chance of multiples

Did you RE tell what the percent chance of multiples there was on any given injectibles cycle?

Not chance, but my RE treats any mature follie (or almost mature follie) as a potential baby.  3 mature follies makes him nervous, but he is pretty conservative.

It really would depend on how many follies you have when you trigger.

Every cycle I've had has been 3 follies at trigger.  My RE always goes through the percentages ect. but after almost a year of medicated cycles, nothing.  But, every person is different and like a pp said it really depends on how many follies you have.

My RE has said that Clomid + trigger gives a 5-8% chance of multiples, so I would assume an injectable cycle would have a slightly higher chance.  But like pp said, it will depend on the number of follies.

no they just discuss with me the fact that I am increasing my risk of multiples and review what my options would be if I concieve HOM.

Last cycle I triggered (after injects) with 5 mature follies. Clearly I'm not pregnant. I think the whole thing is more than just an odds game. When I triggered, I had to do so early because I was overstimming. I think any follies I had created were fried. I think they knew that too, so they weren't worried about me triggering with 5.

My RE gave us the percentages because I had so many mature follies the last IUI cycle we did.  The numbers for Follistim are (remember these are the percentages of people that actually achieved pregnancy):  60.3% singletons, 28.6% twins, 4.9% triplets or more, 6.2% undetermined.

BTW, we were also told that the risk of multiples is higher with IUI than with IVF.  With IVF, they have better control because they only will transfer a certain number of embryos.

My RE says 20% chance of multiples with injects.
