Clomid (clomiphene) Common: Couples are starting later and later in life to conceive. So Clomid (clomiphene) use is becoming more and more common. I have yet to deliver an unhealthy Clomid (clomiphene) baby. The pregnancy progresses normally and a normal deliver results.

Yes: Clomid (clomiphene) is a commonly-used fertility medication and many healthy babies are born after Clomid (clomiphene) treatment. There is a risk of twins, about 5-10% - the risk of triplets is low, less than 1%. Anyone having a child has a 2-3% chance of a birth defect found at birth, and another 2% chance of a defect found in baby's first year - about a 5% chance overall, including major and minor birth defects.
