We put in two embryos so the chances were pretty high. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-multiples-a-question#post-1482382 Sun, 09 Mar 2014 21:36:06 +0000 Mrs. Blue 1482382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CupQuakeWalk: I think there are phases where you think twins are nearly impossible, like the first 3 month and probably other phases along the way, but I honestly think it's just the eat thing ever,! Yeah, it's twice the work, cost, etc, but you get twice the gummy grins, twice the giggles, twice the hugs, etc. I was seriously terrified my whole pregnancy of parenting twins, but I shouldn't have been. All that to say, if you do end up with twins, just know that most twin parents thinks the good far, far outweighs the bad! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-multiples-a-question#post-1482105 Sun, 09 Mar 2014 19:50:08 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1482105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Blue: I actually toy with the idea of twins with fondness sometimes :) But, my OB has twins (they're like 10 now) and she said "I wouldn't wish twins on anyone". I was like WHAT?!? She didn't mean it in a bad way I guess; she just meant it was tough? But anyway, she was on Clomid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-multiples-a-question#post-1482032 Sun, 09 Mar 2014 19:03:03 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1482032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a friend that was Successfuul qith clomid and I don't believe had monitoring. She ended up with just a single. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-multiples-a-question#post-1482025 Sun, 09 Mar 2014 18:53:48 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1482025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CupQuakeWalk: I had a good chance of twins last cycle. </p> <p>We had a 20% chance of twins with clomid and there were two cycles that I had 2 follicles. The cycle I got pregnant both eggs released, but we are having a singleton. </p> <p>I was told cycles would be cancelled if we had more than 2 follicles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-multiples-a-question#post-1482007 Sun, 09 Mar 2014 18:36:42 +0000 Mrs. Train 1482007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No treatments, just a crazy coincidence. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-multiples-a-question#post-1481960 Sun, 09 Mar 2014 17:39:51 +0000 Mrs. Blue 1481960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No treatments here.

We were given a 40% chance of multiples with 1 embryo placed, and we had a BFN with that round. We were given a 60% chance with two, and we went ahead and took that gamble for our FET. That gave us our twins :-) GL! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-multiples-a-question#post-1481124 Sat, 08 Mar 2014 21:52:36 +0000 littlek 1481124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CupQuakeWalk: @sandy: I can't wait we get our :bfp: :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-multiples-a-question#post-1480949 Sat, 08 Mar 2014 19:38:54 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1480949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Trailmix: @meganmp: thank you ladies!<br /> @twodoghouse:4?!

We chose to transfer two embryos, so we knew that our odds increased a lot, of course. I agree that monitoring while on Clomid will give you a more accurate picture of whether multiples are likely. I only did monitoring on my last cycle of Clomid (50mg) because I started with an Re after already taking Clomid (prescribed by OB) that cycle. It turns out I ovulated 4 eggs that month, so it's probably a good thing it didn't work out for us then, haha. (I have suspected endo, fwiw). Good luck this cycle! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-multiples-a-question#post-1480850 Sat, 08 Mar 2014 18:24:54 +0000 meganmp 1480850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CupQuakeWalk: I have twins! I did IVF, which didn't work, and an FET, which did.

I'm kind of pissed bc all the back and forth with the nurse (she couldn't understand that I had a whacked out 15 day cycle and kept rechecking my chart)...anyway it was a few days too late to start this cycle (he wants me to start taking it CD 5). So I'll start next cycle </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-multiples-a-question#post-1480842 Sat, 08 Mar 2014 18:13:18 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1480842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: this is actually my last cycle without monitoring because I am now with my RE but I wasn't with him at the beginning of my cycle when my OB prescribed it.</p> <p>Any other moms of multiples? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-multiples-a-question#post-1480841 Sat, 08 Mar 2014 18:13:07 +0000 Shutterbug 1480841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agree with spaniellove that if you're being monitored they can give you more accurate odds depending on your number of mature follicles. You could also consider Femara (Letrozole) which is another oral med but with a lower multiples risk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-multiples-a-question#post-1480840 Sat, 08 Mar 2014 18:12:27 +0000 littlek 1480840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sandy: are you on clomid this cycle? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-multiples-a-question#post-1480836 Sat, 08 Mar 2014 18:07:31 +0000 sandy 1480836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CupQuakeWalk: no advice but I'm having the same thoughts and kind of freaking out...

If you feel strongly about not having multiples you should make sure your dr knows so your dosage can be adjusted to the point that you're not producing multiple follicles or can at least get some sense of what is going on...like whether you're working with 2 follicles or 5! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-multiples-a-question#post-1480801 Sat, 08 Mar 2014 17:27:56 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1480801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you have any fertility intervention? If so, what was it? Clomid? What dose? Ivf?<br /> My ob's words, "10% chance of multiples on Clomid cycles.." are in my head and freaking me out.<br /> Don't get me wrong, I'd LOVE twins all the same, but ideally just one will be plenty ;) </p>
