I have been reading these posts for some time now and have been hesitant to post because of the neg. backlash by even considering taking u/p clomid....

Is this thread even still active??

but...I finally have gotten up the nerve.
So here goes...I am a almost 32 yr old SAHM of three, two beautiful sons 10 yrs(8lb 8oz) (adhd, with many medical problems behind us!!) and 7 yrs (8lb 1oz)(developmentally delayed, once classified as special needs boy..not now..yippee!!). Our daughter was adopted ( we have custody) in our hearts 2 years ago at 7 mo. old from my neglectful sister. At the time when we got our lil girl we had been trying to conceive for 3 years with out any luck ( I had just received my u/p clomid 1 week before the phone call to come get her). I thought she would cure my yearning to be pregnant again...it did for awhile. Now it is back.... My mother and Grandmother both had serious gynecological (sp?) problems in their early thirties that made it necessary to have a hysterectomy before 35.
My hubby and I did discuss the possibilities of hom and while it is not our desire to have 3 or more we feel that with the drug clomid the risks are low by just upping our chances of having twins slightly. I feel that I might be prescribed the drug if I consulted a RE but I have learned that having taken Clomid can reduce or even eliminate your chances to be covered (for basic medical care) by certain medical insurance companies.
I would appreciate any input from anyone who would like to comment... My u/p expires in Feb 07 so I am considering taking it early next year...to get all our affairs in order before just in case we do get preg. with more than one.
