Success after IF
If you have multiples?
I am starting Clomid next cycle. My Dr. said that it slightly raises
the chance of multiples. Did anyone conceive multiples while on Clomid?

Re: If you have multiples?
It does not raise them SLIGHTLY, it raises the chances a lot. But that "a lot" amount varies with each person. We had anywhere from 1-5 "ready" follies at TI/IUI time.
The important thing is that you're being monitored thru your cycle, and you know exactly what's going on with your eggs, before you have sex/IUI. You should not take clomid and just see what happens... make sure you're getting monitored at ovulation time.
ps - there are LOTS of clomid sucess stories on here. lots.

It's going to depend on your own personal response...
When I was on clomid (unmonitored, I know, I know) my old ob/gyn told me that in his experience, he'd found the rate of twins on clomid to be about 3%, and he'd only had one set of triplets from it ever -- and he's been practicing for over 30 years.
That said, I was pretty sure I had more than one follicle one of my rounds of clomid, based on how crappy I felt, but none of them worked.
After 2 rounds of IVF & 2 rounds of FET, we were blessed with identical twin girls!
this. i have twins from IVF #2. on clomid i only ever got one mature follie, despite the dosage (and i O regularly on my own). on injectables i got 2 matures most cycles.

I took 100 mg of clomid to conceive DD (1 baby)... but it definitely does raise your chance of multiples.
I took Clomid to get this baby and we only have one in there. It does raise your chances of multiples, but each person will respond differently.
Good luck!
