conceiving twins - any 'methods' work?

Question

eg, eating casova yams? lol, cant hurt to try?!

Answer 1

Wait until your 35-40 then you'll have a better chance since your eggs will be weaker and have a better chance of splitting. As for any methods if it doesn't run in your family I don't think there is anything you can do to concieve twins. Sorry :(

Answer 2

Increasing Your Chances of Having Twins
So, are there any proven methods to increase your chances of having twins? Well, there are a number of ways that you can go about trying to have twins, but, as with anything, there are no guarantees. Having twins is mostly down to luck, although there are a few things you can do to help Lady Luck along.

Focus on Nutrition
Women who are well nourished are more likely to have twins or multiple births. So focus on eating well and eating enough to maintain a healthy weight.

Eat Yams
Yams, a type of sweet potato, have also been linked with multiple births. A tribe in Africa whose diet consists mostly of yams was recently found to have exceptionally high rates of twins and multiple births. Yams are thought to contain chemicals that stimulate hyperovulation, increasing your chances of conceiving twins.

Try Fertility Drugs
Though not recommended unless you are suffering from fertility issues, fertility drugs do seem to greatly increase your chances of having twins. The fertility drug clomiphene (Clomid) increases your likelihood to 8%, while menotropins (Pergonal) increases your likelihood to 18%. Fertility drugs do cause side effects though and should never be taken without the supervision of a medical doctor.

Try Fertility Treatments
Fertility treatments are also associated with higher rates of multiple births. In-vitro fertilization involves implanting more than one embryo into your uterus, which means your are more likely to conceive twins or higher-order multiples. Like fertility drugs, fertility treatments should not be undergone without approval from a medical doctor and are usually reserved for couples who are having difficulties conceiving.

Answer 3

Why would you wish twins on yourself?! yeah they'll be very cute, but put that aside why would ya wanna put ur body through that extra risk? im on clomid which increases my chance of having twins by 10% and when my face lit up my doctor told me that it wasnt a good thing...and now i can see where he is coming from. as for having sex in certain positions or eating specific foods, i dont think there is such a thing. good luck anyway x

Answer 4

the prescirption drug Clomide can cause multiples. But your dr only prescribes this if your having trouble getting pregnant. And its genetics m hubby is a twin and my mom is a twin i wonder my chances ...?

Answer 5

IVF and old age and genetics. But IVF can result in triplets and quadruplets and sextuplets/.....would you really take the risk? And whats so special about twins, Its hard enough carrying one baby, i cant imagine carrying two....scary

Answer 6

Go out for a meal with friends, get drunk and lose track of your dates.......worked for me LOL
