Higher Clomid dosages increase the chance of twins. Studies show a twin pregnancy rate of around 5-10% with 50mg of Clomid daily. Increasing the dose to 100mg daily can raise this rate to 7-12%, though this also significantly increases the risk of higher-order multiples (triplets or more).
The exact increase depends on several individual factors including age, ovarian reserve, and response to the medication. It’s crucial to remember that higher doses also correlate with a greater risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), a potentially serious complication.
Your doctor will carefully monitor your response to Clomid and adjust your dosage accordingly. They’ll consider your medical history and individual needs to find the lowest effective dose to maximize your chances of a healthy pregnancy while minimizing risks. Open communication with your physician is paramount to making informed decisions.
The decision to pursue Clomid treatment, especially at higher dosages, involves a careful weighing of potential benefits and risks. It’s a personal decision that should be made in consultation with a fertility specialist. They can help you understand the probabilities and potential consequences of different Clomid doses.
