Do You Believe I Have A Good Chance Of Conceiving Twins If I Currently Was Taking Clomid?

A Parent asks, I have already 2 daughters and is trying for a boy. I have 2 sets of fraternal twins in my family. My aunt who has girl girl and my first cousin who has boy girl. I am taking Clomid to help better my chances in conceiving, what do you think?

It all depends which side of your aunt’s family gave her the genes. The gene would have to come from the maternal side, since the release of 2 eggs is what causes fraternal twins.
Clomid increases the chance of multiples up to about 10%, so not a huge percentage, but more of a chance than without.
In clinical studies, about 30 percent of women taking Clomid became pregnant. Of these pregnancies, 7.98 percent were multiple births, including:
* Twins — 6.9 percent
* Triplets — 0.5 percent
* Quadruplets — 0.3 percent
* Quintuplets — 0.1 percent.
Good luck to you!
I visited my Dr a few weeks ago to begin our fertility treatments and he wants to start me on Clomid after my HSG. He explained that there is only a slight increase in the chance of multiples, he told me it was increased to 10-15%. Clomid can make you ovulate more than one egg, giving the sperm more to target, therefore leaving the possibility for conceiving multiples. More than one egg can be fertilized, but who knows if more then 1 will successfully implant
Good luck to you and lots baby dust!!!
Your chances of multiples from Clomid are 1 in 5 which is very high (the national average is 1 in over 250). This goes up if you already have fraternal twins on your side of the family and/or if you’re over 35 years old, for whom the odds are 1 in 20.
if you have been taking clomid there is a high chance of you having a multiple pregnancy did your fertility clinic not explain that to you
you have a very high chance especially because twins run in your family
It seems like most people on clomid have twins. So I would assume you have a good chance.
