So me and my girl are planning on having kids and would like to know how to increase chances of having twins. Were planning on having 5 kids
Fertility drugs increase your chances by more than anything else except genetics.
Im 27 weeks pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl. Im so excited, but i’ve started to worry that my bump is too small. You can tell i’m pregnant but i only look very small and i always thought you are bigger with twins.
Im 5′9 in shape i never had Much fat or anything but i was also more of a large framed girl,
This does not automatically make me fat!
I’ve gained a few pounds but you can’t really tell as because of my height i have always looked alot slimmer than what i actually am. Might this be why i aren’t showing as much with my babies, the doctor hasn’t raised any problems but you can’t help but worry sometimes.
Thank you ^_^
I don’t think there is anything wrong with the size you are; your doctor doesn’t seemed worried about it therefore neither should you. Every woman carries the weight differently, my goodness I wish I were built like you instead of a 5′0 med frame.. all of my weight goes straight to my tummy 
just relax, if everything is okay everywhere else then your size shouldn’t matter.
Im just curious as to what i can do to improve my chances of having twins, is there vitamins or special foods that raise your chances…THanks
An old wife’s tale says that eating sweet potatoes will increase your odds.
Regardless of what you eat, your odds of having identical twins (not hereditary) are 1 in 285.
Fraternal twins occur when two eggs are fertilized. This means the mom releases two eggs instead of one. Therefore the mother’s family history is very relevant and increases your odds if you have fraternal twins on that side.

My fiance’ and I are getting married on October 17. She has an identical twin. So, if my fiance’ and I were to have kids down the line somewhere would we have a better chance than most couples to have identical twins? If this helps, I do not have an identical twin. Anything would help! Thanks!
Well put it this way my husband is a twin my brother’s are twins and my brother and sister are twins . I have triplets and 2 sets of twins so yes it can happen .
My twin brother and I always thought our parents were good people until recently. My brother started dating this amazing african woman a year ago and I’ve never ever seen him so happy. My parents seemed ok with her because she is truly a great person and really is his soul mate. When my brother announced he was going to propose, I was thrilled, but my parents turned on him and begged him to "get out of his jungle fever phase and keep the family white." When he refused, they called his gf, blasted her with racist remarks and tried to convince her to dump my brother. My brother and his fiance tried to confront my parents but they acted like they are doing the right thing. He’s cut them off and I fully support him. My parents are now threathening to disown me for supporting my brother and not siding with them. What should I do? I am so outraged I stopped talking to them too. No racist answer please.
Nope, it’s never okay. They have let you and your brother down severely by this unfounded, disgusting behaviour. I’m sorry you’ve had to go through this. As hard as it may be, your best bet is for you and your brother to stick to your guns, tell your parents you’re disowning *them* until they apologise to all parties concerned and learn to love and support you both the way a parent should.
Familial love should be unconditional. They’re putting their prejudices before their children, which is an atrocious way to behave. Do not give in to them. Tell them in no uncertain terms that you love them but their behaviour is unacceptable and that they won’t be involved in the lives of any of their children or grandchildren until they can reign in their wilful ignorance and be supportive of you, your brother, and his fiance.
I have used Clomid at 50cc or mc..however its administered. I heard that there is another med that is more effective at having twins. I really would like to have them. I also heard eating Yams can help….?? Any truth behind that??
I had twins using 50mg Clomid (boy/girl, they are now 5 years old).
In general, Clomid probably increases your chances of having twins around 5% to 10% (there seems to be a lot of conflicting data). Your individual odds of having twins will depend on how many mature eggs your ovaries actually produce using Clomid. If you normally do not ovulate, and Clomid causes you to ovulate one egg, then your chances of twins have not been increased. However, if Clomid causes you to have several or more eggs, your chances may be higher than the average. You won’t know exactly how many eggs you have in a cycle unless your doctor does a vaginal ultrasound to count the egg-producing follicles that appear on your ovaries.
If you are using artificial insemination (IUI), your chances could be higher of having multiples if you use injectible fertility drugs; but again, your odds completely depend on your individual response to the drugs and the number of eggs you produce.
If you are undergoing IVF, your odds of twins depend on the number of embryos you transfer. If you only transfer one embryo, you haven’t increased your odds of twins, but if you transfer 3, you may have a good chance of having twins (or more) — but there are a lot of factors that affect these odds, such as your age.
As far as wanting twins, they are a special blessing. However, one-at-a-time is really the best way to go. It is not a pleasant moment to see "HIGH RISK PREGNANCY" stamped on your chart, and every multiple pregnancy is high risk. Twins have double the risk of birth defects, and are much more likely to be born prematurely, which can cause lifelong disabilities. Multiple pregnancy is no picnic — you may be put on bedrest and/or hospitalized for a long period.
Here are tips from about.com for ways to increase your chances of twins that do not involve fertility drugs (and yes, eating yams is one of them):
* Eat yams.
There are certain cultures that have more twins than others.
One of these is a tribe where they eat a lot of yams. There is a theory that it is a certain chemical in the yams that helps the women in this culture have more twins.
* Be breastfeeding when you get pregnant.
Recent studies show that if you are breastfeeding when you get pregnant that you are more likely to have twins. This is said to be caused by the depletion of calcium in your system while nursing and its effect on the egg during conception and ovulation.
* Be older when you get pregnant.
The older you are when you get pregnant, the more likely you are to have twins. This may be because of an increased ovulation of multiple eggs, resulting in more dizygotic or fraternal twins.
Good luck to you in conceiving soon!!
On my father’s side, my grandpa was a twin…On my mother’s side, one of her uncles is a twin and one of her aunt’s conceived twins…I will be 35 when I deliver..What are the chances of having twins myself?
i dont know the exact chances, but only fraternal twins are carried on, so make sure they are fraternal. and since you are in your 30s your chances are a bit higher, but not much…
My boyfriend is worried that the mother of his one year old twins can just pack up her stuff and leave the state with her kids. They have been separated for 6 months, but he has been contributing to buying diapers and wipes whenever they are needed by her. And giving her money for the twins. She also lets him have the twins on the weekends. But neither one of them have gone to the court or state regarding getting custody or filing any child support or parenting plans. Can she just up and move to Utah without getting custody in order or a parenting plan done???
The twins has his last name and he signed the affidavit saying he is the father. The hospital lost the actual birth certificates.
Yes she can. Your boyfriend will have to take the matter to court to be granted any rights that the mother might be denying him as a father. But if she’s granted legal custody of the children, then your boyfriend can’t prevent her from moving to another state anyway.
Our family: My mom is a twin, and so is my dad.
My mom has two sets of twins (identical 18yo; me and rebbekkah) (fraternal 23yo: Drew and Amanda)
My mom has a single child also, ashley.
Im having triplets if that has anything to do with it.
Ashley is pregnant and i was wondering what her chances are of having twins?
Identical twin is a mutated in the cells which is not genetics. But non identical twins can sometimes be genetically. (i think) So it depends on what type of twins, identical twins would be very hard to aim for but non identical twins can sometimes be common so he luck can be the same for anyone else.
