So on Sat 12/1 @ 11am, I had two follies (15 & 17mm). My RE told me to take my ovidrel on Sun 12/2 at 10pm, and we scheduled my IUI for Tues 12/4 at 9am. What are the chances that BOTH follies matured and made it? My RE said on Sat 12/1 "Your chances of twins with clomid is very slim", but I am wondering if she jinx'ed me!! I know you can't answer for sure, and I have my first u/s scheduled next week. Any thoughts!?!?!

As someone who did a single embryo transfer and had twins - I'm going to say there is always a chance!
I don't think Beta #'s are a reliable indicator, mine were on the low normal side with the twins. Good luck
I think the High Order Multiples on the t.v. shows were the result of injectibles+IUI, weren't they?
I found a stat on Clomid that said 7.98 percent of resulting pregnancies on clomid resulted in multiples: 6.9 percent twins; 0.5 percent triplets; quads 0.3 percent; quints 0.1 percent.
FYI, there is a website out there with stats on betas for single births, twins, triplets, etc., but I don't remember what it is. I'm sure you could search it and find it. However, my betas were always really high (like over the triplet range for the number of days post-iui I was) and I only had a single baby cooking in there. I think he just implanted early because I got a positive pregnancy test 9 days post IUI.

Hard to say. I have a friend that did clomid (first round) with IUI's and is pregnant with triplets.
For me- I did clomid +injectibles. For all 3 of my pregnancies I have had 3 or more measurable follicicles over 19mm. I have only been pregnant with a singleton each time.
Hard to know!
Good luck!
I know a clomid +TI= twins IRL and a clomid+TI=twins on the boards so it is possible.
DS2 is the result of follistim +TI with (1) 18.5mm and (1) 18mm follies at trigger. This pregnancy is follistim +IUI with (1) 19mm and (1) 18mm follies at trigger. Both are singleton pregnancies.
Unexplained Infertility
After two Clomid cycles, three injectable IUI cycles, two IVFs, two miscarriages, and one lap surgery, IVF #2 has brought us our little boy!
TTC #2
After months of being postponed or cancelled, FET #1.3 (Natural FET) brought us twin girls!
Come back and let us know after next week's ultrasound how many are in there!
