Chlomid - Multiple births

(17 Posts)
Add message | Report | Contact poster By Sun 04-Jun-06 17:45:08
Had Lap and Dye Thursday and they found nothing. Conceived both daughters 1st month but last one stillborn 12 months ago.

Doc said he was reluctant to give me chlomid and is going to leave me until Nov as he thinks I will conceive naturally long before then. Thinks block in my head and there is a danger of a multiple if I take chlomid given that I caught so quickley before.
I am 39 next month and wondered what people thought and if anyone knows of anyone having twins or more on chlomid and what its like generally?
Thanks

how long have you been TTC this time chocpeanut

I took low-dosage clomid even though was ovulating my post-luteal phase was too short .. had no issues with it and conceived single child first cycle .. however there is an increased risk of multiple births

I have a friend who conceived twins on Chlomid
I was on chlomid for 13 months before I conceived ds, and he wasn't a twin!

But I do think there is an increased chance you might have a multiple birth.

I was told that there was a small chance of multiple pg. They went on to give the stats...1 in 25.
I'd say that was a high chance myself - 1/4 !!

I conceived ds after having 3 months of 50mg cloimid and then coming off.
I have to admit a little sigh of relief when I had my early (seven week) scan and only saw one heartbeat.
I reacted very well to clomid apparently as I have about 4 eggs each month - could have easily been very multiple!

Dont get me wrong as I am desperate for another child but I am 39 next month and have a 2.d dd. Twins would financially cripple us and see me off for sure

But if I am still in same boat in Nov then i might just have to take the risks but given that I am going to be scared to death next time that I might have another stllborn,its seems a small risk to take

I think the risk of multiple births is greater with higher doses of clomid.
