seriously think about his ethics and morals. He's putting
your life and the life of your potential unborn children in
danger and to me, that's a quack!!!
Good luck on your pregnancy journey and I wish you a short
ride on the IF rollercoaster. I wish you a healthy prenancy
and a healthy baby.

As much as I love my three, I wouldn't wish a triplet
pregnancy on anyone. I really wish I could have had my three
as singletons, three separate pregnancies.
The risks of a HOM pregnancy to the mother and babies are
legion and to intentionally want to conceive a triplet
pregnancy is just unbelievable to me. Luckily, my pregnancy
produced a healthy outcome, but my trio are 8yo and MY body
is still suffering the consequences of the pregnancy.
I suggest you examine the real reasons you want to conceive
triplets. Like another poster said, is it for the
"triplet fame"? The whole novelty of having
triplets--the cutsie-cutsie way the media portrays having
triplets? Parenting three or more children of the same age is
extremely difficult---financially, physically and mentally.
The first year is extremely difficult and although it does
get a bit easier as they get older, you are faced with other
challenges that parents of singletons do not experience.
School issues, friends issues, sending three to college at
the same time, you are CONSTANTLY running from event to event
to event. Learning disabilities that you can't help but wonder
would have not exsisted had you not carried them closer to
term.
Sorry if my words seem harsh but the reality of a HOM
pregnancy can be harsh.

I hope this post is fake because I feel physically ill reading
it. If this person is for real then I would think she needs a
psychologist and not an RE. Seriously. As if ANY of us
actually PLANNED on having triplets. OMG! I think I'm going
to go throw up. Somebody please tell me this is FAKE!

There are just too many things about this post that bother me.
You are lurking here to figure out how to specifically have
Triplets??? You say that you found others who have done
specific things to purposely have Triplets?? Maybe what you
should be seeing is a psychologist not a RE. Your hope and
plan should be to have a healthy pregnancy and be happy and
know you are blessed with what you get, NOT want something
that you have no clue about.
Maybe I am a bit sensitive cause I just got fooled another
board with another sicko looking for whatever attention they
think they are getting.

psycholigical help (can you say mentally and emotionally
unstable?).
Perhaps Jeff to look into this person since obviously they do
not have HOM and really have no need to be a member of this
forum.
Also Wantingthree, you seem to be under the impression that
we "wanted triplets" and did whatever we could to
have them. You chould not be more wrong.
This forum is not like other forums you find on the internet.
We do not come here discussing ways to produce multiples. We
are a close-knit community and to be honest we do not take
kindly to others who try to have a high-risk pregnancy on
purpose. You say you'd make a great mother yet you are
willing to take a chance on your children (on purpuse) who
will most like be born premature and have some length of stay
in the NICU.

I agree with the others here. I think actually trying for a
triplet pregnancy is putting your own selfish desire above
the best interest of the babies and your own health. And
that is not a good start for a “great mother”. Yes those of
us here were blessed with triplets, but it was not our
intention to have triplets. Most of us were shocked when we
found out but we had to make the best of the situation handed
to us. What you are asking for here is to engineer a triplet
pregnancy with this dream in your head of an easy, or
relatively easy pregnancy where you follow all the rules and
come home with three healthy babies. But what you are really
asking for is to defy the odd over and over again. A triplet
pregnancy is anything but predictable. With a triplet (or
more) pregnancy even a mom can do everything right and
follows all of her doctors orders and still the outcome isn’t
always ideal. There is no predicting how a body will respond
to a triplet pregnancy. Even previous pregnancies aren’t
good predictors. There is no sugar coating it, a triplet
pregnancy is high risk.
As another poster pointed out I also question the motives of
someone who wants to try for triplets. It would seem for
selfish reason of the mother. If a true desire to be a
mother and raise a family was the motive then the number of
children would be immaterial. But trying for triplets sounds
more like wanting the lime light and attention or to fill some
other selfish emotional issue of the mother. Either way it is
the babies that would end up paying for it.
My advice would be yes discuss you “end goal” with your
doctor. Then at least one sane person would be involved in
the decision making process. He can also explain to you more
of the dangers you are ASKING to put your children in.

>In reading recently I see that there are others
>who have done IVF expressly trying for triplets also.
I wanted to ask...where did you ever read such a thing on
this site???? That I know of there have only been one
possible two other people who have ever openly admitted to
such a thing on this site. A small number especially
considering there are thousands of members.
And don't think that just because you didn't read about
anyone chastising them for trying for another set of triplets
ON PURPOSE that it means they had our collective stamp of
approval. All that means is that there wasn't anyone willing
to stand up to a vetran member. Members here are less likely
to stand up to other members than they are a complete
stranger/newbie. I hope you don't take the irresponsible
comments of others trying for triplets and translate that to
mean its okay.

I can't believe the responses to this question! I think she
has gotten the message by now. It is one thing to point out
the risks of a triplet pregnancy, and kindly tell her that
one wouldn't wish those risks on one's unborn children, but
to attack her--that is just mean. The girl has been TTC for
5 years. I'm sure the idea of an instant family is
appealing. Give her a break.

Okay, so who decided you were in charge of how many people can
reply to a post??? Did it ever occur to you that we are
passionate about people who would intentionally want to put
children in danger? Not to mention themselves??? Maybe she
needs the harshness of this thread to make her see that
reality is SO much different than her fantasies!!! If you
can't believe the responses, why read on? Why bother posting
to it?

