Hi Haha, this is Dr khushboo. Regarding your concern the drug Ikaclomin is given to increase the number and size of the follicles.So in some cases it may lead to 2 dominant follicles in one cycle leading to twin pregnancy. It definitely increases the chance of twins but not more than 6 to 7 %. So it may or may not lead to twin pregnancy. Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions, I will be happy to help.
