Interesting read Atomic, thanks! Do we know roughly what the percentage increase is in odds of conceiving twins on Clomid are?

As i am not wanting to ttc for another 6 months...Would I be right in assuming that if I take wild yam root capsules for the next few months then stopping and taking vitex when ttc that I may hyper ovulate?

SOY - Taking soy isoflavones, 200 mg from CD 3-7, total of 5 days, may help to sway for twins. It acts as a natural Clomid. (may sway blue, because it does increase CM, but if you take antihistamines to dry up your CM you may get the benefits from the soy of releasing more than one egg, you may still be able to incorporate soy into a pink sway as well as a blue one.)

VITEX - Vitex from AF-O may sway for twins. (sways pink) However, some researchers believe that it may actually PREVENT twins. (I did conceive twins while taking vitex so I happen to know that isn't the case in all circumstances.)

What does CD and CM mean?

Cd = cycle day, cm= cervical mucous

In my signature below there is a link to the Complete Index (please cut and paste into your browser) and under "V" there is an essay on how to use vitex.

8-10% twinning on Clomid
1 in 200 trips
1 in 333 quads
1 1000 quints (!)

Wild yam actually is not able to be used by the body and has been debunked, UNLESS you can get the cassava yam (I do think they're selling this online now)

Please be careful and think seriously before going this route, I used to think that the risks of twinning were no big deal but we have had quite a few sad/scary stories involving twin pregnancies. Way, way more sad than happy endings.