No respectable RE would help you try to conceive a triplet
pregnancy. I don't think anybody really plan on or shoot for
a triplet pregnancy. While I am one of the lucky ones who
"beat the odds", delivered past 34 weeks and ended
up with 3 healthy children, I was on "pins and
needles" during the entire pregnancy. It also saddens
me remembering the 2 weeks they spent in the NICU and not
being able to spend more individual time with each one.
Granted I am thankful God gave me my trio and wouldn't have
it any other way, I never wished for triplets knowing the
risks of prematurity and long term disabilities involved.

Um did you hear the thud as my jaw just hit the floor, I can't
really eloquently write a detailed post here as others have
without working myself up. My children are the biggest
blessing of my life and I would never ever trade them for
anything, however as a good friend of mine posted triplets
affect evey aspect of your life and marriage and other
childrens's lives too. Triplets are not a novelty or a cute
idea you saw on a target ad or an advil commecial they are
human beings who are usually brought into the world after
years of tears and prayers for one healthy baby and then the
reality of a frightening pregnancy and only some of us have
been blessed with the miracle of all 3 surviving which is
another thing that breaks my heart and makes me feel ashamed
whenever I am stressed at home, at least I am lucky enough to
have 3 to stress me out............Seriously you need a
reality check, I told my RE how I was worried about multiples
and he told me with 3 little follies it would be a miracle if
I concieved one baby with a 70% chance of carrying to term
and twins would be an even bigger miracle but not likely.
sorry to not offer you support that you seak but you need to
come to grips with your desires for triplets and do some
research on the realities of carrying triplets........ many
of us did because we do not believe in selective reduction
and would rather put our own lives on the line that make such
a harrowing choice that I know would haunt me for life.

to Wanting 3 -
this is not the site to post your very selfish desire for
triplets. If you truly have been TTC for 5+ years, I would
believe that you would be happy with 1 baby. Trying to
conceive multiples is ignorant and selfish in my opinion. I
love my trio (and older daughter) to pieces, but did not
purposely set out for triplets.
So to Wanting 3, do yourself a favor, visit a NICU, visit
March of Dimes website, educate yourself and if you still
really want 3, go adopt!!!

Hi Wanting3,
Most of us on this board are thrilled with our blessings now,
but weren't so excited when we first found out it was triplets
or more. We accepted the challenge, but most were certainly
not looking for it! There are so many complications that are
VERY common in HOM pregnancies. Almost all of us on this
board were on bedrest, with threatened early deliveries.
Almost all of us had babies that were preemies. Almost all
of us had babies in the NICU, most of the time struggling to
survive. Many of us are dealing with the severe long-term
medical problems associated with premature babies (cerebral
palsy, vision & hearing problems, learning disabilities,
etc.). Many of us have lost babies before or at birth - it's
VERY common.
I never expected to go to 5 or so medical/therapy
appointments a week. I never expected to wonder if my kids
were ever be able to live a "normal" life. I am
very healthy & come from a healthy family - surely I
would have healthy kids, right? Prematurity is an ugly
thing. My kids won't be athletes. They won't be scholars.
Etc. At this point, I will be thankful if they are able to
fully function on their own as adults and be self-supporting.
And believe me, I did everything right during this pregnancy.
I was so paranoid. But doing everything right is no
guarantee of a perfect outcome.
I also didn't understand the enormous financial impact - $10
copay x 5 appts per week. $100 formula per week. $100
diapers per week. Clothing. Carseats. Etc. People give
you everything to start up, but gracious, it's expensive to
keep going! Also, we realized that putting three in daycare
was more expensive than I earn, and I was a CPA, so I made a
decent salary.
When you think of twins or triplets, it sounds like fun. But
the reality of it is very different. I love my children so
much, and given that this is the situation I was handed, I
wouldn't do anything differently. But if I had had a choice
about how many I would get pregnant with, I would never have
chosen to have multiples. I couldn't do that to my children.
Between health issues, the problems with having your own
identity, etc., it's just not a life I would choose for my
kids. I love them too much!
I know that you are probably desperate for children, as were
many of us. At the time, I thought it was the hardest thing
I would ever go through (that was pre-NICU!). I know that it
is a heartbreaking journey. But I think that your imagination
has idealized what life would be like with triplets. The
reality is very different. Good luck getting pregnant, but I
hope that you only get pregnant with one!! If you do, count
your blessings. If you end up with 3 or more, come on back
to this forum, and welcome!

