I really want twins. Should I go on clomid?
Hello!
At http://infertility.about.com/cs/clomi1/a/Clomid.htm
you will learn that using clomid you get a 5% of getting twins.
As a father to twins , I can tell you that the first year is very difficult , and you will be very tired....
I wish you all the best.
Twin pregnancies carry numerous risks, including pre-term deliveries with its complications, gestational diabetes, pregnancy induced hypertension and more…if it happens – excellent, but I would not ever recommend promoting it!

As a mom of twins, I tell people that there's a reason why most children are born one-at-a-time :-)
Taking a medication that has risks of its own, just to increase your chances of having twins doesn't sound so reasonable to me.

Thank you all.
Dont worry- I am sure you understand the risks of twins and a basic understanding of the tiredness you will endure- but honestly if you have them I am sure you will rise to the occasion. Its kind of interesting to hear parents who have twins go from saying how they wouldn't promote it to saying how its still rewarding. You know that and honestly I hope you accomplish the specialty of having twins.
i feel the same way i want to have twins because my husband said one more pregnancy and we are done and i really want to have 2 more kids so i am torn but i am going to be taking 200 mg of clomid and progestrone when i am ovulating also to help myself have a better chance and if it happens then i will let you know good luck to you
Clomid isn't a drug to be taken lightly. It isn't something you go on just because you want twins. How ridiculous. It's a potent drug and shouldn't be misused just because you want multiples. If you're having fertility issues, and are under the care of a fertility clinic/doctor/RE/OB, fine. If you have no fertility issues and can get pregnant on your own, do not put something into your body that isn't necessary.
Hello, I am in the same boat as you. I just came across this link and was wondering if clomid helped you to get preg with twins? If so, when did you take it and did you take anything else with it? Thanks for your help
hi i am pregnant and i will be finding out if it is twins when i am around 15 weeks they said they will do a altra sound then . but i didn't tell the doc that i took clomid so i will let you know i am 12 weeks so far so i will message back when i know and no i didn't use anything but clomid . but i used 250miligrams a day starting on the third day of my period and i used it for 4 days
