What is the chance of me having multiples??

Question

Noone in my family has ever had multiples. Except for my cousin.

i dont really care if they are identical or not. I just really would like to have quads. 2 boys and 2 girls!

Answer 1

Chances of twins is about 3%. There are tons of other factors to consider as well. But 3% is the standard chance. Of course, the chances go up if you have a familial history of fraternal (non identical) twins, if you're using fertility drugs, age, race, etc. Best of luck.

Edited to add: whoa, you want quads? Ok the chances of that happening spontaneously are:
Twins
1 in 83 pregnancies

Triplets
1 in 6,889 pregnancies

Quadruplets
1 in 571,787 pregnancies

Quintuplets
1 in 47,458,321 pregnancies

Sextuplets
1 in 3,939,040,643 pregnancies

Septuplets
1 in 3,269,403,733 pregnancies

Careful what you wish for!

Answer 2

Conceiving multiples naturally is about 3-4%. The percentage is much higher for those using fertility drugs or invitro. I visited my husband in Airbourne school. I only saw him for 48 hours. I conceived identical twin girls, naturally. My doctor thought it was neat LOL Twins do not run in my family, but even if they did.... fraternal are hereditary not identical.

Answer 3

The chances increase after 30 because of the hormonal changes.

Answer 4

Fraternal twins are hereditary through the maternal side, anything else is a fluke... so you have the same chance as anyone does as far as identical is concerened!

Answer 5

In your case, almost a gazillion to one.

Answer 6

not a very good chance..

Answer 7

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
