Question
is it possible to get pregnant with twins for the first time using clomid (50mg)? if not please tell me the dose that will help me to concieved twins.
thank you.
It is possible to get pregnant with multiples on any dose of Clomid. The risks are generally thought to be 15% for twins, and 5% for triplets or higher. When you start to increase the dosage, you also increase the risk for ovarian hyperstimulation, which can lead to extreme high-order multiples.

Experience
I have bgg triplets born in 1999 and three more boys born in 2002, 2006, and 2008, the last two by VBA2C (vaginal birth after 2 cesareans). My triplets were born at 26 weeks. My singletons were all full-term and fully breastfed. We have raised our triplets with no help and with a blind father. One of our triplets is also disabled with mild CP and mild autism, two have some vision problems, and one has had lung issues since birth.
