How to increase your chances of twins!!!
Now that I have your attention. ;-)
Anyone else noticed that out of the 10's (perhaps 100's) of women who have posted on this board in the last year claiming to be taking u/p clomid to conceive twins even though they O' succesfully on their own, NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THEM has actually conceived twins!
Now those are some interesting statistics for you!

Also from what I have seen, it has taken them a bit longer to conceive than if they were on their own. Interesting.

yet they STILL take it...*head shaking*...I don't get it. Clomid only increases your odds 2-10%....not that good of odds. And NO a family history does NOT raise it any higher. I love the site I gave that said it actually hinders conception by drying up cm, and shortening the luteaul phase. Wish ppl would do better research.

sarah here are a couple sites that may help.

"Because Clomiphene binds to estrogen receptors, including the estrogen receptors in the cervix, it can interfere with the ability of the cervical mucus glands to be stimulated by estrogen to produce fertile mucus. Only "hostile" or dry cervical mucus may develop in the days preceding ovulation."
"For a woman who has normal, spontaneous ovulation, driving the pituitary harder with clomiphene won't make ovulation any more normal"

"Taking Clomid when you already ovulate normally is unlikely to improve your chances."

"my RE told me about Clomid and twins. 8% sounds about right however
this risk is not equally applied to all women. In fact it is the oposite of what you would think. The highest rate of twins occurs in women who are not ovulating at all but are normal in all other respects. This means that if you get them to ovulate and there is more than one egg released there is a higher chance of twins since everything else is normal. If you are ovulating on your own the clomid is being used to hopefully get more than one egg released thus increasing your chances at a single pregnancy."
and the big one of increased ovarian cancer
