The fact that twins run in families is actually a myth. The odds of twins having twins is the same as a non-twin having twins. That is about 1 in 33.
Sounds like a good chance! You sound like my family LOL!
AnswerIts very unlikely, but its possible. Its happended a few times in history....... so, probley 1 in 700,000 chance i think.
Women who are themselves fraternal twins have a 10% chance of producing twins, identical twin women have only a 0.6% probability of having a twin birth.
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.
No, but if you have twins in your family there is a good chance of twins but soy stuff does not increase or decrease your chance of having twins.
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.
Not necessarily you could be having twins and they don't have to be identical.
No but it gives you a better chance at having them.
The likelihood of having twins varies depending on factors such as genetics, age, and ethnicity. On average, twins occur in about 1 in 30 births. Factors such as fertility treatments, family history of twins, and maternal age can increase the 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.
I would say that if as long as you can remember your family has been having twins, triplets, ect. I would say it runs through your family's blood.
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.
Every one who has ever been born has a family history, no matter what their circumstance.
there is a 1 in 7 chance that you will have twins scientificly but you could be a lucky one if you wish for it enough.
Its at 50/50 chance... The twin or female double egg is what causes twins... its on the woman's side of the family..