sorry everyone I could not even read the replys it was just so
disturbing. Ya maybe the post sounds crazy but lets just
remember what it was like to look at the pee stick month
after month and cry to god why we had not been choosen to be
mommy's. I remember never wanting to have multiples it was
one of the reasons when our clomid was proven to not be any
help we choose to adopt. Then we went through the heart
breaking experience of some adoption agency telling us our
daughter would not be price taged as a minority because they
were going to pass her off as a caucausion baby. Ya sick
this is what we lived before we did our IUI process. I
remember when they RE called and left the message on the test
hotline that my chances without injections were 0. I sat in
my car on the side of a fricken freeway and cried out to god.
I got so upset with him I finally Yell at him and said ok
fine if multiples is what you want to give me then bring it
on PLease I just wanted a baby. Three weeks later we did IUI
and I became pg first try with our trio. The fear and panic
and stress was unbearable at first and they are today 2 years
old. But I would never go back and change that. Some people
have no idea what the experience is like I had no idea what
triplets were like before my IUI process and maybe this women
has no idea either. If she is really I read past her pain and
realized that this women is longing for a family and IVF tends
to be very expensive....I am not saying what she is asking is
right just that we need to still respect her as a women
suffering with infertility issues. She simply wanted to know
about us because maybe someday GOD will choose to make her
just as special. I think everyone needs to realize that you
can do anything in the world to get PG but GOD IS THE ONE
THAT MAKES THE ULTIMATE DECISION......
So people also have to realize we all made the decion to be
at risk for having more then one baby everyone in the world
that decides to populate it takes that risk....not only to
infertile couples have triplets.....
I am sure I will get yelled at for my post but it rubbed me
the wrong way that everyone went off....Maybe she is checking
out our site to prepare her self if it did happen it is a risk
of IVF...
Sometimes Doctors make mistakes. We did IUI and told the RE
that we did not want to have more then 2 follicles that had
good eggs because I wanted to get pg and finish my nursing
degree prior to the babies birth. I had only one semster
left of my 2 year LPN degree and I had a two year old at
home. Well we went in think ok everything is set. The nurse
did our IUI and then told us to sit back relax and she would
take the time to go over our information. Well She failed to
tell us prior to the procedure that we had five good follicles
with possible five excellent eggs and I had also done
Pergonal...As you can imagine HOLY **** I started to cry and
told DH oh my god we are having triplets oh my god we are
going to have triplets. The nurse rushed out of the room and
came in with severe apologies we had to drive 5 hours to the
clinic for the procedure and they had made the mistake. She
offered me the morning after pill and told me we would flush
the cycle. I was so upset took a deep breath and said NO,
what is done is done and I strongly believed that if god
wanted them her he had made it possible by the mistake. I
left the office crying and called a friend and she said oh
amy it will be fine you will have triplets but you will be
fine. She was so sure during our daily injections I guess
she was right...We did have triplets and they are beutiful
and lots of work but they were so ment to be....A suprize but
one I would never change. I guess God in the long run always
has the final say at least that is what he has shown US.....
We are doing IUI in March of 2008 and trusting he will know
what is best once again....

Well said!!! Why people seem so quick to attack and cry
"fake" is beyond me. I can feel her pain, even
though I did not go through IVF. I lost two babies to
miscarriage prior to the girls and I understand the longing
and pain to have a child. Thankfully, God blessed me, as he
did each of us with a great gift. That is not to say shock
and fear were not a equal part of the joy of having three.
Support is the key attribute to this website, not drama.
Lets give the benefit of the doubt and offer words of wisdom,
not angry attacks.
Good Luck to you and your family "Wanting3".

wow. i am floored. i have always found this board to be
helpful and supportive until today. while it's certainly our
prerogative to feel that trying for triplets isnt the best
idea, it is likewise hers to want them. as a nicu veteran, i
can say it is terrifying, and my pregnancy was very rough and
my delivery very dangerous. so...trying for triplets isnt the
best idea. BUT...you all really flamed this person and for
what? did it honestly make you feel better to be so cruel? if
you found that you were patting yourself on the back after
those mean posts, then you have some issuesand might should
consider seeing a psychologist.
i am so disappointed. this is a great site but i dont know
that i am intersted in posting here anymore. for heaven's
sake...i have always felt that mothers are brutally critical
of other mothers...ie to bfeed/ffeed. cry it out or
dont...etc. rarely do women give others the benefit of the
doubt and offer support. i think that is what this board and
being a decent human being is about. if nothing else...it is
christmas. does that not make anything in you desire to be
loving and compassionate? especially those of us who battled
infertility should be able to be honest while being gentle.
infertility is hell. cut a person some slack for thinking a
little differently than you. and when you hug your babies
this christmas, realize that this woman's arms are still
empty.

We followed proper guidelines for our IVF/ICSI procedure. We put back three embryos and ended up with triplets. It was a calculated risk, but I'm glad we took it. The pregnancy was extremely difficult, as was the delivery & post-partum period, and it's certainly no cake walk to be a mother to three newborns (or toddlers, or preschoolers). However, I wouldn't trade my life for anyone else's.
We were not trying for triplets, but I did pray with all my heart that all three embryos would stick. I wanted three babies with all of my being, as I knew that would be our one & only chance to ever get pregnant or have a baby. I was thrilled & ecstatic and filled with elation when we found out triplets were on the way. It was the happiest day of my life. I cried & laughed with overwhelming joy from the news for hours & hours. I had always wanted three children, and as my 40th birthday came & went I was certain that would never happen. To find out that God had finally blessed me with my hearts desire was beyond words.
I am saddened but not surprised to see the vehemence and strong language used by most of the respondants to this thread. While I understand the motivation to counsel someone based on real-life experience, it is still unpleasant to read. I would NEVER encourage someone to "try" for triplets, and honestly I have to question the motivation of someone trying for triplets because of a "fascination" about triplets. However, having gone through over 4 years of infertility, I certainly understand the heart breaking desire to do whatever it takes to finally have a baby. I'm going to assume that, if the person posting this original question is genuine and not a troll (please forgive me if you're genuine*), then it's just a matter of being over-exhuberent in word choices that makes the triplet lust seem so odd.
* We have a lot of trolls & fakers who come our way, so please forgive my skepticism.

there are many of us who have tried for years and years to get pregnant with the dream of having A healthy baby. I believe that the negative feedback is because this woman indicated that she wants triplets - not a baby, but triplets. Tulip worded it perfectly with "fascination with triplets". I think that people just dont quite understand that, yes 2, 3, 4 infants together look all cute, but they are babies who have needs, who cry, who require work, love, attention. I personally had years of TTC and would have (AND AM) so happy with whatever God blessed me with.

