[quote=Anonymous]4 years ago I took clomid because I didn't get my period when I stopped birth control. I also used progesterone (at least that's what I think I remember) to "jump start" my period. While we were open to the possibility of twins, my doctor told me that without clomid about 1 in 100 births are twins and with it about 10 in 100 (i.e. The risk goes up 10x, but odds are still that you'll have just one).  She told me that the likelihood of triplets is about 1/4000 without clomid and about 1/3000 with. She did not monitor me at all, I took it days 5-10, and got pregnant immediately with my daughter. I don't remember any side effects. This time around, after a year of trying to conceive, I took clomid with a different doctor (as my prior doctor retired) who did monitor me. She proscribed it atypically - days 5-12, then I went in for an ultrasound and to bring my eggs along added two more days! It was a low dose, I tried it two months, and both times felt a little dizzy from the day I stopped to the day I ovulated (4 days or so both times). I am not pregnant and now am exploring what my next steps will be. [/quote]
