I'm thinking about ... can I/we handle twins?
I've got a family history of fraternal twins: my brothers, my mom, and her uncles (plus more, I'm sure).
We've *never* used protection since getting married in 2005.
We have one kid.
Doc said we could try clomid ... my cycle history is representative of not producing/releasing an egg. (Taking ovulation test and after showing positive ... it's only a week until my period.) He said the ovulation test only tests for the chemical ... doesn't necessarily mean I'm making eggs.
So ... I don't know if my family history of twins would increase the chances while on Clomid, but the change of multiples is between 10-20% (depending on study). That's already too high!
I had a really hard time with just one baby ... and we have NO family anywhere near us (Kansas City is closest).
So, both DH and I are thinking ... is it worth the try? We want ONE and would never do "selective reduction" ... so, we'd accept whatever we were blessed with. BUT ... I don't know that we could handle it.
Lots to think about.
