I have been lurking around these boards now for about 3 months and thought I better introduce myself. I really want your advice please, Liza. I am a 35-year-old woman who ovulates naturally; I have a 4-year-old son and have just found out that mother and grandmother both reached menopause at age 41, and 42 years of age respectively. This concerns me greatly since I really would LOVE more children. My Clomid arrived this week (un-prescribed) and I intend to start take it around Feb, March next year. My cycles are long in length and vary from anything to 33 days to 40 days. Could this be due to early onset of menopause? My stats indicate that I am ovulating but I wanted to know about the Clomid and the days to take it given the early menopause information, they say take it later i.e. days 4-5 for better quality eggs or early for more follies? How does this apply to me and my situation and my desire to have more than one child? I would really love twins; my husband is an identical twin. I don’t want to take the Clomid too early for fear of miscarriage given my age but I also would love twins. Could you help please? Would you also know what my odds are of having twins? Hels.
