Pregnancy Info HOME

Please don't attack me!!! I'm just going to give you some facts. I have also thought of taking clomid unprescribed. Not to have multiples but to conceive one child. Dh and I have been ttc for close to 2 years. Since I am ovulating regularly my doc will not prescribe me any meds. Anyway here are the risks. You can develop cysts that will cause extreme pain. If you take too much (since you already ovulate 100 mg is way too much) you can hyperstimulate your ovaries which will cause irreversable damage making you sterile. It causes terrible mood swings and painful ovulating. On top of that the higher the dosage does not mean the higher the chance of multipules. You have the same chance, it's just you do more potential harm to your ovaries. The chances are as follows: No matter who you are and what your reasons for clomid are your chances are as followes: 1 in 10 chance of having twins, 1 in 200 chance in having tripl. and a 1 in 1,000 chance of quads or more. So your chances for mulitiples only slightly increases. I'm not going to tell you what to do. It is your decision. I just wanted to let you know what your risks are. I would not start out with 100 mgs. That is far too risky I would start out with a lower dose of around 25, 50 at the most. If you must.
