From the readings I'm excited to hear about the success stories. My sister in law was on clomid and also got pregnant with twins. The more the merrier!! Good luck ladies.

Yes clomid does work for some people depending on the quality of your husband's sperm. I had a friend that used clomid for only 2 months and got pregnant.

Hi,

Yes, Clomid works. On my second cycle of clomid I got pregnant with twins. My husband and I had sex almost every other day in order to build up his sperm count. We started on CD8 and continued until CD16 or so. I would say you guys have a decent chance. Good luck!

I've heard it was best to have sex every other day to rebuild the quality of the sperm. I've been trying every other day since cycle day 8. This is my first month on clomid and we're hoping this does the trick!!! Did you have any side effects?
