Just a quick survey really to see how many of you Multiple birth mums were prescribed Clomid?

I only ask becuase I have just finished my 1st course and getting a bit nervy now!

As far as I remember you have 1 chance in ten of having twins. Are you already pregnant? congratulations if so .

No multiples for me but 2 seperate friends have had.......triplets. Was a while ago though I think most hospitals are far more careful now - they may not treat you that month if it looks like 3 eggs are viable...or at least not without informing you. Are you being scanned before your fertile period?

I have twins but not through Clomid. Didn't realise it was 1 in 10! Thought the odds were much less than that. It also depends on identical/non-identical I think.

I had clomid for months and there are twins in DH's family so we were very positive about the idea. But no, just got one

Saturday is cd28, so waiting to see if pg right now.......fingers crossed!

My dad has twins and triplets in his family, would that affect it at all or does it go down the other side of the family?

identical twins only run through the mothers family I believe and I don't think non identical twins have a genetic factor, its just 2 eggs (which is more likely the older you are). A friend had boy girl twins after taking colmid

Right, so my dads family wouldn't affect my chances then? Think I am quite relieved about that! I wouldn't be upset to get twins obviously but the added chance with Clomid will do me for starters I think!

I might be wrong but I think non identical twins can run downt he mother's side too, as the increased fertility factor can also be inherited. I'm expecting non-identical twins, but not through clomid. I was using contraception too, so dunno what happened there!

I was on Clomid and had IDENTICAL twins

no twins either side


IDENTICAL TWINS ARE DEFFO just a chance happening same chance for everybody

It is just at what point the split happens obviously if it doesn't at all the siamese twins.

fraturnal = non identical which can run in families
