Reading through these posts, I have a question, not about multiples (sorry), but about the time that most people say they are supposed to try before being prescribed clomid. My husband and I have only been trying since December. We got pg in March, but I miscarried in May. I also had a miscarriage in 2003, but that was a whoopsie-daisy pregnancy, and my boyfriend at the time and I were IN NO WAY trying for a baby. So, why is my doc. so willing to put me on clomid? I do have PCOS, and I will be having surgery to remove a septum in my uterus later this month.

HI again MCBEE. I did answer this question in another post you wrote, but I didn't know that you had PCOS. That could definitley be the reason why you're doc is putting you on clomid. Lots of women with PCOS don't ovulate on their own, and have irregular cycles, so they are prescribed clomid. Good luck and hope everything works out:)

PCOS is probably why. I have PCOS and do not ovulate on my own. But with a minimum dose of clomid I have concieve 4 singletons. GL!

Yes, but what about the fact that I've been pregnant twice. Obviously, I do ovulate on my own, right?

You've also m/c twice. Clomid is also often prescribed to treat a luteal phase defect. This could be your doc's thinking and why it was prescribed to you. If you're unsure about why you're being given the clomid, ask your doc. He/she will explain their thinking to you.

For sure if you do not feel totally comfortable, you should not take any medication prescribed or not. However, Your doc probably has a reason. Even with your PCOS clomid does increase the chances of multiples. There are other meds available to help you get a regular ovulation cycle with your PCOS. Good luck!!
