Question about Clomid
Hello ladies, hope it is okay that I pop on here and ask a question about the risk of multiples with clomid. I have a short LP and my doctor prescribed me 50mg of Clomid
I have to go back in on CD13 for a folicle check. Does the number of folicles increase my risk for multiples. Let's say I have 2 folicles that are big enough and they give me an injection to force ovulation, will this increase my risk of twins?
Sorry if this is a stupid question, TIA for any advice you can give me

Re: Question about Clomid
I believe multiples while taking clomid is something like 8-10%. HTH!

Re: Question about Clomid
Hey Aunt Steph!
If you have two follicles big enough when you ovulate, then you definitely have a chance of both of them fertilizing.

Re: Question about Clomid
I had 3 mature follies the cycle I conceived twins.
The cycle before that I had 4 mature follies, and only conceived 1. (this sadly ended in miscarriage)

Re: Question about Clomid
I'm not sure in terms of follicles, but my RE said that generally the multiples rate with Clomid is 1/10.

Re: Question about Clomid
I was told that the chance of twins is about 10% on Clomid and that the chance of triplets or more is much, much, lower.

Re: Question about Clomid
The risk with Clomid isn't extremely high (like others said ~10%), BUT injecting HCG to force ovulation does raise the chances (there are a bunch of numbers out there and i don't know which is right, so i won't even suggest a ballpark %).
The dose also makes a difference (it's more likely with the higher dose than with the 50mg dose).
I took clomid 50mg and triggered with Ovidrel (a form of HCG). I don't know yet if i'm PG with twins (my sono is on the 22nd), but my betas were very high so the possibility is there. Just something to keep in mind