Personally, I think it was a troll, pure and simple, but
there's always a small chance such posts are real so I gave
some straight and narrow answers/opinions to the questions
because of my strong interest in infertility and overcoming
it.
To me, this was the giveaway:
>>> We have have male factor infertility so I think
my chances
are high. <<<

Male problem infertility can be --and in fact generally is--
just as much an obstacle to pregnancy as female problem
infertility. It's true that in IVF the ICSI procedure
(direct injection) does bypass some sperm issues, like
motility (should be called "mobility"), but...
There's nothing *in general* about male problem infertility
that will increase anyone's chances for pregnancy. The
original poster was entirely general about it, and thus the
non-sequitur.
This may seem like an obvious point but infertility problems,
whether male or female, only make pregnancy more difficult,
not less.

actually, it IS true that her chances are higher. her uterus
is fertile for implantation. male factor infertility usually
involves problems with swimming to and boring into an egg,
which is bypassed with ICSI.
once embryos which survive for transfer are created, the
fertility issues are completely bypassed.
unless, of course, there are genetic issues.

I did mention ICSI and how it can bypass some, not all, male
fertility issues, but the original poster did NOT mention
ICSI or any other information on why she thinks that having
male infertility will increase her chances for triplets.
YOU supplied the information that could make her statement
sensible. She said nothing about ICSI. She said nothing about
having an especially fertile uterus. She said nothing about
her husband having sperm motility or acrosome penetration
issues. What she said was "We have male factor
infertility so I think my chances are high". She didn't
even say that her doctor thinks her chances are high. So
maybe her chances ARE high, but it wouldn't be because her
husband is infertile. It just doesn't follow logically and
is therefore a non-sequitur as i said. That, together with
all the other carelessness in her post, leads me to think she
was simply trolling for emotional reaction, and it worked!
But maybe she is real, who knows? I replied because the
issues interest me, and in case she was real I offered a bit
of gentle counsel against trying for triplets.
Really none of us should've replied because she explicitly
asked...
>>> I see that there are others
who have done IVF expressly trying for triplets also. I was
hoping I could get a few questions answered from you.
<<<
... to hear from 'others who've done IVF expressly trying for
triplets' which by reading all the replies, none of us did.
So on that count we are all guilty of jumping in where we
weren't invited. But I doubt any damage was done because I
doubt the inquiry was genuine in the first place. But i
could be wrong of course... in which case i apologize to
*Wanting3* for my unsolicited advice.

Actually, ICSI does bypass all male fertility issues. That
being said, this does not mean it will produce a pregnancy.
The odds are lower but not impossible if there is a
morphology (abnormal sperm) problem. What issues do you think
ICSI doesn't bypass? Just wondering. Because even if a man has
absolutely zero sperm in his semen, then surgical or
nonsurgical aspiration (TESA or MESA) can be done to retrieve
sperm and is then done in combination with ICSI to fertilize
the eggs.
The reason the success rates are higher when IVF is done when
only male factor issues are present is because the chances of
egg-related issues, uterine issues, or any fertility issues
with the woman are much less likely.
Now, as far as genetics go it is possible that fertility
issues can be passed on to a son, esp. with men who have
severe male factor or a zero sperm count. A lot of men have
sperm issues due to health issues or injury, so the
percentage of genetic causes is fairly low.

If she had truly been lurking here for a while and her post
was written with sincerity, she would have known to keep her
thoughts to herself about "expressly trying for"
multiples.
Clearly this poster got the reaction desired! I would save
your words for something more deserving.

I must chime in too:
This has got to be a joke, right?
I have only come into contact with one other mother who
wanted triplets, actually quadruplets to be exact. I thought
she was absolutely nuts, and it turned out that she was!
Do you have any idea how much risk is involved with a HOM
pregnancy?
Please be wise in the decisions you make.
Maybe be thankful if you come out from the trenches of
infertility with one baby born alive and well.

As I sat in my DD's hospital room last night, I pondered this.
She too TTC for 5 years and those of us who loved her went
through anguish for her as month by month went by without a
hope of a child to hold. In August she had 2 perfect
potential people implanted and as the Lord wove those little
beings, we found out in October that one had split and now
there are three. Out of all my children, she was the one
that the Lord knew would handle infertility by watching her
siblings and peers begin their families with a sweet spirit
and out of all of my children, He also knew that she would be
best equipped to handle the challenges of triplets BUT, I
would never have 'wished' this on her. I wanted her to have
a pregnancy filled with all the excitement and preparations
that others have had. Instead there is the realization that
she is very at risk. It won't be as easy to share in the joy
of these grandchildren's birth in a 'physical' way because
they will at first be fragile. Rather than walk through the
mall looking at baby things with her, I got to push her for
1/2 hour in her wheel chair. A precious time, but not what I
had hoped to share with her! These 3 little boys will be
treasured and are longed for, but I am also very aware of the
challenges we may face in the weeks ahead. She is only 20
weeks and although each day is another day that they are safe
within her, she will hopefully carry them at least 14 more
weeks - weeks perhaps filled with more anxiety and fatigue as
the rest of us try to balance our jobs, Holiday activities at
church and work, family time, and time with this treasured
daughter who is usually alone in her hospital room 45 minutes
away.

Hi all...anyone else a member of MOST? I feel like I am cheating on TC LOL! I just joined after 4 years, BUT I am not happy thus far...I still have not been "granted permission" to open the forum topics....which I personally think is ridiculous. anyway, just wondering what you all thought of MOST if you are members, since I cannot seem to access it.
Thanks

I joined MOST when I joined here (eons ago!).
Most of the people on MOST seem to be Quads and more.
It's really a great resource for those really unique births (not like triplets, twins, or singletons aren't unique), but it's a great place for a woman to say, I just found out I am having sextuplets who can help me!
I think most triplet moms are over here.

I have been a member of MOST for quite a while. They are a great resource for all multiple families. I have personally met with the founder and she is the sweetest triplet mom you will ever meet.
They are really working to vamp up the message boards and are very careful of who they give access. That way you don't have to worry about fakers as much.
I enjoy posting on both forums but there I topics I will only speak about at MOST due to the privacy of locked forums.

