clomid and multiples

by chinkalink, Oct 12, 2005 12:00AM
Hello everybody!  I have a question.  I am on my second round of Clomid.  Last month I took 1 pill (50 mg)on days 3-7.  Didn't get pg so the doctor put me on 3 pills (150 mg) for days 3-10.  I took clomid previously and had a successful pregnancy the first time I took it.  My question is if there is a greater chance of having multiple births the more mg you take and the loger you take it.  Thanks for the help.

I took it for 3 rounds, here i'm pregnant with a boy and a girl twins due end of Dec. I didnt ovulate on the first and second cycles and on my third i released 2 eggs.
Clomid increases your chance by 5-8 % having multiples.
good luck

I also took clomid. I have heard the bigger the dosage the bigger the chances of multiples, but in my case if it had happened I would have been thrilled. I didn't conceive the whole 6 months I was on it. Good Luck!

my doc told me the chances are the same no matter the dosage....20-25%. hope this helps.

love....kimmie

I know when i was on clomid the higher the dose the more follicles i released.  but the final winning combination was repronex, hcg, and progesterone.  Yes i got pregnant with a HOM high order fo multiples. quintuplets to be exact.  But it was not in Gods plans for all of them to be with us.  So out of the 5 we have one beautiful baby boy. Hang in there it will happen :o)  ,. and God bless

Hi, I am in the same situation with you. We've tried for 16 month and with nothing, then I went to the specialist and they put me on clomid 100mg day 5-9 and I had 4 follicals and then on the day 12th they gave me a hcg shot and on the day 14th(10/13/05) I had IUI and I have to wait till the 26th to get blood test, I don't know what to think I hope it will be good news.  I hope that for you too.

Thank you for sharing. Let us hope for the best. Hospefully we should get pregnant at this time. Do you have any symptoms that related to pregnancy. I am not sure. May be it is too early to tell. I feel cramps in the lower abdomen but I don't know. Good luck. Keep sharing ur concerns and questions.

Peace and blessings be upon you all
Me and my husband have been trying for over a year now. In April I had an entopic pregnancy, and then in July I had a miscarriage. It is the will of God and we accept it.
Now I am on my second day of Clomid, so far nothing bad but hot flashes. 2-6
Just if it is best to make love every day or every other day, and when should we start?
I will make supplications for you all.
Blessings
