Triplet pregnancy in a subfertile woman treated with clomiphene citrate.
A 26-year-old subfertile woman with a history of abortions at the 7-9th week was treated with Clomid, 50 mg for 5 days. A pregnancy resulted, which ended in the premature birth of a set of alive triplets that sex and blood-group determinations showed to be trizgotic. It is suggested that this production of a multiple ovulation in a woman with luteal deficiency be the result of excessive dosage of Clomid.
