my bf had a twin brother who sadly died.what chances do i have of getting twins when we decide to have babies?

Question

they were identical does that change anythin.he also has two sets of twin uncles

Answer 1

You can try this! Worked for this woman!
P.S. Might work even if twins don't run in your families. :-D

Answer 2

You have the same chances as if you were married to someone without a twin.

Identical twins are created when the egg splits and ta-dah you end up with two kids. Non-identical twins are created when you release two eggs at once. Neither of these has anything to do with him---and everything to do with you.

So if you come from a family of non-identical twins then you could be more likely to have twins because women in your family release two eggs at once.

Answer 3

Your boyfriend's history doesn't affect your chances of having twins. Your chances of having fraternal twins increases if your mother or grandmother had fraternal twins. The occurence of identical twins isn't influenced by your genetics, except that the chance of identical twins for causasians is 1 in 90. Twins are rarer for African Americans, and rarest for Asians.

Answer 4

Honestly it has nothing to do with him. It is your egg that splits in two for identical twins and 2 of your eggs get fertilized for fraternal twins.

Answer 5

you have very high chances of having twins!! If twins run in your family, your chances are even higher!! If you don't have twins, then your children are at a higher risk for having twins because twins can skip a generation!!

Answer 6

none, since it has nothing to do with the male. Only chances of you having twins are if they run in your family.

Answer 7

Depends on what kind of twins...identical yes, fraternal no.....if you release two eggs that is your genes.

Answer 8

A male does not pass that on. It is only hereditary on the woman's side.
