Hello,
I have never lost a child but I unerstand how you feel (the need to have twins). I will soon start TTC and this will be my last pregnancy due to my med. history. I have one little boy and I despreately want a little girl. I am not a doctor but I will be happy to share with you what I have learn in these forums.
To conceive a girl:
Tip 1) Male sperm swim faster the female sperm, but male sperm die faster. So to better your chances of conceiving a girl, you might try bding 2 and 3 days before you O. If you bd the day that you O, you will have a higher chance of having a boy.
Tip 2) Female sperm live longer then male sperm because they have a stronger protective coating. So female sperm survive better then male sperm in an acidic environment. When a woman has an orgasium, they produce fluids that are made to help protect and energize sperm. So to help hender the male sperm it is best to NOT have an orgasium. Remember female sperm live longer then male sperm because of their protective coating, so this should help eliminate some of the males.
Tip 3) Do some research. I have heard that there are certain foods that you can eat prior to getting pregnant that will help raise your acidic levels. Thus helping to eliminate male sperm.
Tip 4) (This requires a doctor.) There are doctors in the US that can guarentee the sex of the child for about $600. What they do is: they seperate the male and female sperm and then you would inseminated with the female sperm.
When using these methods, not only are you reducing the number of male sperm but you are reducing the number of sperm in general. This can make it harder to get pregnant because your dh may have more male sperm then female. Your wouldn't find that out unless you get his sperm tested.
Clomid:
Most doctors will start you with 50mg of clomid to be taken once a day on cd5-9. This should help you get pregnant sooner. I have only rea about 1 person having twins on 50mg. Cd5-9 will ensure that any eggs that are released will be fully matured.
Most of the twin stories that I have read about were conceived on 100mg or more being taken on cd3-7. Whatever you do, do not exceed 200mg a day. Taking clomid on cd3-7 has been known for making women release more then 1 egg BUT it does not guarentee that the eggs will be mature.
I hope that this will helps. I plan on using clomid in a few months with the hopes for a little girl and if that little girl has a twin that would be even better.
Feel free to ask me any questions. I will be glad to answer you with anything that I know.
