I will absolutly be greatful if I do get pregnant again so please dont think of me the selfish type. But I'm wondering if there is an herb to help my body produce more than one egg at a time. I know that identcal twins is totally random, but is there a way I can increase my chances of concieving fraternal twins?

Fertility drugs can increase your chances of hyperovulation (releasing more than one egg during a menstrual cycle), which can increase your chances of conceiving fratnernal twins. But I wouldn't recommend it (and neither would any good doctor), unless you are actually having problems conceiving. While I love having twins, I had a very difficult pregnancy, my babies were born very prematurely (and one almost didn't make it), and had to stay in the hospital for a month before they could come home. And, all the work that goes into caring for a baby... well, now, double it. In fact, even more so, because then you run into all kinds of things that are unique to having twins (try changing a diaper while the other one is trying to grab the poopy one or take all the wipies out of the case :-p)....

hey, I saw an episode of babies:special delivery where there was a woman the doctor said was going through premature menopause because of some cancer treatments. He suggested some herbal remedies for the discomforts involved. Later he discovered she was pregnant with natural triplets! the two things he had suggested were false unicorn root, and raspberry leaf. I have looked them both up through google searches, and they are both popular in the areas of reproductive health, so maybe try them or do some research that way. Hope this helps!!!

There is no natural way to increase your chances of having two eggs produced and then drop, you would need either your body to just do it for some reason (fluke, advanced age, family history) or to be taking some kind of fertility medication.

1) fertility
2) advanced maternal age
3) the more pregnancies, the higher the risk each time
4) race
5) random chance of producting 2 eggs and both being fertlized, and implanted.

Go to the doc and get on Clomid. It makes you release several eggs at a time. Good luck

i was reading this magazine
it said that women that eat and drink more dairy products are 5 times more likely to have twins.it says it increases levels of a growth hormone that causes increased rates of multiple ovulation

Without hormone therapy, not really.
