    Clomid and twins

    I have noticed that there is quite a high multiple ratio on this site compared to normal TTC / parenting websites and I was just wondering, how many of them are conceived on Clomid?

    Do we have any statistics?

    There are a lot of twin pregnancies on here, most seem to be clomid but there have been a couple of sets of identical twins.

    Clomid seems to up your chances of twins dramatically, it almost makes me want to rush out and get some! I'd love twins!
    DS1 - 5.5
    DS2 - 3

    It's a girl!

    Just off the top of my head without doing any research at all, I am aware of two sets of natural twins (both ID) and then the rest of the twins were Clomid, I believe. I do not think we've had a single set of natural fraternal twins (which is actually very surprising to me).

    You know, I'm starting to think the chance of twins on clomid is higher than the 10% they say. Just on here its definitely more than 10%!!

    I have heard a girl claim its closer to 80% - but I can't find anything to back that up!

    Crikey - wonder how fast OH will run if its twin next time!?

    It's not 80%, that I'm sure of!! I know quite a few people who had singletons on Clomid.

    atomic sagebrush, I've read your TTC Twins paper, but do you do personal plans for TTC twins and have they been effective?
