A WOMAN who turned to IVF was stunned to discover she was expecting triplets — two of them conceived naturally.
Betty Bienias, 36, and husband Pawel ignored a no-sex rule in the days before egg collection.
It resulted in her getting pregnant with one child through IVF and conceiving the twins naturally.
Betty, who had been trying for a baby for seven years, said: “You’re not allowed to have sex four days before the egg collection but I don’t think we listened.”
She says their nurse told them it was the first time in her career she had witnessed such a feat.
Betty had a caesarean at the Royal United Hospital in Bath on December 13 at 34 weeks pregnant.
Mathylda and Borys — conceived naturally — and Amelia, via IVF, are now home.
Their weight loss consultant mum, of Corsham, Wilts, has polycystic ovary syndrome and feared her condition would prevent her becoming a mother. She shed five stone last year after being advised it would boost her fertility.

Having twins and triplets is a higher risk.
