Twins
Last day of Clomid, still no side-effects. I’m either just lucky or… really unlucky.
Some interesting statistics on twins.
Among general populations, the chances of having twins in the 21st century are about 3 in 100, or about 3%.
Some estimate that the chances of having twins after fertility enhancing treatment is as high as 1 in 38. Others estimate that using the drug Clomid increases your chances to 1 in 5.
** Okay, this one makes me go “huh?” Since the average of having twins across the board is 1 in 100 or 3%, but 1 in 38 is lower at 2.6%. Nice.
The rate for identical, or monozygotic, multiples is random and universal … The chances of having identical twins is about 1 in 285.
Fun stuff. It’s a bit daunting to think that our chance of having twins could be pretty high.
