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.
