Are There Any Side Effects Of Taking Clomid For Conception?

I am 31 yrs old,66kg, and i am trying to conceive, my Gyno gave me clomid to take for 5days but nothing happened.

Now he gave me Duphaston 10mg to take for 10days,then after he will give clomid but this time he said he will double the dosage(Clomid).

I am worried coz I've heard that clomid might lead to triplets or twins is it true?

Hi, it's true that clomid can lead to twin or triplets but the risk is not very high, around 6 to 7 percent. You can track your follicles growth by repeated ultrasound. If you have only one dominant follicle, then chance of twins is that of a normal pregnancy. When follicles reach a size more than 17 mm, take injection for rupturing the follicles. Be in contact with your husband for next 2 to 3 days after your injection. Take progesterone for next 2 weeks. Do a urine pregnancy test at home after that. Hope I have answered your question. If you have any other query I will be happy to help.
