There are two types of twin, monozygotic (identical) or dizygotic (fraternal, non-identical) and each type is created in a different way explained below:
1) Monozygotic Twins. These type of twins both com from the same fertilized (zygote) and so have exactly the same genetic make up and will look exaclty like one another. Once the zygote has developed up to a certain point it splits into two, separate zygotes. This is often because the mother has received a mild bump, not enough to be fatal, to the stomach. These two new zygotes will go on to grow and develope as normal although they may well be stunted in size because of the lack of space to grow and because they share the same placenta and to have to compete for nutrition.
2)Dizygotic Twins. These type of twins com from two separate eggs and so are only as similar as any two brother/sister compination. This type of twin occurs when both of the mothers overied are active at the same time and both produce and ovum. The fathers sperm is easily enough to fertalize the two eggs both of which will then implant into the uterus and develope into babies. These type of twins, unlike the ones above, each have their own placentas so the only reason for them to be stunted in size is the lak of space.

If two people are not twins is it possible to conceive twins?
Do you mean can individuals who arent twins conceive twins?Yes they can.Monozygotic twin factor chances are largely unknown.However with dizygotic twins, studies suggest that women with a family history may be more predisposed to twinning. Also women over the age of thirty, of a west African descent, larger women, women who have already beared children, those on fertility drugs and carnivorous women are all more likely to bear dizygotic twins.There are two different ways a twin can occur:Monozygotic twins: These are often referred to as "identical twins". This occurs when one egg is fertilised and then divides in to two embryos. They have nearly identical DNA.Dizygotic twins: Often called "non identical" or "fraternal", this occurs when two eggs are fertilised and develop in to embyros. Apart from their age and their prenatal development, they can be very different genetically, be different genders, etc.

Is it possible to have a ectopic pregnancy with twins?
Certainly! An ectopic pregnancy is not a condition that affects your reproductive organs such as endometriosis. It also has no affect on the number of future embyo's. You have a 1 in 2 chance of conception if you had no problems prior to your ectopic pregnancy. About 60% conceive successfully after an ectopic pregnancy and about 30% choose not to try conceiving again. If you do conceive successfully after having an ectopic pregnancy, it is important to notify your doctor at the first visit of this so that he/she can pay special attention to any warning signs and help you and your baby have a successful future pregnancy.
