Hopefully this is a teenager playing a joke. I certainly hope an adult would not be serious about this question. If you "want" multiples, the best thing (and safest) I can tell you is to pray.
IVF, fertility drugs, etc. are the ways in which people can have multiples. And even with those nothing is guaranteed. The ONLY reason these types of treatments would be used is if you are UNABLE to conceive any other way. No doctor is going to prescribe these methods for a healthy woman who is able to bear children the natural way.
There are many side effects to these procedures and they are COSTLY. Do not mess with the seriousness of this topic.

One way is to select the future father of your babies based on whether or not twins run in his family (I think the gene comes from the father's side).
If you're already set on the father, then the only other way is to pursue fertility treatments. Drugs like clomiphene increase the chances of multiple eggs released from the ovaries at once. And with IVF, you can choose to have multiple eggs implanted in your uterus. But if you don't have an actual infertility problem and you just want multiples, then you might have a hard time finding a doctor who will do this.

I don't think you really would like that. You increase the chance of complications during the pregnancy and might have to spend the last half of it in bed. It also increases the risk for complications in the children because they might have low birth weights. Also after the kids are born the need to take care of multiple infants simultaneously is almost too much to handle without a lot of family members helping you.

um you shouldn't force yourself to have multiples... Fertility drugs are for people who have a harder time having children do to reproductive problems. The only natural suggestion is to wait until you are in your 30's because your chance of having twins etc. is higher.

Using fertility drugs. This is not really a good idea to try and have multiples. It can be hard on you and the babies could be born too early and cause medical problems for them.

IVF can give you twins or more! But I think you have to have some kind of diagnosed fertility problem to go that route Not very safe having multiples, my advice is stick to one, trust me, one is PLENTY..... :)

I really don't think you have any control over it. I heard it runs in the family , and usually skips a generation. but i really don't think you can take anything for you to have twins or more.
