The incidence of multiple pregnancies with the use of these medications is higher than 25%.The client's concern is legitimate and should be discussed so that she can make an informed decision.Stating that no one has ever had more than triplets with Clomid is inaccurate and negates the client's concerns.Ultrasound cannot ensure that a multiple pregnancy will not occur,and 10% is inaccurate.Furthermore,the client's concern is discredited with a statement such as,"…don't worry."
