Fertility drugs that cause more than one egg to mature at ovulation or in vitro fertilization.
Identical twins are caused by unknown factors, when the developing zygote splits in two. Fraternal twins seem to run in some families.
We are not made to carry more than one baby per pregnancy and carrying twins is much more risky for both mom and the babies.
Since the Octomom nightmare two years ago, doctors are being urged not to implant more than one zygote per cycle - the chances of pregnancy seem to be the same (according to British fertility doctors) and the risks are much lower.
To increase your chances of having twins, consider factors such as family history, particularly if you have a history of fraternal twins, as genetics can play a role. Age is another factor; women over 30 are more likely to release multiple eggs during ovulation. Additionally, certain fertility treatments, like in vitro fertilization (IVF), can also increase the likelihood of having twins. Lastly, a higher body mass index (BMI) and consuming dairy products have been suggested to correlate with a higher chance of conceiving twins.
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.
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.
I was told by my doctor, that the chances of having multiples is very likely once you've conceived multiples in the past. And if you have multiples, they will skip a generation and then their kids will likely have multiples. Pretty cool.
Sounds like a good chance! You sound like my family LOL!
no
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.
the chances of having identical twins are about 1 in 300.
Having a family history of twins, particularly on the mother's side, can increase the likelihood of having twins, but the influence varies. If your aunt had fraternal twins, it may suggest a genetic predisposition, especially if it's a trait that runs in the family. However, identical twins are not influenced by genetics, so the chances remain largely the same regardless of family history. Overall, while there may be a slight increase in the odds, it is not guaranteed.
There are some fertility treatments that can increase a woman's chances of having twins. However, there is no medicine that one can take to guarantee that they would give birth to twins.
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.
As a fraternal twin, your chances of having twins are higher than the general population, but it's not a guarantee. The genetic component that increases the likelihood of conceiving fraternal twins is typically passed down through the maternal line. However, there are also other factors that can influence the chances of conceiving twins, such as age and family history.
Yes
So So
Myomectomy alone wouldn't change the likelihood of conceiving twins.
