I'm excited to be able to participate again. I popped into the 6+ month TTC board and it seems so much more intense!<br /> @bluestriped bee: That's great! I'm so happy something worked for you! Twins would absolutely be a struggle, but totally worth it. DH has twin sisters so I think my MIL might be able to offer some helpful advice. She had 4 under 5... eekk! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/multiples-with-femara-or-clomid#post-2425646 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 10:23:20 +0000 BSB 2425646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was on Femera for all of my 6 IUI cycles but unfortunately they all were unsuccessful. IVF ended up working for me and I did end up having twins. I did always wanted twins so the risk of multiples while on Femera didn't bother me. I would have been happy with one baby but a little part of me wished for twins. My twins are 4 months and some days are hard but I love being a twin mom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/multiples-with-femara-or-clomid#post-2425531 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 09:14:04 +0000 starlitsky 2425531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@WinterBee: ah the twin gene is maternal? Good to know! </p> <p>Good luck with Letrozole! I was diagnosed with PCOS too and was able to get pregnant on my first cycle with Clomid. :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/multiples-with-femara-or-clomid#post-2425354 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 22:39:17 +0000 TrailRunner 2425354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@WinterBee: I had a feeling something like that was happening since your cycles were so long and wonky. I'm really hoping that this is it for you! Good for you for getting this addressed and getting started on a plan. Make sure to keep updating so I can keep stalking you. :silly: :heart: :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/multiples-with-femara-or-clomid#post-2425331 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 22:08:35 +0000 LAZB 2425331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Truth Bombs: I'm planning on doing clomid for my third pregnancy, I really just want one again though! Twins would be a shock! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/multiples-with-femara-or-clomid#post-2425327 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 22:03:36 +0000 Truth Bombs 2425327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a friend who has had three clinic pregnancies. The first two were singletons but now she's expecting twins. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/multiples-with-femara-or-clomid#post-2425301 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 21:38:40 +0000 NCSUchick27 2425301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@WinterBee: I know! It was incredible. She never even had to go on bed rest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/multiples-with-femara-or-clomid#post-2425298 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 21:37:11 +0000 WinterBee 2425298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NCSUchick27: 3 babies to 37 weeks?! Incredible!<br /> @Hoots: @travellingbee: Congrats!!</p> <p>@skipra: Whoa! That's a lot of twins!<br /> @LAZB: Great news!<br /> @MOMTOLITTLEB: That sounds likely. I have one set of twins on my dad side, but they're 2nd or 3rd cousins...<br /> @starlitsky: DH has twins too, but since the 'twin' gene is maternal it makes sense. Congrats on your baby!<br /> @TrailRunner: Good! It was an emotional couple months, but after a few doctors appointments I was diagnosed with PCOS and told I don't ovulate on my own. I was upset at first, but so happy to be progressing forward. This will be our first cycle with letrozole, I'm super excited, but also nervous!</p> <p>Thank you to everyone who responded, I LOVE all the happy endings! (beautiful babies!) It gives me hope. :happy: :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/multiples-with-femara-or-clomid#post-2425224 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 21:01:32 +0000 TrailRunner 2425224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@WinterBee: I'm good thank you for asking! How have you been? I've been stalking the poas boards watching your updates. I'm so ready for it to be your turn!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/multiples-with-femara-or-clomid#post-2425209 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 20:56:29 +0000 starlitsky 2425209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took Clomid and got pregnant with just one. :happy: My DH has twins in his family so I thought maybe, but nope! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/multiples-with-femara-or-clomid#post-2425188 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 20:46:41 +0000 MOMTOLITTLEB 2425188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know someone who had twins after taking Clomid however she has a lot of twins in the family so the Clomid might have just pushed it along. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/multiples-with-femara-or-clomid#post-2425112 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 20:20:37 +0000 LAZB 2425112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've actually never known anyone to have multiples using clomid or femara, except for one friend that had triplets using femara.<br /> I have had two singleton pregnancies using clomid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/multiples-with-femara-or-clomid#post-2425051 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 19:46:24 +0000 skipra 2425051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have any personal experience but I used to be part of a local board and almost every single woman who conceived with Clomid had twins. It was crazy but I am pretty sure that is not the norm! Good luck and I hope the new protocol is successful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/multiples-with-femara-or-clomid#post-2425029 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 19:30:55 +0000 travellingbee 2425029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was on clomid- first cycle IUI with 4 mature follicles and none took. 2nd cycle with 3 mature follicles and only one took- that is my son. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/multiples-with-femara-or-clomid#post-2425015 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 19:20:31 +0000 Hoots 2425015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a clomid singleton, but two people DH works with had twins with clomid. Both sets were girls. My RE said she's only had clomid triplets three times and she's been practicing for about twenty-five years. I remember telling her I'd prefer not to be number four. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/multiples-with-femara-or-clomid#post-2425014 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 19:19:01 +0000 NCSUchick27 2425014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have any personal experience, but I have a friend that got pregnant with triplets while on Clomid. I do not know what dosage she was on. The triplets (2 girls and 1 boy) were born at 37 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/multiples-with-femara-or-clomid#post-2425005 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 19:07:26 +0000 WinterBee 2425005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DesertDreams88: Exactly!! I will take 2 over 0 any day!<br /> @TrailRunner: Thank you!!! I got excited when I saw your msg! How are you doing? Seems like a lifetime ago we were on the POAS boards together! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/multiples-with-femara-or-clomid#post-2424949 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 17:32:38 +0000 TrailRunner 2424949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No experience just wanted to say good luck!! :goodluck: :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/multiples-with-femara-or-clomid#post-2424943 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 17:19:26 +0000 DesertDreams88 2424943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Clomid singleton here. I can't remember the exact stats but I know the chances of multiple was less than 10%. And I'd rather have twins than no children at all, so.... clomid for the win, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/multiples-with-femara-or-clomid#post-2424930 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 17:03:00 +0000 WinterBee 2424930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HellOnHeels: Congrats! I'm starting on 2.5mg. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/multiples-with-femara-or-clomid#post-2424927 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 17:01:41 +0000 HellOnHeels 2424927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took 5mg of letrozole per day for 5 days and now 9 weeks with a singleton. Twins also run rampid in my family but didn't happen this time for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/multiples-with-femara-or-clomid#post-2424926 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 17:01:41 +0000 WinterBee 2424926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BananaPancakes: Ohhhh a boy and a girl would be lovely!<br /> Congrats to her!<br /> Our doctor said letrozole has less chance of multiples than clomid does, but I'm still curious. I'm terrified of twins! haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/multiples-with-femara-or-clomid#post-2424920 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 16:51:31 +0000 BananaPancakes 2424920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A close friend is 20 weeks with a boy and girl after exactly one 25ml dose of Clomid. But my SIL was on 100mg for 2 years and just had a single pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/multiples-with-femara-or-clomid#post-2424919 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 16:46:47 +0000 WinterBee 2424919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Title sums it up.<br /> Did anyone end up having a multiples pregnancy after taking clomid or femara? Do twins run in your family? Or do you think it was a result of the drugs?</p> <p>I'm starting letrozole this week and I've been thinking about it for the past couple days. Hoping to hear some experiences.</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