Deborah,
I am a board member of MOST, and MOST is not just for quads and more, although there is a great group for quads, quints and sextuplets, which has been very successful. I'm sorry you've had trouble accessing the forums on our site, and would suggest you contact the MOST office, or click on the link to contact the forum coordinator at the top of the forum page, for assistance.
I have been a member of TC since I was pregnant, and of MOST since my boys were two, and I find them both to be great organizations serving multiple birth families. And while I am a bit partial to MOST, I try to be supportive of both organizations because I think it is important to offer as many resources as possible to HOM families.

I just want to echo what Heather and Diane have said.
MOST has made the decision to keep the forums (except for "Pregnancy/Infancy") for members only. As I understand, it was a decision that was not taken lightly. What you won't find there is fakers and a lot of the drama that is pretty common here at TC. TC made the decision to keep the forums open in an effort to reach as many multiple birth families as possible.
I have met both founders and find each to be caring, compassionate and really just interested in helping ALL multiple birth families to find some kind of normalcy and to feel not so alone.
Both organizations are MORE than message boards. Each produces a wonderful magazine that showcases beautiful family photos and articles of substance related to raising our children. Each magazine has it's strengths and weaknesses but I think together, they cover just about all the bases.
I think that the "gem" in each organization is being able to get information on just about any pregnancy, health, or child development related topic with just a phone call or email. Friends with singletons have to wade through a lot of junk to get to the best information. It's there for us so easily. And to be able to find someone else who knows EXACTLY what you are experiencing, whether it it's about night time sleeping, potty training, autism spectrum.....anything.
When I was pg, I was very careful about how I spent my money, not knowing how much it was really going to cost to raise my children. It really was silly, as we were/are doing fine financially, but the incertainty of the unknown made me think twice about subscribing to a magazine. I just didn't want to spend money on something that didn't give me value. Now, 5 years later, I am a member of both organizations. And even though I feel that I need them less, I will continue to support both as I think it's important that each is around for others who suddenly find themselves saying "how many?", in disbelief.

I too am a member of both. Both groups are mostly triplet families.
The office has been having computer problems lately. However, if your troubles have been going on longer, you may need to recontact them.
Both TC and MOST have some very supportive members, and good info.

I am sorry that you are having trouble getting onto the forum. One thing about having to be granted permission to enter the forums is that fakers are not a problem- and privacy is protected. I really value those aspects.
By the way, I am the area coordinator for Japan for MOST. I feel lucky to be a part of such a wonderful group.

I completely understand what you are saying. When I am so so so careful about the info I put about myself out there it REALLY pisses me off when the site owners are so careless with my info.
Oh BTW it must have been so cool to be on the beach taking pictures during tropical storm Alberto. You look cute in that bunny shirt. I have always wanted to visit (to personal to post). That was so really cool drift wood pic from 2006. You could have that framed. I really wish I was a better writer also. I LOVE mysteries. Have you published anything I would have read?
You have adorable kids! Love all the signs telling the hurricanes to go away. I can’t imagine living through that with kids. So cute for them to make predictions for the next hurricane season. Probably gave them a sense of control over the uncontrollable. Looks like you all have some great fun and great triplet friends. Hope you had a great time in Gettysburg.
I was as upset as anyone about the people who abused TC to get peoples email addresses. But don’t come bash them about internet security when you obviously don’t take it seriously. BTW I didn’t post a fraction of what I found out about you with very very little effort. I didn't post anything too personal. And some of which I got I got from MOSTS profile section similar to what they had here at TC. And I'm not a member of that site. Man after 10 mins I feel like I know you. I could call you if you would like.

Ok, I just have to throw in some loose change I have in my pocket....
Did you actually read your post? Seriously K8Tina, try a GOOGLE search of your TC user name and you will find pages (plural) of your online posts using the user name 'K8Tina'.
You, yourself, personally, intentionally include links to your 'babiesonline.com' account, plus a gazillion YOU TUBE videos and TON of other personal info, including pictures of yourself & your family.
Something tells me that the LAST place you want to be, is out of the CELEBRITY Lime-Light!!!
Your coming to TC, over dramatizing 1 spam email "YOU" received.....is just totally laughable!!! Laughable after a quick search like a PP suggesTDed and we feel like your BFF's!!!!!
Buh-Bye! Please, send my regards to the PAPARAZZI!!!!!!!!!

I remember you since our kids are the same age. Can I just say WHATEVER???? What was really the point of this post? And why are you on here if you don't like it here other than to stir up drama? MOST will never reach the number of pregnant MOMs that access this site because their whole Fort Knox security is stupid for a newly pregnant mom to deal with. I never joined it because of that, yet I was on here reading this website through my entire pregnancy. My HOM "family" is right here and I'm happy with it, even with the trolls and fakers and the drama and the meanies and the goodies, so BUH BYE!!!!! I'd say I missed you, but I'm keeping it REAL!

TC made the decision to keep the forums open in an effort to reach as many multiple birth families as possible.
I have met both founders and find each to be caring, compassionate and really just interested in helping ALL multiple birth families to find some kind of normalcy and to feel not so alone.
Both organizations are MORE than message boards. Each produces a wonderful magazine that showcases beautiful family photos and articles of substance related to raising our children. Each magazine has it's strengths and weaknesses but I think together, they cover just about all the bases.
I think that the "gem" in each organization is being able to get information on just about any pregnancy, health, or child development related topic with just a phone call or email. Friends with singletons have to wade through a lot of junk to get to the best information. It's there for us so easily. And to be able to find someone else who knows EXACTLY what you are experiencing, whether it it's about night time sleeping, potty training, autism spectrum.....anything.
When I was pg, I was very careful about how I spent my money, not knowing how much it was really going to cost to raise my children. It really was silly, as we were/are doing fine financially, but the incertainty of the unknown made me think twice about subscribing to a magazine. I just didn't want to spend money on something that didn't give me value. Now, 5 years later, I am a member of both organizations. And even though I feel that I need them less, I will continue to support both as I think it's important that each is around for others who suddenly find themselves saying "how many?", in disbelief.

