What are the chances of having twins after aborting twins?
It is the same for any other pregnancy. Abortion does not change the randomness of identical twins or the familiar tendency to have fraternal twins.
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.
What are the chances of having twins when the father to be is an identical twin and his mother has identical twin brothers?
You have the same chance as the general population. Identical twins are a genetic accident, researchers still don't know what triggers an egg to split making two embryos from one fertilized egg.
How common is it to have identical twins?
Well, as an identical twin myself, I believe there is a one out of twelve chance of having identical twins, although, I'm not 100% sure....
Why do you think identical twins were more alike than fraternal twins?
Fraternal twins share most of their genetic material, by virtue of having the same parents. Identical twins, however, by definition share 100% of their DNA. This means, for example, that identical twins cannot ever be one of each gender, as fraternal twins often are.
What are the chances of identical twins?
the chances of having identical twins are about 1 in 300.
What are the chances of a female triplet having twins?
I am an identical twin myself, and my wife just had identical triplets. So probably we would not've had twins if I was a singleton. So the chances of us multiples having them is around 1 in 20.....

I am a fraternal twin what are the odds of me having twins?
its not likely that you will have twins then... normally you will not have a chance of having twins unless your mother side of the family has a history of twins it matter if you dads side does or not and also if you are over the age of 35 years old. Most likely if your siblings are twins the there is a possibility that they them selves or their children will have twins..
If I had identical twins 3 years ago what are my changes of having another set of identical twins?
The same as when you had the first set of identical twins.

Does having an IUD increase the chances of having twins?
no
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 the chances of having twins if your husband is a twin and twins run on your side of the family?
Fraternal (non-identical) multiples caused by the mother releasing (or being implanted with) two or more eggs… the father has no influence in the connection fraternal multiples! Identical multiples are just a miracle of nature when the egg splits two or more times, it is not generally considered a genetic trait. You chance would only increase if you were one of a naturally conceived triplet (with at least one fraternal).
