Has anyone took Clomid and fallen pregnant with twins/triplets?

[BellaDonna818]

San Fran Shan - Yep. Same thing basically.

 

[mrswemyss]

Thanks ladies! That is refreshing to know. My cycle is 33-35 days so not really that long... but I was like well if I ovulate normal will clomid even help?
So good to know, and praying my first 50 mg round works for us!!
Also on a side note I have began reading fifty shades of grey... and I am gonna use preseed lol. SOOOO!! may it all combined work!

 

[san fran shan]

I used preseed. Not for the IUI but for the BD-ing leading up to O and the night after the IUI. Can't hurt. But you definitely don't need to fill the whole applicator! I did the 1st time like the instructions said and it was WAY too much lube and made a mess!

I bought that book yday, after loads people saying it was very good

Also I agree with the preseed to much and it's just Way to slippy !!

So today is day11 and according to my cbfm I'm in second level ( high fertility) I think its soon, but that's exciting!
My last clomid was Tue.... Is there a certain amount of time its suppose to work?
I was expecting to ovulate the 15th?!
Get Bloodwork the 18th...

 

[san fran shan]

Oh, that's way to hard to say since everyone is different. I had an ultrasound to see how ripe my eggs were and how many were ready. I think my IUI was on cycle day 16 (36 hours after the HCG trigger shot). Just have sex every other day and hopefully you will catch it.

mrswemyss - I didn't notice if anyone else pointed this out or not, but Clomid can also shorten your cycle length. I am normally on a 35 day cycle, but when I've taken Clomid, it puts me on a 28 day cycle every time. So this will obviously affect when you're ovulating. Personally, I had my mid cycle scans on day 12, and was inseminated on day 14 pretty much every time.

Yah my cycles were def shorter with Clomid (35 days instead of 45-60), but still not SHORT. I wasn't ovulating until CD21/CD22 even with the Clomid.

 

[san fran shan]

My cycle before I used clomid was only 22 days. We did an early ultrasound in case I was going to ovulate super early. I just counted and my IUI was on CD 14 not 16 like I stated before.

 

[mrswemyss]

Thanks ladies! Pray real hard please
Well, this was my first round... My cycles typically are 33 days, so I have not (& hopefully will not) had a cycle yet...
I was just shocked that my monitor was showing high readings already. A little excited at the thought of ovulating a week earlier than I had planned.
I am trying to bd every other day although lately ( thanks to reading my. Grey) every day i am ready!!!

I took 50 mg of clomid on day 5-9. Our first month of clomid and we fell pregnant with triplets. It is still a complete shock!

Why were you taking clomid? How long have you been trying?
I just wonder, because I ovulate according to my monitor, but have tried ten mos.
But I am waiting for my first ovulation after using clomid. It should be next week

We were officially trying for about 9 months. I was getting 2 positive opks about 5 days apart and late in my cycle. My dr prescribed clomid to boost ovulation because she felt that my body was trying to ovulate and was failing and by the time I ovulated it was too late in my cycle. I have to go to a specialist now because trips is high risk. He says that my dr should have waited a few more months before prescribing the clomid. It's too late now but if I would have known I wouldnt have taken it. I am finally starting to realize that this happening and we are getting excited! Good luck and I would say only use the clomid if you aren't ovulating.

 

[mrswemyss]

well as far as I know, I was ovulating every month... but I took my first round already! so too late for that, we will see what happens. I go for bloodwork in a cpl weeks to see if in fact I did ovulate.

I just wanted to add, being a long time trier....I was trying for 6 years before we saw an infertility specialist, going on fertility drugs is not the worst thing in the world, and doesnt ALWAYS give you mutiples. I ended up doing clomid for 3 rounds and nothing, and I have very regular every 28 day cycles and nothing wrong with the hubby neither, we then did 3 rounds of clomid(50mg)with the combined IUI and the third time finally worked. I now have an almost 3 year old son.
We then decided we were going to try again as we knew we wanted one more, but this time as I am over 30 now I wanted to ensure that got pregnant sooner, so I talked to my dr and decided that I was going to do the clomid, gonal-f, ovidrill and the IUI together. I got pregant the second month and now we are having twin girls. Which I knew was a possibly as we combined two fertility drugs together so the chances were higher.
Also my IUI was only 250$ every time we did it, out of pocket. SO I would look into it, most insurance companies wont pay for infetilty drugs for ANY reason. unless you have awesome insurance.

 

[mrswemyss]

Anyone had side effects after taking clomid? I am on day 9 after and i had the worst hot flashes last night... I took it for 5 days and i am a little worried it happend after.
What is the half life of clomid?

 

[san fran shan]

I was really emotional while on clomid and depressed. I took it days 3-7 and never had any other immediate side effects. As soon as day 8, I felt normal again. I did get large ovarian cysts from clomid and they still have not gone away (as of last scan). But no hot flashes for me. But I have read that is a normal side effect.