Deborah,
I too am a member of both. Both groups are mostly triplet families.
The office has been having computer problems lately. However, if your troubles have been going on longer, you may need to recontact them.
Both TC and MOST have some very supportive members, and good info.

I too belong to MOST, am a moderator on their larger than most forum, and wouldn't have it any other way. I love MOST and it's privacy - I love TC too they are just different types of forums.
I'm sorry your having trouble - I'm sure it will be resolved very soon. Welcome aboard.

I am sorry that you are having trouble getting onto the forum. One thing about having to be granted permission to enter the forums is that fakers are not a problem- and privacy is protected. I really value those aspects.
By the way, I am the area coordinator for Japan for MOST. I feel lucky to be a part of such a wonderful group.

I did too. It seems you have to pay a fee in order to access some of the boards. Maybe we’ll pay it later on. It sounds like a good site.

Wow! Inever expected responses like this. Everyone deserves their own Opinions.
I do Like Most ...Alot....yes there is a fee, just like TC to access the forums. there are some public forums, but the ones you really wanttot be a part of you need to pay the membership. I must say....for my $$ these are 2 very important purchases for me. I will continue to use Both TC and Most

I completely understand what you are saying. When I am so so so careful about the info I put about myself out there it REALLY pisses me off when the site owners are so careless with my info.
Oh BTW it must have been so cool to be on the beach taking pictures during tropical storm Alberto. You look cute in that bunny shirt. I have always wanted to visit (to personal to post). That was so really cool drift wood pic from 2006. You could have that framed. I really wish I was a better writer also. I LOVE mysteries. Have you published anything I would have read?
You have adorable kids! Love all the signs telling the hurricanes to go away. I can’t imagine living through that with kids. So cute for them to make predictions for the next hurricane season. Probably gave them a sense of control over the uncontrollable. Looks like you all have some great fun and great triplet friends. Hope you had a great time in Gettysburg.
I was as upset as anyone about the people who abused TC to get peoples email addresses. But don’t come bash them about internet security when you obviously don’t take it seriously. BTW I didn’t post a fraction of what I found out about you with very very little effort. I didn't post anything too personal. And some of which I got I got from MOSTS profile section similar to what they had here at TC. And I'm not a member of that site. Man after 10 mins I feel like I know you. I could call you if you would like.

Ok, I just have to throw in some loose change I have in my pocket....
Did you actually read your post? Seriously K8Tina, try a GOOGLE search of your TC user name and you will find pages (plural) of your online posts using the user name 'K8Tina'.
You, yourself, personally, intentionally include links to your 'babiesonline.com' account, plus a gazillion YOU TUBE videos and TON of other personal info, including pictures of yourself & your family.
Something tells me that the LAST place you want to be, is out of the CELEBRITY Lime-Light!!!
Your coming to TC, over dramatizing 1 spam email "YOU" received.....is just totally laughable!!! Laughable after a quick search like a PP suggesTDed and we feel like your BFF's!!!!!
Buh-Bye! Please, send my regards to the PAPARAZZI!!!!!!!!!

I lurked here when I was pregnant. I firmly believe that the knowledge of the people who were posting in this site back then made a huge difference in the outcome of my pregnancy. For that I am grateful. MOST sounds like a great organization too. We might subscribe later on.

I remember you since our kids are the same age. Can I just say WHATEVER???? What was really the point of this post? And why are you on here if you don't like it here other than to stir up drama? MOST will never reach the number of pregnant MOMs that access this site because their whole Fort Knox security is stupid for a newly pregnant mom to deal with. I never joined it because of that, yet I was on here reading this website through my entire pregnancy. My HOM "family" is right here and I'm happy with it, even with the trolls and fakers and the drama and the meanies and the goodies, so BUH BYE!!!!! I'd say I missed you, but I'm keeping it REAL!

I have had two friends email me today asking about a new multiples forum that sent them an email but it was addressed to their TC User name. One hasn't been here in a long time but knew I am here on and off so she asked me if I knew if it was legit. Her name could only have come from here at TC and was addressed to her User name. Anyway it was addressed from Kerry and Jenell Mann. Anyone know if this is legit? Are we having someone trying faction off yet another board and using the TC user list as a contact list to spam? Others getting this email? I would include the email but don't want to give free advertising to someone else on TC.

Yeah, it's legit. They're members here at TC too and have triplet girls that are a few months old (I think.) Kerry works with computers or something and he started the multiples network thing. I guess they're trying to recruit and are using TC.

How are you receiving these? You can send other users email from your inbox. Their email addresses shouldn't show up. Now, if you email them back from the email address you received it at, then they will have your email, make sense???

It's a direct email from their address to mine. I actually got it twice, once this morning and once this afternoon.
I also don't see the need to join another forum. This one is great.
I remember her writing a post a few months ago about their new forum.

