Pregnancy Info HOME

I am also in the process of taking clomid, unprescribed, in the hopes of conceiving multiples. I conceived identical girls last December (without meds, of course...meds can't increase your odds of identicals) and lost one to twin-twin transfusion syndrome at 29 weeks. I carried both babies to 32 weeks, and my surviving baby is home now and healthy as can be. So, I am well-versed in twin pregnancies and the risks thereof. BUT i still desperately want the "twin-mom" experience. I took 100mg on days 1-6.

I ordered my meds (fertomid...generic clomid) from an internet site (there are many of them...just google "clomid no prescription" or something like that, and find one...you can even compare prices). Mine also arrived in an envelope (no box...but in one of those push-out sheets of pills, so i was reasonably confident they hadn't been tampered with) from India, but the pills were identical to those I googled.

Looking forward to BD very often for the next month, especially around cd 10-16. Whether or not I conceive multiples (hopefully only (ha!) twins, but I would be thrilled with triplets, too!), at least my daughter will have at least one sibling very close to her in age. ("Irish twins"). I'm looking forward to checking back to this page to see how everyone does.

As for statistics, I'm sure I've seen the same ones everyone who researches has....anywhere from less than 1% to something like 65%. (!!!). Anything that increases my odds is worth my money and time.

My side effects haven't been bad. Some minor hot flashes (easily cured with ice cold drinking water) and crampiness. I will let y'all know how it turns out.
