I

have been trying to conceive with my fiance of two years for almost 18

months now! I have unknown infertility problems. I just finished up my

first time use of Clomid! I have not had any side effects from it and I

am now ovulating. Today is cd 14 and I am ovulating...this is normal

for me. I get my period every 28 days and most time ovulate on day 13

or 14, usually 14. 

Is there anything that you can recommend for me to do while ovulating?

The

doctor is thinking of increasing my dose of Clomid from 100mgs to

150mgs if this cycle is not sucessful...does the higher the dose

produce more eggs?

Also I read somewhere that the higher the dose of Clomid you are on the higher your chances are for twins or multiples.

I

was told that since I do not have a family or personal history of twins

that my chance is around 10%...but will that 10% increase if my dosage

of Clomid increases.

 I don't care if I have

triplets (as long as all the babies and myself stay healthy), I just

want to prepare myself for that chance. Also, I have two other children

to previous partners, ages three years old and seven years old.

My

partner has two kids to previous partners and they are ages 12 and 8,

we just can NOT seem to even get pregnant to one another.

I heard that prior births could cause twins to occur whie using Clomid. Is that true?

Sorry

for the million questions, today is Sunday, so my doctor is NOT open or

I would call. My doctor is NOT monitoring me except for me to come in

on cd 22 for and altrosound to see if I am pregnant. Thanks for ANY

answers you can give me.