I don't understand the need to yet another forum. I actually thought it was another faker looking for info on members when I read the emails. Which is why I started this thread.
Triplethefun04 I hadn't received it just sent email from other users about it asking if I had received it also. So it could be alphabetical.
Laurene I am with you. I don’t want to be included in the list. I don’t see the need for yet another list. My kids are school aged so what does someone with newborn triplets has to offer that I can’t get at one of the numerous currently established sites.
It does concern me though that a member is doing this. It #2 on the user agreement:

note to solicitors..
KEEP ME OFF YOUR LIST, not the reason I come to TC and I don't want any more crap in my inbox, it slows down my blackberry.
on a side note, I thought Jenell had been outed as using someone elses pics?
If that is not accurate ONE response will do, I don't need a jillion people telling me she is legit...or that I'm being mean, just one as I'm out of the loop
edited to add loop so you don't think I was out of the loo as my original post stated! So I had to add a p to get in the loop and out of the loo, for some reason on this Friday morning that makes me laugh!

I am/was an inactive member on their "network" - so I went in and posted & e-mailed to Kerry & Jennell. Funny how they deleted my posts within minutes but won't show their face over here...

I too received this message, and although I'm happy for those of you who have triplets that are safe and healthy, I was not so fortunate - and my triplets are in heaven. Not all triplet pregancies have a happy ending. Jenell, if you are reading, please be sensitive to this in the future and avoid mass mailings when you don't understand how much pain a simple message can cause someone you don't even know.
My username for this forum is my real name, and I don't use it anywhere else - so I know you or your web geek husband somehow got my username & email address from TC.
I come to TC for support from others who understand the excrutiating pain of losing 1 or all of their beloved triplets. This site has helped me tremendously, and it's inappropriate to exploit its loyal membership to further your own endeavors.
I respectfully DEMAND that you REMOVE me from your list!

I got this as well so obviously they have made it to the j's! Has anyone actually reported this to Jeff and Janet other than just in this post?
I agree it is pretty crappy to be using this board and it's members this way. I had no idea there were other concerns and I agree that there is NO WAY in heck I would have had time with infant triplets to put together and e-mail so many people. How insane.

If you have your email in a profile....take it off if you don't want to be spammed....
and instead of bothering Jeff and Janet..contact the Manns and tell them to stop!I just popped over to their web page and no one has left them a message saying that they don't want to be included on their list or that people here are offened that this is the way they are being contacted.

You have to register to leave a message on their website. I didn't want to go over to their blog to leave a message about because I assumed it had ads like their message board. This gives them ad revenue for the number of hits the site receives. So I didn't want to give them the satisfaction of checking out their sites anymore than that one click that I regretted when I saw the ads. Call me cynical but I believe that is what this whole mass emailing is all about. Earning them advertising money from their new sites from everyone that clicks over to check it out. So if someone really wants to check it out leave a nasty note from me while you are there and kill two birds with one stone because I won't add anymore hits to their sites.
You know other people have started other sites to help multiples parents since I have been here. But they had a different function than TC (like the same age groups) but they never needed to recruit in this manner. It was an idea that others wanted as well and word of mouth was sufficient. AND it never intended to to take away from TC like this seems. Most I know are in a yahoo group (like myself) and on TC. If I wanted to be in a message group with a bunch of twin moms as well as triplet moms I could go to Ivillage/Babycenter/twinmag I could go on and on and on.

First lucky for me I don't use the e-mail account I originally signed up here with.
Second I think it is one thing if we get spam from people who some how got our e-mail address from here. But an entirely different thing that a memeber of TC is using to spam members here.
Is Jennell being allowed to continue being a member here? I think this is something that the mods need to address with their members as it seems most everyone who has replied does not want to be bothered by this other member.
And more then one e-mail being sent I think should be looked at for possible harassment.

Andrea I am so sorry for you losses. Your post made me realize that this mass emailing is more than just annoying for some of the registered members of TC. Many who may not visiting TC anymore and be blindsided by this solicitation. I am very sorry.
I emailed Jeff asking they removed their user name for violation of the user agreement. Also to ask them to cease using the TC user list. My concern in the user of the TC list and C user names makes it appear approved and sanctioned by TC to some.
I also send an email to Kerry and Jennell telling them people were upset and I took the above actions. If they want to start their own multiples network then best of luck to them. But they don't need to steal the TC user list and spam us all. It is blatant violation of the user agreement and abuse of their membership.

Well I tried to email them but it bounced back. the address I was given as the sender of this email was jlustoff@yahoo.com Is there a typo in there? I haven't gotten this email myself yet.
I broke down and went to their site to see if I could find an email but couldn't. But I did see an entry that I was in total agreement with in the triplet community at the bottom of the page. If they are willing to misuse their membership and our info from TC then what are they willing to do with peoples info when they sign up on their site? Those of you thinking about signing up on their site think about that.

I have had two friends email me today asking about a new multiples forum that sent them an email but it was addressed to their TC User name. One hasn't been here in a long time but knew I am here on and off so she asked me if I knew if it was legit. Her name could only have come from here at TC and was addressed to her User name. Anyway it was addressed from Kerry and Jenell Mann. Anyone know if this is legit? Are we having someone trying faction off yet another board and using the TC user list as a contact list to spam? Others getting this email? I would include the email but don't want to give free advertising to someone else on TC.

Yeah, it's legit. They're members here at TC too and have triplet girls that are a few months old (I think.) Kerry works with computers or something and he started the multiples network thing. I guess they're trying to recruit and are using TC.

How are you receiving these? You can send other users email from your inbox. Their email addresses shouldn't show up. Now, if you email them back from the email address you received it at, then they will have your email, make sense???

It's a direct email from their address to mine. I actually got it twice, once this morning and once this afternoon.
I also don't see the need to join another forum. This one is great.
I remember her writing a post a few months ago about their new forum.

