Clomid question...

[pinkmommy]

I posted this before the posts were earsed, trying again...

Just wondering if someone is already Oing on their own and goes on clomid to make their O stronger, doe sthat UP the chances for twins? Just a thought...

I am going on Clomid and someone asked me why and they mentioned I ahve a higher chance for twins? Never heard this now it is getting me wondering and slightly excited.

Clomid can increase the chance of twins, even in those who don't ovulate. Are you being prescribed Clomid from a Doctor? I would be careful unless you've been to a GP honey. Multiple pregnancies can bring on complications of their own, even when they aren't chemically induced. Also, clomid increases the risk of m/c - so it's only used when absolutely necessary

YES I will be prescribed this by a DR, I have my testing this month. 3/18 u/s, 3/19 testing & 3/20 consulation, it is going to be one busy week.

The only set back might be I have a cyst and if it is still there I will not be able to start!

I just wnat this TTC stuff to be over with it is so stressful.

Hello

I have just been prescribed clomid. Me and DH have been ttc for over 3 years, although we only recently decided to seek help.

He's had his little swimmers tested, and all is okay. I've had the yucky bits done, and been told I'm all okay. I have a regular cycle, and ovulate every time, but still nothing for us.

The consultant has given us the options of waiting for the NHS IVF/ICSI/IUI route, which has an 18 month wait time, or going private which will take about 6 weeks. She said not to rush the decision, as private is costly, and recommended that we try clomid for 3 months with the chance to extend by another 3 months. I am only on the 50mg dosage as she said that it was just giving my ovaries a bit of a boost to make sure I have a good strong ovulation - or something like that. She told me that there is a 1 in 10 chance of twins, but that still means 9 in 10 chance of a singleton.

We're giving clomid a try for 3 months while we decide whether to go private or not. £4000+ would go a LONG way to decorating a nursery and getting everything we would need for a new arrival.

Don't know if any of that helps. Let us know how you get on.

yes, clomid can increase chances of multiple births. Not identicals I don't think though? When I saw consultant who has put me on clomid he mrentioned that this is possible!
