Can you still have twins without having them run in your family?

doubtful
Yes, only fraternal twinning (caused by releasing more than one egg) has a genetic connection, and that connection only holds on the mother's side. So, many twins are born with no family history of twins at all.

How can you improve the chances of having twins?
There are two primary types of twins, Identical and Fraternal. Identical twins occur when the egg splits after fertilization. To date no indication of a genetic link has been found. Anyone has a chance, though small, of having identical twins. Fraternal twins occur when more than one egg is dropped during ovulation. This trait can be inherited from the mother's side of the family. Studies have shown that the chances are also increased by being overweight or older.

If you are a twin what are the chances you will have twins too?
It depends on what has caused the twins in your family. Having identical twins is a random event, and so there is no genetic or inheritable cause for that. So if there are identical twins in your family, then you are no more likely than anyone else to have twins. If, however, you have non-identical twins in your family, then this could be due to hyperovulation, which can be inherited. This is when a woman is more likely to release multiple eggs during her ovulation cycle, and so a man inheriting this gene will not affect his own chance of having twins. It could effect a woman's chances, but it's still not a sure thing.

What are some ways to increase chances of having twins?
Oh yes it does! I never dreamt I would become pregnant with twins. There are no twins in my side of the family. None that I know of. However, at my baby shower, I found out from my boyfriend's family that there were at least 4 sets of twins in his family; his grandmother had twins, his grand aunt had 2 sets of twins and his cousin had twins. It's amazing how science doesn't know everything because my high school friend had fraternal twins and when she found out I was having identical twins she told me that that wasn't hereditary, but obviously it is after learning my boyfriend's family's history.

If my husband is twin what is my chances of having twins if there are no twins on my side of the family?
Yes, twins have more likelihood of having twins than other people who are not twins. >>> This is only true if it is the female who is a twin. Since twinning is caused by either a) ovulating more than one egg at a time (fraternal twins) or b) having the egg separate completely during mitosis (identical twins), it doesn't make any difference whether or not the male partner is a twin. It all has to do with the ova; therefore, only the female's family history of twins matters.

What side of the family does twins come from?
There really isn't a 'gene' for twins. However, fraternal twins are the result of a woman releasing two eggs at a time. This trait can run in the womens side of the family so there is more chance her daughters will release 2 eggs at a time. To date there is no indication that identical twins have any genetic markers. All women have a chance of having their eggs split and having identical twins.
