AboutElayne Glantzberg Expertise I can answer questions on PCOS, Clomid, spontaneous reduction, preterm labor, severe prematurity, micropreemies, NICU, how to raise triplets without outside help, life with triplets and more, cerebral palsy, visual impairments, Asperger's/autism, and breastfeeding.
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.
I've never had twins but I am 33 weeks PG from one cycle on Clomid. From what I've heard getting PG from one cycle is pretty common.

I believe a person has a 10% chance of multiples with the use of clomid. On the first dose (50mg) it's a 4% chance. Twins can be a handful and keep a person very busy at times, but it's very rewarding. As a mother of 11 mo old twins I'd like to say that I wouldn't have it any other way. The first couple of months are a blur and we were very sleep deprived, but once they started sleeping through the nights it got a lot better. Another misconception I think people have is that it gets more difficult once they start crawling. I don't see how this is true. Once we baby proofed the house it didn't matter so much what they got into. At least now they could get toys and places they wanted instead of crying because they were bored after 10 min.
