Basically the chances of twins is about 3% or 1 in 33. The chance of having 'natural' fraternal twins is only about 1.7% or 1 in 60. The chance of having identical twins has remained steady, and is about 0.4% or 1 in 250.
The chances of having twins with the use of fertility treatments can be as high as 20 to 25%.
Common factors that increase the chances of conceiving twins.
* Fertility Drugs: Taking fertility drugs or undergoing fertility treatments can significantly increase your chances of having twins or another type of multiple birth. In some cases, it can increase your chances of having twins by more than 20%.
* Age: Your chances of having twins increases as you grow older. The chance of having twins rises to 4% between the ages of 30 and 34, and to 5% between the ages of 35 and 39.
* Family History: Having a maternal history of twins or other multiple births increases your chance of becoming pregnant with twins considerably.
* Cultural Background: People of African American descent are more likely to have twins or multiple births. People of Asian or Hispanic descent are less likely to have twins.
* Previous Pregnancies: Women who have had four or more previous pregnancies are the most likely to have twins
Good luck

you gotta be kidding. you can't determine how many kids you have at one time or what the sex will be. only god decides that. you get what you get and there's no way to change it.
