Answer 1

Age is a major factor in natural twins. Each year older you get the greater your chances of conceiving twins. So you could wait until you get a littler older.

Answer 2

Historically, about 1 in 80 human births (1.25%) has been the result of a twin pregnancy. The rate of twinning varies greatly among ethnic groups, ranging as high as about 6% for the Yoruba or 10% for a tiny Brazilian village.[2] The widespread use of fertility drugs causing hyperovulation (stimulated release of multiple eggs by the mother) has caused what some call an "epidemic of multiple births". In 2001, for the first time ever in the US, the twinning rate exceeded 3% of all births. Thus, approximately 5.8% of children born in the US in 2001 were twins.

Nevertheless, the rate of identical twins remains at about 1 in 250 across the globe, further suggesting that pregnancies resulting in identical twins occur randomly.

[edit]Predisposing factors
The cause of monozygotic twinning is unknown.
Dizygotic twin pregnancies are slightly more likely when the following factors are present in the woman:
She is of African descent (especially Yoruba)
She is between the age of 30 and 40 years
She is greater than average height and weight
She has had several previous pregnancies.

Women undergoing certain fertility treatments may have a greater chance of dizygotic multiple births. This can vary depending on what types of fertility treatments are used. With in vitro fertilization (IVF), this is primarily due to the insertion of multiple embryos into the uterus. Some other treatments such as the drug Clomid can stimulate a woman to release multiple eggs, allowing the possibility of multiples. Many fertility treatments have no effect on the likelihood of multiple births.
There is also speculation that the West African predisposition to twinning is due to the large amount of yams in their diet. They contain phytoestrogen, which may stimulate the ovaries.

Answer 3

Non-same twins run in households. The 'gene for liberating 2 eggs jointly' is surpassed down by the female line so in case your mom became a twin or absolutely one of your aunts because your granny had twins then you definitely might want to have inherited this trait. same twins are in basic terms right down to a fluke of the egg splitting some days after idea and has not something to do with genetics. it really is random and would take position to everyone even although older women human beings seem to have an more effective chance of having same twins.

Answer 4

Yep

1 in 89 pregnancies results in twins
25% of invitro fertilization results in twins
Women who use clomed often results in twins
Adopting twins results in twins 100% of the time!

Answer 5

Back to the old wife's tales.........
I herd on a pregnancy programme on tv that if you increase your intake of calcium, more milk and produce containing calcium it boosts your hormone levels and increases the changes of multiple births.. how try I don't no....
Good luck.

Answer 6

No. It's just a matter of if you produce more than one egg that month. Just be happy with what you get..
