Hi all. Well I couldn't hold out any longer so at 10 & 11dpo I poas. At 10dpo, it was -, and at 11dpo It wasn't a BFP but it was a definite faint positive. So that it is getting darker is great, I am reserved but excited till I know this is for real. Anyways to add to the story, I decided I would do the "pencil test" today,( the day I kinda got a positive ) over my belly (I have been trying for a boy) to see which way it would swing. Well, I am not superst_tious at all but for all the times I have done the pencil test on different women including myself it has never done this. It started to swing a little but immediately started going in a circle, twice it did this. Well, I thought how funny till I remembered someone telling me that when it makes a circle it means you are carrying twins. Well, ONLY time can tell. So, I am excited and thought I would share my update. I plan on testing Friday again and probably once more. If it is still getting darker, I will make my first OB appointment. Take care all, and baby dust to us all. MMOT2002

Hi ladies! Well, I'm posting on here for the first time. Let me start by saying, I LOVE YOU ALL!!!! You're all so supportive and motivating- I feel like I know you all! So, with that, I'd like to share my story. I want to have twins, my first children. I'm 30 and the DH is 34. Well, I decided that I would let my MD know that I wasn't O'ing (i have no idea if this was true or not) so she started testing me to get me ready for Clomid. Low and behold- I have PCOS (didn't see that coming!!!) So, I'm on 1500mg of Metformin, plus will begin my first cycle of Clomid (100mg) next month. She prescribed 5-9, but due to my research on this site, I'm going to take it 3-8 instead. I was clear with my MD that I wanted to be agressive about getting pregnant, and that multiples were A-OK!!! I'm also taking 800mg of Folic Acid, epsom salt baths 3x weekly (don't ask, but I read it on another site somewhere), plus 81mg of aspirin. So, TWIN baby dust to all, and a pinch over me, too! Hope to hear more from you all!!!

Yas200 and mmot2002 congrats on your BFP!!! That's great. Lauren congrats on your growing boy. I wanted to say I'm sorry when I was reading back when I wrote to Kim I meant to say how are your two babies doing. It sounded insensitive so I apologize. As for me now on cycle 3 and OPK was + yesterday so think I am O today. then the great 2ww. Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas.

Well, I'm guessing that because of the holidays, this site is a bit slow! Anyhow, I'm here to post!!! So, today was my first OPK+!!! For three months I haven't been able to get a second line, but today, thanks to the Metformin, I did it! The problem, though, is that I'm having a lot of pain in my ovary, so I'm wondering if the follicle is going to release or not! Any thoughts? Next month I start the Clomid plus the u/s, so I'll actually know!
Happy holidays, all!

My 1st post here.... I was doing a google search on clomid and this site came up. I read the entire thread. Does anyone know what the normal link to this is becasue I found it via www.pregnancy-info.net
I feel like I have finally found somewhere where people won't be shocked if I say I would LOVE twins!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm cd4 today - took 100mg clomid starting at cd2.
I look forward to getting to know you all.
Maggie

Maggie welcome! This site has been really slow since the holidays. If you click on the Twins and multiple birth it will bring you to other questions about multiples or those who want them and if you click on the Q&A it will take you to other forums like 1st trimester or b___stfeeding ect. HTH

Yes clomid does increase your chances of multiples. I naturally concieved twins 2 years ago, since doing so my hormones are completely stuffed and we are going for our third....my ob/gyn will only give me clomid as a last resort and only 25 mg a day...that is the highest risk....but I am lucky I have been using metformin and my cycles have started again and I am having a blood test today to see if I am preg. Good luck to you, but just remember the thought of twins is nice but the reality is they are a hell of a lot of hard work and money! (they are worth it though)
