Does Taking Clomid Increase Chance Of Having Twins?

Hello dr.samuel,

I would like to get pregnant and my gynicologist suggested me to take clomid for 5 days from day 2 to day 6 of my period.
I am afraid to do so because I have heard that there is a big chance for twins while taking clomid.
Is that right?are the chances so big?

Hi,

The chance of having twins while taking Clomid is only around 8-10 percent. So it does increase a woman's chances, but not that much. Less than 1 percent of Clomid pregnancies result in the births of triplets or higher order multiples.So there is no big chance of twin. You can take it for few cycle to increase fertility. After taking clomid ovarian follicle study should advisable.

Follicle size of 18-21 mm release best quality egg and have high chance of pregnancy. You can also take progesterone pill in second half to support implantation and pregnancy. So take clomid under advise of gynecologist. Avoid stress, take healthy diet, drink plenty of water and do regular exercise.

Hope this may help you. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Best regards,
Dr. Sagar
