Is there anything OTC similar to clomid or femera? I was just curious. Im not by any means trying to upset the women on either medication right now. Im just wondering if there were any OTC meds to try to boost twin chances?

I've read that taking soy isoflavones can work the same way as Clomid. I googled and found this:

That said, I'm not sure how much it would increase your chance of twins though. I think even Clomid only gives you something like a 5% chance of twins. Femara is even less, I believe.

Lol, no problem. While I know twins would be so hard, I think a small part of me would be glad because after I had them we could be DONE.

Why can't someone come up with a meter that tests HCG at home like a blood/sugar meter?!?!

Oh my gosh! I thought I was the only one!! It's gotta be something going on...I've been googling anything and everything that could boost my chances of twins...and haven't found anything!!....basically unless you get like IVF or something then its just luck of the draw...of course if it runs in your family you have a better shot, but that is a big negative for us...

And I was just talking the other day about wishing they had at home b/w kits...lol...we are truly obssessed with TTC
