When Beata Bienias and her husband Powell tried and failed to conceive for eight years, they began to lose hope. Beata was diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome, which made getting pregnant more challenging. To improve their chances, Beata also worked hard to lose 70 pounds. But even after all the efforts, nothing seemed to work.
Feeling disheartened, the couple turned to IVF as their last resort. The doctors advised them to abstain from intercourse during the treatment, but Beata and Powell decided to make an exception on her birthday.
To their immense joy, the IVF treatment was successful, and Beata found out that she was finally pregnant! Years of struggle, sacrifices, and hardships had finally paid off, and she felt like she was on cloud nine.
But little did Beata know that there was an even bigger surprise awaiting her during her sonogram appointment…
As Beata and her partner anxiously went for their first prenatal scan, they couldn’t help but feel a mix of excitement and nervousness. The ultrasound technician carefully examined the scan, and then came the unexpected twist. With a serious expression, the technician turned to Beata’s husband and gently suggested that he take a seat.
It turned out that what the technician was about to reveal would change their lives forever. Beata was not just pregnant with one baby, but with three! Triplets!
“We both were in shock…just wondering who put [three babies] there,” Beata exclaimed. She immediately called her mother and burst into tears, saying, “There’s three inside me.”
But the surprises didn’t end there. Upon closer examination, they discovered that only one of the embryos had been implanted, meaning the twins had been conceived naturally. The irony wasn’t lost on Beata. After trying for so long and going through IVF, they conceived naturally.
Although rare, this phenomenon has been known to happen, where a woman can conceive naturally while undergoing IVF treatment and have an implanted embryo take as well.
Beata gave birth to three healthy babies, Amelia, Matylda, and Borys, at 34 weeks pregnant. Miraculously, all three babies were able to leave the hospital after just one week.
“It can be difficult and hard, but it’s more than 100 percent worth it,” Beata shares. “I may be tired, but when I look into these little faces, it melts my heart.”
