Are there twins anywhere else in your family? Look at your parents. The maternal parents (your parents) are the side you inherit fraternal twins from and the paternal (your husband's parents) are the side you that can inherit identical twins from. It usually skips a generation, but if it doesn't you have more of a chance.
Your chances are also higher since you've already carried twins.
"+ Heredity: If twins run in your family, you're more likely to have a set yourself. Your partner's family history doesn't appear to affect your odds of having twins.
+ Age: The older you are, the higher your chances of having fraternal twins or higher multiples. Some studies indicate that this may be due to the fact that older women tend to produce higher levels of ovulation-stimulating hormones, but other studies do not support the connection.
+ Race: Twins are more common than average in African Americans and less common in Hispanics and Asians.
+ Nutrition: Being well nourished increases your chances of having twins and being mal-nourished decreases your chances.
+ Number of pregnancies: The more pregnancies you've had, the greater your chances of having twins. In fact, by your fourth or fifth pregnancy, your likelihood of having twins is four times higher than it was for your first pregnancy.
+ History of twins: Once you have a set of fraternal twins, you're twice as likely to have another set in future pregnancies."

I had a twin brother. Your chances of having another twins might be slim, but there is still hope because your family is genetically capable of having twins. good luck!
