I am on clomid on the first month, i havent had twins, but i am not sure if i will have twins because i am a twin and my partner is a twin and my partners mother is also a twin, ↑
Lauren: I would take Clomid on the 5th day on my period and continue for 5 days! I started at 50 and then went to 100. Other then feeling pregnant already things are going great. I am surprised at how big i have gotten already and that i can feel the babies move around sometimes. My 3 yr. old daughter is very excited as well, she hopes for girls! But any combination will due. Hopefully we can find out here the end of this month what they are. It is very nice that you get so many ultrasounds done, i have already had 2 done! I am not due until Dec 26, but i am not sure if i will make it that long. My doctor tells me that i will be put on bed rest around 28 weeks, does that seem right, it seems kind of early to me. Are you or have you had twins lauren? ↑
Lauren, sorry after reading over the past conversations, i see you are not pregnant yet. I wish you the best of luck. I did not mention to you that i also was on a carb diet because of PCOS. It was to help maintain my weight and to stay healthy. Until now i really didn't realize how common it was to have twins on clomid. The warning states it increases the chance, but i never would have thought that it would be me. Just stay positive and it will happen soon enough. My husband and I would always make some type of fun game each time we were making love/baby making! It took the pressure off what we were really trying to accomplish. After trying for two years, our sex life had went down hill alot, we are only 21 and 22 yrs. old, it should still be GREAT!! And once we made fun games with it, i think that not haveing the extra stress helped us conceieve our babies! ↑
Lauren, i was on clomid for 4 mths until i got pregnant. I started at 50mg and then went to 100mg. I am not sure how many months i was on the 100mg, it would have been no more then 3. i think i was on 50 mg for 2 months and then 100mg for 2 months and then i was pregnant. It all happened so fast, and it happened when i least expected it to b/c the ob told me that the way my body was reacting anfd in many cases, you won't get pregnant before 6 months. Sometimes it can take years. He had gone over all the risks and the chance for us to have twins and his opioion was that it probally wouldn't happen b/c of the way my bosy was working. So just b/c your ob states that he/she doesn't think that it will happen, that they are right. I believe that everything happens for a reason, not many girls get pregnant at 17 and have a baby and then marry the same guy and have a wonderful life. But i did, i have a great career and a loving family and now twins. If you would of asked people 3 years ago what was going to happen to me, they would of said that i would turn out to be nothing and that i couldn't be a good parent b/c of my age. But they were wrong, i am kinda of subject here, i just want you to keep a positive outlook on things b/c that is when things go your way, when you least expect them to! I am only 16 weeks, so i still have a long ways to go, i would like one of each, my daughter wants girls, and of course my husband wants boys! A lady that works in the same building as me had twins about 3 months ago and she also was on clomid and she was only on 50 mg but she had other problems too. but i believe she said that it took her a about 8 months to get pregnant. But her twins were identical, so i am not sure if that was b/c of clomid or not. ↑
Ashley - wow you guys are sure on the right track (the lord is amazing). I hope I will be joining you in Aug pg with Twins your right I can't get so down...I will be happy with one of course I just might have to go through another pregnacy to have 2 is all. thanks you made my day. ↑
Lauren, i wish you the best of luck with everything, keep me posted! It would be nice to have someone else to talk to who is pregnant with twins, or even just pregnant! I'll let you know next week what we are having! ↑
Hi Ashley - I will keep you posted today is cycle day 16 so we are doing the baby dance everyother day. I think I o'd yest. Will let you know soon..pls pray for us! I can't wait to see what you are having. I sort of feel its going to be one of each.....just a feeling. ↑
Hi Lauren, I am excited for the anticiaption just find out if it works for you this month! I really feel like it is one of each and my husband thinks it is two girls! I REALLY would like one of each! How many mgs of clomid are you taking? ↑
Ashley - I bet your 3 yr old is just so elated. I only took 50mg this mth so I'm not feeling that positive on twins...pretty low chance for me. I go in on Monday for blood work to check that I O'd. I was wondering did you feel any diff. in the beginning compared to your 1st preg. One of each would just be perfect for you! I'll talk soon. ↑
Lauren, well i was almost 5 months pregnant with Haillee, my first child. So really i can't remember what my feelings where. I was only 17 and my period was never right, i played sports, went to school and worked alot. So i never really payed that much attention to how i was feeling, i never had morning sickness and the same with this pregnancy. Before i got pregnant this time i thought i was pregnant a couple of months ago, and which case i wasn't. So finally i really didn't think that it had worked but then my period never came, so i took the test and sure enough i was, but i never really thought that it was twins. Besides being tired and being hungry alot more then i normally am i wasn't sure that anything had changed. My midwife said there was a possiblity b/c of my size that there might be two, so i went for an ultrasound early! And there they were, so in my case really there was no sign that there were two! Let me know how you make out on your blood work! Have you been having troubles trying to concieve? Is that why your on Clomid? If it is, there is always the chance that the 50mg won't work and you'll get moved up to the 100mg! Keep me posted ↑
