Triplets can be formed two different ways.

1. The mother produces three eggs, at or near the same time during her cycle, and all of them are fertilized. This would produce three fraternal triplets.

2. The mother produces one egg, which is then fertilized, and the egg splits into three separate embryos. This would produce three identical triplets.