I don't understand the need to yet another forum. I actually thought it was another faker looking for info on members when I read the emails. Which is why I started this thread.
Triplethefun04 I hadn't received it just sent email from other users about it asking if I had received it also. So it could be alphabetical.
Laurene I am with you. I don’t want to be included in the list. I don’t see the need for yet another list. My kids are school aged so what does someone with newborn triplets has to offer that I can’t get at one of the numerous currently established sites.
It does concern me though that a member is doing this. It #2 on the user agreement:

I got one as well and obviously I would be at the top of the list. It came through my AOL account and I had never had contact with them before.

I got it twice, within minutes of each other. They e-mailed me through my website over the summer as well. I'm just not interested, so I haven't persued it or acknowledged it in anyway.....

I also got it twice and I do not want to be solicited from this site! Thank you for posting this as it does come off as spam/faker and it made me uncomfortable.

note to solicitors..
KEEP ME OFF YOUR LIST, not the reason I come to TC and I don't want any more crap in my inbox, it slows down my blackberry.
on a side note, I thought Jenell had been outed as using someone elses pics?
If that is not accurate ONE response will do, I don't need a jillion people telling me she is legit...or that I'm being mean, just one as I'm out of the loop
edited to add loop so you don't think I was out of the loo as my original post stated! So I had to add a p to get in the loop and out of the loo, for some reason on this Friday morning that makes me laugh!

Hahahahahahahaha!
Even if she is real - I can't believe that anyone with newborn trips has time to mass email and/or start up another triplet site. I was lucky to get a shower a day, let alone check email or function past babies...oh and remember to eat!

If that was your intent, hooray for you, find something better to do with your time. idiot.

I am/was an inactive member on their "network" - so I went in and posted & e-mailed to Kerry & Jennell. Funny how they deleted my posts within minutes but won't show their face over here...

I too received this message, and although I'm happy for those of you who have triplets that are safe and healthy, I was not so fortunate - and my triplets are in heaven. Not all triplet pregancies have a happy ending. Jenell, if you are reading, please be sensitive to this in the future and avoid mass mailings when you don't understand how much pain a simple message can cause someone you don't even know.
My username for this forum is my real name, and I don't use it anywhere else - so I know you or your web geek husband somehow got my username & email address from TC.
I come to TC for support from others who understand the excrutiating pain of losing 1 or all of their beloved triplets. This site has helped me tremendously, and it's inappropriate to exploit its loyal membership to further your own endeavors.
I respectfully DEMAND that you REMOVE me from your list!

I got this as well so obviously they have made it to the j's! Has anyone actually reported this to Jeff and Janet other than just in this post?
I agree it is pretty crappy to be using this board and it's members this way. I had no idea there were other concerns and I agree that there is NO WAY in heck I would have had time with infant triplets to put together and e-mail so many people. How insane.

If you have your email in a profile....take it off if you don't want to be spammed....
and instead of bothering Jeff and Janet..contact the Manns and tell them to stop!I just popped over to their web page and no one has left them a message saying that they don't want to be included on their list or that people here are offened that this is the way they are being contacted.

You have to register to leave a message on their website. I didn't want to go over to their blog to leave a message about because I assumed it had ads like their message board. This gives them ad revenue for the number of hits the site receives. So I didn't want to give them the satisfaction of checking out their sites anymore than that one click that I regretted when I saw the ads. Call me cynical but I believe that is what this whole mass emailing is all about. Earning them advertising money from their new sites from everyone that clicks over to check it out. So if someone really wants to check it out leave a nasty note from me while you are there and kill two birds with one stone because I won't add anymore hits to their sites.
You know other people have started other sites to help multiples parents since I have been here. But they had a different function than TC (like the same age groups) but they never needed to recruit in this manner. It was an idea that others wanted as well and word of mouth was sufficient. AND it never intended to to take away from TC like this seems. Most I know are in a yahoo group (like myself) and on TC. If I wanted to be in a message group with a bunch of twin moms as well as triplet moms I could go to Ivillage/Babycenter/twinmag I could go on and on and on.

First lucky for me I don't use the e-mail account I originally signed up here with.
Second I think it is one thing if we get spam from people who some how got our e-mail address from here. But an entirely different thing that a memeber of TC is using to spam members here.
Is Jennell being allowed to continue being a member here? I think this is something that the mods need to address with their members as it seems most everyone who has replied does not want to be bothered by this other member.
And more then one e-mail being sent I think should be looked at for possible harassment.

Andrea I am so sorry for you losses. Your post made me realize that this mass emailing is more than just annoying for some of the registered members of TC. Many who may not visiting TC anymore and be blindsided by this solicitation. I am very sorry.
I emailed Jeff asking they removed their user name for violation of the user agreement. Also to ask them to cease using the TC user list. My concern in the user of the TC list and C user names makes it appear approved and sanctioned by TC to some.
I also send an email to Kerry and Jennell telling them people were upset and I took the above actions. If they want to start their own multiples network then best of luck to them. But they don't need to steal the TC user list and spam us all. It is blatant violation of the user agreement and abuse of their membership.

Well I tried to email them but it bounced back. the address I was given as the sender of this email was jlustoff@yahoo.com Is there a typo in there? I haven't gotten this email myself yet.
I broke down and went to their site to see if I could find an email but couldn't. But I did see an entry that I was in total agreement with in the triplet community at the bottom of the page. If they are willing to misuse their membership and our info from TC then what are they willing to do with peoples info when they sign up on their site? Those of you thinking about signing up on their site think about that.

Add me to the annoyed list. They are up to the C's at least. They need to have their membership CUT OFF! This is ridiculous.

I got the same e-mail today. I found to be very annoying. I kept thinking great for you. Leave me alone. I don't have time for 2 triplet forums. Plus, I have special needs kiddos and really doubt that your going to give all that money to the Ronald McDonald house.
