Clomid and twins help..

Good Morning Ladies.. We have been trying to conceive for over a year now, he was diagnosed with low sperm count. I just started the process of Clomid, take my first pill on Thursday then we wait for O day and head in for artificial insemination .... I have had numerous people tell me including the dr that Clomid increases your chances for multiple babies... I actually know 2 ladies that have had twins due to clomid.. have any of you known someone that has NOT had twins while taking clomid??

The majority of women I know who have taken clomid have NOT had twins. It does increase ur chances, but really not by much, like 10% over non-medicated cycles. Once u start getting in to injectables, then ur rates go wayyy up!

Thanks for that, It was making me real nervous! Not that I would have changed my mind but boy o boy would that have been something crazy. :) I have 2 sets of twins on my dads side, my dad being one of them and he has 2 sets of twins on his dads side. Not sure that makes our chances any stronger but the more you think about it the more you worry I guess. :)

Awww, dont worry about it. I believe that fraternals are required on ur mom's side for it to affect u...identicals is something u cant control cuz its an extra division of the cells early on and we cant control that whatsoever. The lower ur dose of clomid, the less likely u are to ovulate more than one egg, the days u take it can affect it as well, but all-in-all, dont stress it. Tbh, u have more of a chance to not get preg at all than u do to get twins. Not trying to be negative! =))

Whats days and dose are u on? I did 5 rounds of it, FINALLY got my on round 5 @ 150mg.

I am finished with the Clomid. I am on cycle day 10... i think I need to start testing for ovulation on day 12 right?? I was giving a rx for 3 months.. I was told that if it didnt work within that time frame we would decuss another option.. would assume that would be injections. ??
I have only one ovary, all though that is all you need but still gives us a tiny disadvantage along with the fibroid I have the low sperm motility... oh and my age.. who knew 35 was "old" !! :( I am not old... ha ha haa
