Absolutely it does. Normally, in each cycle you only ovulate from one ovary. Clomid stimulates both ovaries to ovulate, which increases the chance of having 2 eggs fertilized... producing fraternal twins. It also increases the risk of developing ovarian cysts.

Yes it does! Your doctor should have gone over alot of this with you when you were discussing your options. Also, another person to ask about side effects and such would be your pharmacist! My pharmacist helped explain in great detail how it works and the examples of people she knows who it worked for, how long it took, etc.
Of course, if you have a history of twins in your immediate family, your chances increase also.
One of my best friends took clomid, along with another list of RX's but she is now pregnant!
good luck, I wish you the best!

It increases the chance from 1% to 2-3% so not by much.

I took clomid and now I am expecting twins so I don't know. It took me the first time on clomid to get pregnant!

It only increases your chances of twins by about 5%, and with multiples only by about 1-2%. I used it to conceive all 3 of my pregnancies and never had twins or multiples.
