Pregnancy Info HOME

Teddyfinch: Just so you know, my mum is diabetic, too, so I am no stranger to that world. And I have been taking metformin for four years now. And lordy, I am a veteran of infertility, and have used clomid (5 rounds, 4 ovulatory), letrozole (6 rounds, 6 ovulatory, 1 pregnancy with m/c at 12w), follistim (2 rounds of injects, both ovulatory w/ multiple follicles, no pregnancy), and am gearing up for IVF #1 (which is why I was checking out this board in the first place, knowing that I will have a high chance of multiples). And like you, I have confidence in my RE and clinic, as they are very much involved in research. But I do not want a fight, because in a case like this it is futile: neither of us is going to change what we think, and it doesn't really matter, anyway. Because anyone using clomid, whether with or without met, still has a chance of multiples regardless of you or I believe the chances are higher or lower... the chance is still there. And if someone is doing clomid, then they just need to accept that there is a chance of multiples, and that their chance is higher than the general population. Period.
