I turn 41 in 2 weeks. I spoke to my Doctor about fertility drugs after my miscarriage last month because I would LOVE to have twins, and she told me the following. 1) as a woman over 40 my chance of twins is naturally increased to 8%. Low dose fertility pills will increase that to 16%. She also told me that if I had trouble holding on to a single pregnancy it would be even harder to hold on to two. She said I would most likely have to leave work (I am an exec in a high stress office) in my 4th month. She told me I should think very very carefully about it, and if I still decided to go for it then she would put me on them. I still would not hesitate except for the higher risk of miscarriage. If my risk is 50% now, what would it be with twins. If you are like me, then go for it. As for multiples, well on lower doses it happens less. Good luck
