Question: I'm 29 and pregnant with 3rd child. I had a miscarriage previous to this pregnancy and b/c i was so anxious to get pregnant I was taking Unprescribed 100mg of clomid....i'm 6 weeks and scared of the possibility of twins or that i may lose this pregnancy. does anyone know what happens if you do get pregnant on clomid and your already fertile? Hope this all works out! any advice welcomed ↓
well kris that i know of alot of woman take clomid while there already fertile trying to have twins but not always work so dont be scared just ask your doc about it ↑
The odds of having twins using clomid are less than 1%. It doesn't increase the hormones that are typically needed for twins so I wouldn't worry too much about it. Good luck! ↑
I hope that you took the 100 mg (twice the regular dose!!) for only five days. Plenty of people take Clomid who produce eggs naturally. Clomid helps the body to produce more viable ones and also encourages the best to "burst" out. More eggs doesn't mean more babies. Don't take more meds without a prescription, please!! For future reference, eating yams produces much of the same effect (check your herbal medicine info). ↑
i have been prescribed clomid...my doctor told me that overall you have a 1 in 6.5 chance of conceiving multiples while taking clomid....1 in 10 for twins...1 in 200 for triplets...1 in 333 for quadruplets...and 1 in 1000 for quintuplets...do your research before giving advice!!!!! ↑
if you were already fertile and now you're taking clomid 100mg then it's possible to have twins. remember that clomid trick your mind onto releasing another egg. so if you were ovulating before i think your posibility of having twins is like 80%.
To everyone who is saying don't worry because your chances are so low of getting pregnant with multiples on Clomid, that's not true. I took Clomid unprescribed also and I only took 50mg for 5 days. Right now I am 18 weeks pregnant with triplets. ↑
How many of you ovulate naturally and conceived twins or more on unprescribed Clomid? Kris, did you how is your pregnancy going and are you having twins? Good luck with everything! ↑
Hi I have 6 year old twin girls and was pregnant while taking clomid 50 MG. I thought I might have a problem, but now I am 6 weeks pregnant without having used clomid, so it happened naturally this time. I'm sure you'll be ok, but it could be twins the chances are higher with clomid, much higher. ↑
I am taking clomid and my doctor told me I had a 5-8% greater chance of twins over the average populations percentage of 12-15% or total you have around 20% chance of having twins. The numbers vary marginally depending on the study you reference. Greater number of multiples has even less percentages. She told me of all the pill form fertility drugs, Clomid has the least chance of multiple gestations. I'll pray for a healthy pregnancy, God Bless! ↑
I became pregnant for the first time on 150mg of Clomid 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 am getting ready to start Clomid 50 mg. i have read so much differing info on twins ect. not sure what to believe. i would love to have twins, but i have miscarried 3 times(19wks,twins 8wks,12wks) and know that there are higher risks when carrying multiples. I am keeping my fingers crossed. I ovulate on my own, but got the Clomid no prescription. for a boost. wish me luck. ↑
I'm thinking of starting Clomid to have twins myself also because my cycles vary in length each month and it is hard to know when I'm ovulating. Also I have what may be a stupid question-Does having a period always mean you are ovulating? Or can you have a period without ovulating? ↑
Carly, I have always had regular periods. When I started my fertility treatment, my Doc said I was one of those womens who didn't ovulate every month, maybe every other month (according to the testing that was done). I am now on Clomid 50 mg. So, from my experience you don't ovulate everytime you have a period. ↑
Hi...
My dr. is prescribing clomid...in sept. He wants to make our timing is down. I get my "period" every 28 days, but unless you ovulate it's not really your period, it annovualtory bleeding , which you can get every month, like a period. Try looking up, LUFS....It's one thing you can have when you don't ovulate but still get your "period"....Hope that helps. Here's to clomid!!! ↑
I took clomid to conceive my first child, and only got one baby. It did work, however, after the very first month's treatment. I was told that there is a less than 2% chance of twins on clomid,by my doctor, but I am assuming he was talking about chances in women who don't ovulate and take Clomid. I don't know what the chances or statistics are in women who are fertile, who ovulate and take clomid anyway just to increase their odds of twinning. At any rate, it only gave me one baby. I did end up having twins right after my oldest had her 3rd birthday,but ironically, not using clomid. Life is strange. ↑
I had semi-regular periods all my life but never ovulated, I would later find out. You can build uterine lining and shed that lining, without ovulating. I am one such person. ↑
