In a fertile, 28-year-old woman who ovulates on her own and has regular 28-30 day cycles, would Clomid 100mg taken on days 3-7 increase her chances of conceiving twins more than 10%? What are the actual statistics for a woman in this situation? I'd appreciate all responses, especially those who have been in this situation. Not to be rude, but hold the sermons. I've scoured the net and have yet to find info about a case such as this. Thanks for your time! Whitley ↓
I think it would increase your chances for multiples as well as cysts. I know that I've read it increases, but I would be careful with the 100mg & start with 50mg if you haven't taken it before. I took 50mg on cd3-7 because I wanted to increase the number of follicles & was told I now have multiple cysts on my ovaries. Ouch! ↑
I am 30 yrs old and always had slightly irregular periods. The cycles could range from 30 days to 45 days... After a couple of months of trying to conceive with my husband, my period suddenly stopped altogether for a couple of months for no reason. I tested negative on pregnancy tests. So my doc prescribed 50mg of clomid that i took for one course on cd3-7 and i immediately became pregnant with twins! I never had any problems with cysts...my doc never mentioned it. She did say that my chances of having twins is about 10% with Clomid. ↑
I'll let you know. I have an MD appt at the end of the month and will be 8 weeks (although they may not be able to tell from then). I am 26 and used unprescribed clomid hoping for the same thing (as with whitley, please hold the sermons as I've done my research). I only took 50 mg, but I did it days 2-6, which is supposed to increase your odds of producing more follicals. I have seen on another site a woman who became preg with triplets on 50 mg of unprescribed clomid, so be prepared for anything and just be ready to take responsibility for any and all consiquences. I have been having preg symptoms starting right after conception and tested + the night before af was due. Been very tired, no m/s, slight nausea, boobs are HUGE, but tummy hasn't changed. I didn't have symptoms until over 8 wks with my first. So, I'll keep you updated. good luck to you, but please be sure to do your research (and it sounds as though you are, so kudos) and start off with the LOWEST dose (50mg) to reduce the odds of producing cysts, which I've heard can be VERY painful. ↑
also, I have heard some places that the odds are more like between 20-25% for twins with clomid. SO, you never know. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Baby Dust*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ ↑
I am currently going through the same process. I am in the middle of doing all the research before my husband and I try anything. I am 26 years old, and haven't had a child yet. We are looking forward to whatever blessing we receive, but would enjoy multiples. I am polynesian, which I can't find statistics for as of yet, with multiple births in previous generations. Clomid, I am looking into no prescriptions (yes research yes). Let me know how it goes for you, feedback would be wonderful. ↑
Hello, I am new to the forum. I read on another forum, that some of the NICU nurses are saying that clomid increases the chances of twins by 80%. I started clomid today 100mg and hoping for atleast one. lol and baby dust to all!!! ↑
I became pregnant for the first time after 5 months on Clomid on the 150mg dose, 2 months ago but lost the baby. I have a left over dose of Clomid and am thinking about taking it in addition to my next round giving me 200mg for 6 days (days 2-7), I am also taking unprescribed Metformin for possible PCOS (my Dr is only an OBGYN and will not look into my sugar issues, but my insurance will not cover seeing a RE). I am nervous, but would LOVE twins. I am hoping that the additional Clomid will help the pregnancy stick AND maybe give us twins? I would love to hear what you all think about this!?! ↑
I'm in the same boat with you Whitley - I asked my Dr. and he said nope. So I ordered mine online...but he did tell me the reason he said no is b/c it increases my chances to 80% if I ovulate naturally. He did mention that it doesn't help to take a higher dose and after 3 months it's not as effective as it was the first month. I've heard many stories and everyone's MD says something different...I only know what mine has told me. I ordered mine online, we are going to try in Sept. and hopefully conceive!! ↑
I started my first round of clomid 100mg days 3-7 and I am now CD 17. I think I ovulated around CD 14-15. Much later than I usually ovulated. I had a tubal reversal and left with only one tube. I originally ordered clomid via website without a Rx however, the medication looked differently so I did not take it. I did research and the pill was much different color and shape. I am a RN and decided it was to risky. So please be careful ladies as ordering it from unreputable companies could be dangerous. I ovulate naturally and hoping to have atleast one baby at this point but would welcome more. I have read that multiples happen more often than not. lol and baby dust to all!!!!!!!!!! ↑
JOJO- Are you going to tell your Dr? Where did you get it? Does it have directions? Sorry for all the questions!! Good luck! Let me know how Sept turns out!!! :) ↑
I just received a 10pk of 50mg Clomid (Generic actually, it's Fertomid) in Perth. I ordered it from www.drugstoreone.com and it came in a little envelope from India! I was a bit suss as it didn't come in a box, but I am satisfied it is the real deal as it looks identical to the pics I googled. We're not going to TTC for a wee while, but it wont expire til Dec 2007 so plenty of time. I will take 50mg 3-7 and cross my fingers. ↑