Lauren, CONGRATS!!!! I am excited, i have a good feeling about it! Even if it is only one! We go today to find out the gender of the babies, i am so excited! We are taking our daughter Haillee along to see the ultrasound. We are trying to keep her involoved so she doesn't feel left out. Do you have any other good ideas on how to help make her feel like she is involved? Good luck and keep me posted, how many more weeks until you know? ↑
Ashley - how r u feeling? tell me what some of your early pg symptoms were for your twins?some women state they are 2x as strong as single pg, some say same? Your daughter will probably enjoy picking the nursery stuff out. I would also get her alittle stroller & new baby so she can get use to the idea. I bought my daughter twins so that is neat. ↑
ashley - what are you having?? the suspence is getting to me. as for me not feeling to positive as I wipped this am & red blood was there likely AF. I am 12-14 days post O & cycle day 26 which seems so short. I have cramps still which has been going on for 5 days. Guess its not my turn. Good luck ladies. ↑
Lauren, Well we are having 2 boys!!! I really felt like it was one of each, but i will still love them both. Well when i first got pregnant, i really had no symptoms. Never had morning sickness or anything, maybe a little increase in hunger and i was a little more tired. But i feel that way around my period. But when i didn't get my period, i knew it worked. But look at it this way, if you got your period this month, maybe only a couple more months anf they will up your dosage of clomid and you'll have a better chance. Have you asked your doctor if you could up your dosage? I feel now like I am really forgetful, did you ever get that way when u were pregnant? Good luck and keep me posted. Do u think it would be easier to use email then writing in this? ↑
Lauren, U know it might be from the implantion or something like that. it is normal to have that early on... I know that when i was a little farther along i had some slight bleeding, and cramping and it was just something they couldn't explain. Plus a month ago i was bleeding again and here it was from my Cervix, i had a tear in it from having sex,. So that could be too sign you have been ahving alot of it! ↑
Ashley - oh wow 2 boys how awesome. I had bleeding with both girls a bit in the beginning I just thought I was a little further along....maybe I should test? Oh ya & the forgetful thing...I hate to tell you it is going to get so much worse I like to call it the shrinking brain...it does come back a few mths after you have the babies! my email is tdesser@sympatico.ca talk soon ↑
I conceived twins naturally last year and miscarried at 13 weeks. Now have luteal phase defect and am getting ready to start first month on Clomid. What are the chances of conceiving twins again, this time on Clomid. I want twins but can't take the pain of losing them again. ↑
Hi I am the mom of 4 boys, and would like to have another baby, I have a ludal phase defect, and the doctor wants to swich from progestorone to clomid....anyone know much about this? ↑
I miscarried twins back in May- the first died at 9 weeks and the other at 11 weeks. I had gotton pregnant on clomid. I am now on my first cycle of clomid since my loss- I am on cd6 ↑
Lauren & Ashley - I have enjoyed reading your posts. I am new to all this. This is the 1st time I've taken Clomid - 50 mg. It had the opposite affect on me - my husband called it happy pills. I was bouncing off the walls and getting alot done around our new house (just moved 2 weeks ago). With all of you who have gotten pregnant with twins I'm wondering how many mature follicles did you see when you had your internal ultrasounds? I'm wondering what my chances are.
Good luck to everyone! ↑
Chris, first off Congrats on a new house and good luck with the baby thing! I never had an internal ultrasound done once i was pregnant. I only had a regular ultrasound, and Lauren, well she is still waiting to get pregnant! But i have heard the clomid does cause different side effects when it comes to your mood! I wish you the best of luck and keep us posted... ↑
Ashley - Did you have any before you got pregnant? I guess I should have clarified, but since I'm not pregnant yet I didn't think about that. I've had about 4 so far so they could watch the progress. I had two mature follicles on Friday and I had to get a shot to stimulate my ovaries to make me ovulate this weekend. I just don't know what the odds are of both eggs being fertilized, if any. They told me I was having a "beautiful cycle" though! ↑
Hey ladies, just looking for some info. I am currently on my 2nd round of clomid 75mg days 3-7. I am just wondering what your ovulation was like. I am in PAIN!!!! Nothing that would send me to the er, just this dull ach in my whole lady area. I had horrible pain, then a positive opk yesterday, then a neg today but still achy. I am just wondering if this is a sign of a good ovulation. I am currently between ob and re (which I will see on the 16th) so I am unmonitored this month ↑
