Any luck with clomid?!

Question

Hey ladies. I have PCOS and my Husband and I have been TTC since January. My ob said if we hadn't had any luck in 6 months (SO and I decided on giving it a shot for 1 year) that we would "re-evaluate". I've been on 500mg Metformin twice daily, with folic and prenatals since January. The reevaluation is to try adding in Clomid. I'm terrified. Mostly because of the chance of multiples. I know that makes me sound a bit crazy, but it's scary to think that we could go from being the cool aunt and uncle to parents of multiple babies!  But I wanna be a mommy so bad I think I'm ready to give it a shot. Has anyone had any success and or multiple babies?!  I'd love to hear your stories!

Answer

My husband and I were ttc for three years before I had my son. We changed docs because my first one wasn't very knowledgeable about PCOS. New doc put me on Clomid and it worked during the second cycle 😊 Had a relatively easy pregnancy and delivered a healthy baby boy! He is now two years old and perfectly happy and healthy 😍😍 good luck on your journey!!

Answer

Tried clomid for two years in 6 month on 6 months off of it. Never once worked for me. I never ovulated. The only thing that helps me ovulate is injecting gonal f. Even then I'm injecting for around 9 weeks to grow one single follicule x

Answer

My first pregnancy was my 3rd round of Clomid, had a healthy single baby.  We are currently trying for number two and I am on my first round of Clomid again.  I totally get the fear about multiples, but it only increased your chance to about 9% for women who naturally ovulate.  I doubt it is higher than that for women with PCOS.

Answer

Can someone explain to me what clomid is? I've seen a lot of post about it.

Answer

I got diagnosed with PCOS at the beginning of the month. I am on my third week of Metformin and my doctor mentioned clomid if this doesn't work. The chance of multiples scares me. I am a twin, have twin cousins and twin aunt and uncle. And for shits and giggles my husband is a twin and so is his grandmother. None stop jokes from people about us having multiples.

Answer

I was just going to ask about this... someone terrified me and told me you're more likely to have multiples with clomid and pcos but typically it's about 1 in 10
