Hi,

I am extremely sorry for the mishap and understand your feelings well as I am myself a mother.

It is possible to have twins with clomiphene but it does not mean that higher doses necessarily mean higher number of babies. It is not possible to predict who will have twins and who will not. The only way to have guaranteed multiple pregnancies is by doing a test tube baby procedure and transferring multiple embryos inside the uterus.

So please do not attempt to take higher doses unless recommended by your doctor as very medicine has adverse effects. Also please take any fertility enhancing medicine only after consulting an infertility specialist as repeated indiscriminate use of these drugs lead to poor results later.

Also as you have had a miscarriage, it is better to have a single baby as chances of miscarriage are also more in twins.

Please do not worry about these issues so much. Consult an infertility specialist if you have problems with conceiving. If the first pregnancy was spontaneous then this is also not needed at this point of time. You may get evaluated for abortions [but we generally recommend it after repeated abortion and not if it was the first time].

Take prenatal vitamins and calcium and follow a healthy sleep and exercise pattern. Also get registered with your doctor early in the next pregnancy and take supportive drugs like HCG and progesterone to help prevent any further mishaps.

I am sure you will do well. Best of luck and have a good day. Cheer up.

Hope this satisfies your query.
Thanks for using HCM.
