How to Increase Chances of Multiple Births on Clomid

Clomiphene, or Clomid, is a fertility medication used to increase a woman's level of estrogen and encourage ovulation. According to the Jones Institute of Reproductive Medicine, taking Clomid increases your chances of multiple births to 10 percent. When you take Clomid, the ovaries are stimulated to produce more than one egg, and if multiple eggs are fertilized and implanted, the result is a multiple birth. You can increase your chances of a multiple birth on Clomid by monitoring egg production through ultrasounds.

Things You'll Need

  • Ultrasound
  • hCG trigger shot

Instructions

    • 1

      Monitor your follicular phase with ultrasounds. Clomid may cause more than one egg to be produced. Monitoring those eggs will allow you to see which follicles are maturing. If you are actively seeking multiple births, wait until more than one egg is matured to induce ovulation.

    • 2

      Use a trigger shot of human chorionic gonadotropin, or hCG, to induce ovulation when you have more than one ripe follicle. This increases the chances of multiple eggs being released instead of one, which is the body's natural rhythm.

    • 3

      Wait until you are over the age of 35 to become pregnant. The high levels of follicle stimulating hormone produced as the body becomes older will increase the chances of more than one egg maturing and being released. This effect is magnified by taking Clomid, which also stimulates the ovaries.