I'm not going to tell my Dr. b/c he will not be happy. I've done quite a bit of reasearch and have decided I'm taking the 50mg days 3-7 (some of the studies I read say if you take it 2-6 you make more eggs but have a higher chance of miscarriage, days 5-9 you make stronger eggs which decrease chance of miscarriage) I ordered mine through www.freedompharmacy.com I ordered the express shipping, but I still didn't get it for about 14 days. I'm doing the muccinex and asprin mix (one asprin a day - to facilitate blood flow once the egg is attached, and one muccinex (for the guaffinisen, 600mg) to aid in the hostile cervical mucous and cervical dryness that comes from clomid.) I will also use preseed during BD to help with attachment of the egg(s). I have about 13 days until AF and I'll begin - this will be out last pregnancy (already have a daughter) so I desperately want multiples...wish me luck Baby dust and love to all!!! ↑
Congrats to all those with BFPs. I have enjoyed reading this thread. I am still unsure whether to take 50 or 100mg on 2-6 or 3-7. Does anyone know how common high order multiples are in fertile women taking clomid? I would like twins, even triplets but would be scared of quads or quins. I am 29 and have been on the pill for 12 years. ↑
I don't think that 50mg or 100mg makes any difference in already fertile women, so 50mg should be fine. I have heard of about 2 incidences of triplets on unprescribes clomid, a handful or more of twins, and about an equal amount of singletons. I think they key is the time when the clomid is taken, but even then it's more of an individual thing, they had infertile women taking it 1-5 and no higher incidence of twins vs singles than any other CD theme, just a higher actual pregnancy rate... ↑
I am also in the process of taking clomid, unprescribed, in the hopes of conceiving multiples. I conceived identical girls last December (without meds, of course...meds can't increase your odds of identicals) and lost one to twin-twin transfusion syndrome at 29 weeks. I carried both babies to 32 weeks, and my surviving baby is home now and healthy as can be. So, I am well-versed in twin pregnancies and the risks thereof. BUT i still desperately want the "twin-mom" experience. I took 100mg on days 1-6.
I ordered my meds (fertomid...generic clomid) from an internet site (there are many of them...just google "clomid no prescription" or something like that, and find one...you can even compare prices). Mine also arrived in an envelope (no box...but in one of those push-out sheets of pills, so i was reasonably confident they hadn't been tampered with) from India, but the pills were identical to those I googled.
Looking forward to BD very often for the next month, especially around cd 10-16. Whether or not I conceive multiples (hopefully only (ha!) twins, but I would be thrilled with triplets, too!), at least my daughter will have at least one sibling very close to her in age. ("Irish twins"). I'm looking forward to checking back to this page to see how everyone does.
As for statistics, I'm sure I've seen the same ones everyone who researches has....anywhere from less than 1% to something like 65%. (!!!). Anything that increases my odds is worth my money and time.
My side effects haven't been bad. Some minor hot flashes (easily cured with ice cold drinking water) and crampiness. I will let y'all know how it turns out. ↑
High my peroids arent reg either I started with 50mg clomid( Freedom-Pharmacy.com). Look up fertomid.No Script.Anyway, I just lost triplets the 17th heartbreaking I am rh- .Anyway I was and will be again taking 5omg clomid for 5 days.If u like to chat Osundaughterlewa@aol.com.Check out this pharmacy and baby dust and best wishes to all. ↑
lewa, I am so sorry for ur lost, I was wondering what happened with ur rh factor? I am rh- too, and mc in march, dr said that it was probably due to that, however, I have 2 sons and took rhogam after each and each mc, how does the clomid help? does it reduce the chance of mc? ↑
well wondering (and thankyou ladies for you condolences) clomid does not decrease as far as I know you chance of mc.As far as I know clomid just produces more eggs (it has its side effects, however I am not 100% sure mc is one of them) Do your research.I have recieved the shot but th dc tells me that the rh- antibodies are more harmfull with subcequent pregnancies and to (as soon as I/u suspect that u r indeed preg. get your blood work done so that the shot can be given as soon as possible) I say it never hurts to pray.Again ladies I wish u all the best in health pregnacy and childbirth, rearing and life.Baby dust to all . ↑
Iewa and anyone who wants to ans, I called my dr and was told I had formed no antibodies against the rh factor and all should be ok in that area. Do drs give the shot before 28 weeks just to be safe? The last dr I went to and mc, he did my pap and because my uterus is tilted, he had a hard time finding my cervix, anyway, during the pap, it hurt really bad, which is not normal for me, a week later I mc, after the pap, I started having mild cramps and they got worse. I wonder if he caused the mc, knowing that if he had he would never say so, so my question is, if it were u, would u go to another ob when u conceive again or would u stay with the same one because he is the one that treated u the last time? This has really concerned me, to the point of refusing a pap until 2nd trimester, all my tests and blood work was fine the last time ( 4 months ago). What do u think?Oh and not to mention, he said he saw two sacs in my uterus, which mean I was preg with twins. ↑
they dont do pap smears at all during pregnancy if your last one was within a year of the pregnancy, they prefer to do them when you are not pregnant. ↑
