Pregnancy Info HOME

hihotrockermom!! I am soooo glad i found you..I am in the same boat! lol..have a 6 yr old boy..have no problem conceiving, but my husband and I want twins really bad!! Where did u get your clomid from..b/c I now my dr will not rx it!!! Please keep in touch maybe we'll both have twins!!

Can I join??? My husband doesn't know I'm taking clomid. He does know I want a 3rd baby & do test everyday (ovulation test).... MD said I could only have 3 kids since it's C-section (I have no health problems) I want to take my chances with twins & end it there if that's possible.

Hi all. Have u started clomid yet? Ive finished my first round on 25mg and now waiting to start bd in the weekend. No side effects, only a bit moodyness. Keep posted whether you pg or not, I will do the same.Im sooooo excited and a bit as i dont want triplets but twins would be nice.

MyLife - I know how you feel. I have a 2 yr old but I want more then one child. Because of my thyroid problems this will be my last pregnancy. My husband has said that if we are going to have problems with this pregnancy then he doesnt want to do it. He could just as happy with the one child that we have, as he would be with more. i have decided not to tell him that my doc wants to put me on clomid. He knows that I will be testing all the time for ovulation and he is fine with that. I am really hoping to conceive twins because I have always wanted a big family. We will start TTC this summer. I hope everything goes good for you!

Good Luck!

For those who take PRESCRIBED Clomid under the supervision of a doctor for necessary fertility treatments, I wish you an immense amount of luck, good will, and most of all, a successful pregnancy with a beautiful result! For those who are naively taking UNPRESCRIBED Clomid for the sole glory of having twins, I would urge you to spend some time in your local NICU and see what happens more often than not. Even if you have never had any problems carrying your other babies, twins are a completely different story. Before I had my twins (losing one and fighting for 3 months to keep the other), I had no idea how dangerous having twins is. You never know the full story when you see the cute little strollers at the park. A lot of people think it's "two for the price of one!" It's more like two for the price of... two and a half. ANd that's if you're lucky. Sometimes it's one or none in the end. I was absolutely shocked to see how full the NICU was with twins and triplets. And many of them will have longterm development problems. Those aren't "cute". If you are playing with fire unnecessarily, please rethink what you are doing. It's not fair to the babies you want to carry or the to the ones you may already have at home if the pregnancy ends in your own death. If you think it can't happen to you, you are WRONG. I have met SO many mothers just like me, with no history of problems with a pregnancy, with pregnancies ending in disaster because they were carrying twins. Yes, people have twins successfully every day, but you should know that when they say "high risk", they really mean it. Even with the very best, most observant prenatal care, it is still stunningly dangerous.

here we go again were are you getting your info do you know that most multiple that end up in NICU are identical and its some times cause they share a one blood supply do your home work

LOL. I think you should do YOUR homework. I think I would know better than you, all things considered. As well as get yourself a an English dictionary and grammar book. Hard to take you seriously, honestly.

And I didn't say MOST anywhere. It happens more often than you think. That's the truth.

lovingbabies - I have been following the posts in most of the room regarding clomid and twins. I have to say that women are NOT wanting twins because it would be "cute" in a stroller or for the "glory" of it! These women have their reasons for wanting these babies and that is their choice, not yours. From what I have experience in here, these women have done their research and if they have questions they ask their doctors; then share that information with the rest of us. There is nothing wrong with reaching out to other people in your same situation for advice and reassurence. We are perfectly aware of the risks and many many many of us are being closely watched by professionals. If we wanted someone to devils advicate, we would ask for the negativity. I appreciate that you have a strong opinion about this subject but please dont bring your negativity into a positive environment like this one. All that does is bring people down. If you would like to express your concerns about this why dont you start your own forum about this subject. I am sure that people who agree with you will chime in! Also, those of us that may have additional questions about the risks can go in there and talk to people like yourself that have had experience with this.

SoReady you are so right lovingbabies has to clam down and stop freaking ppl out if i was pregnant right now with twin if it was planed or not I'd be going nuts right now thinking some thing is going to be wrong with my babies any one that has been pregnant or trying to get pregnant knows how scary it tohear some thing may be wrong that what makes it so hard to believe that lovingbabies is telling the truth or trying to help like she says

Well this is the place for me! I too am hoping to conceive twins using u/p clomid, and if it's delivered in time I'm hoping to start next month so if anyone's looking for a buddy......

One query though, I'm new to all this fertility talk and although I know it means Period, what does AF stand for??

AF = Aunt Flow :)

Ah ha, so simple! Thanks MomToEli

mylifenotyours,
Did you take clomid? Did it work for you? I just wanted to share my story with you. I am also planning on taking clomid in July. I am trying to lose a few pounds first. I also was not going to tell my husband but I finally did tell him and to my suprise he was ok with it. You should atleast let someone know you are taking it a friend or someone just incase something goes wrongg which is unlikley but you never know. My husband is the only one who knows. I dont want anyone else knowing. I will just act suprised. The plan is to say I was on birth control when it happened since if you get pregnant on the pill it can incress chances off twins. I would even love to have triplets. I cant wait. I have already been taking prenatel vitamins.
