PCOS doesn’t increase multiple pregnancy or multiple ovulations; however, coming off of birth control pills and having your ovary go back to work can result in a hyperstimulation of your ovaries or double ovulation so coming off of the pill, whether you have PCOS or not can increase the incidence of twins. Also, patients with PCOS are usually given fertility meds to help them conceive; fertility meds such as Clomid can increase your risk of multiple ovulation or twins.
