Doctors’ responses
Taking clomifene to conceive twins is a common question, but it’s important to be cautious and follow your doctor’s instructions. Clomifene is typically prescribed to stimulate ovulation, and higher doses may increase your chances of having twins, but this also raises the risk of potential side effects and complications such as ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) or multiple pregnancies beyond twins. It’s generally recommended to start clomifene on the 5th day of your cycle, and most often, the prescribed dose is one tablet per day. Starting on the 7th day and deciding to increase the dosage to two tablets without medical oversight isn’t advisable. The effects of starting clomifene late or at a higher dose than recommended can vary and potentially decrease its effectiveness or increase risks. If you’re considering altering the dose, I advise discussing this with your healthcare provider first. They can provide personalized guidance considering your overall health and reproductive goals. Safety should be your top priority. Also, it’s worth noting that while clomifene can increase the likelihood of twins slightly due to the release of more than one egg, there’s no guaranteed method to conceive twins, and individual responses to medication can vary. It’s essential to adhere to a treatment plan tailored to your situation to ensure the best outcomes both for your health and potential pregnancy.
