So, I've been a lurker on these boards for a long time and just finally signed up today. I know some women on here have strong opinions either way... But I'm just looking for other women's experiences. I don't want any judgment or negativity.

I have one daughter already. She is 6 months old. I don't plan on trying again until my first daughter is at least a year old, and may possibly wait until she's two years old.

I really want twins or triplets, badly. You probably hear this a lot on here, but I really do. This is something I have always wanted. I've heard of many ways this can be achieved, using the following.

Progesterone Cream
Vitex
Wild Yam Extract
Dairy Products
Clomid

I really want to try using clomid and maybe do it in combination with the vitex and progesterone cream. I'm really not sure what to do. I'm nervous. I've been researching a lot and I'm very unsure what route to go. Especially with the clomid. Where did people (who had successful multiples) purchase their clomid? How many milligrams was it? When did they take it?

I just want some more information.

Also, if you had a c-section, how long should you wait before becoming pregnant again?

Sam** i respect your wish to have twins++, but the fact is, your not going to get much of a response here in the twins and multiples area (go figure). Back out of this forum and go under "General Pregnancy", there is a board called "TTC Twins 2008. Those women may have all your answers!! BTW, i took Vitex last cycle and had a severe reaction to it-- be careful and start with one pill and see how it goes. Im not even going to get into the SE of clomid-- just read up on it please__GL 2 U!!!!

Samanthavv - go to TTC Twins 2008!!! Part 2 we have a large group going now. Just in case you decide not to join us I will give you a bit of information. Taking Clomid and Vitex cancel each other out so do NOT take them together. Clomid has a few drawbacks (OHSS) please look into this before going that route. Make sure you know what the signs are and are willing to go the the hospital or your doctor and tell them that you took u/p clomid if something should happen. As far as where to get clomid how much and when we are all different and if you join our thread you can see what each of us has chosen to do. Good luck on your path whatever it might be.
