Identical twins happen by chance only; 4 per 1000 births or 0.004 probability. Fraternal twin probability is increased only if it is on the mother's side; so this does you affect your circumstance (from what you have stated). The chance of fraternal twins is 1 in 60 or 0.017. So, your probability of identical twins is 0.004 and fraternal twins is 0.017 (BTW, I have triplets).
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.
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.
if twins run in the family u are more likely to have twins but most likely fraternal because identical twins are just a very unique coincidence
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....
Sounds like a good chance! You sound like my family LOL!
Having twins is based on probability. There is not a 100% chance you will have twins.
it depends on you and your bf or husband but it is likely u will have 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.
the genes for twins only matter on your mother's side. Having a male partner with a history of twins will not affect you.
1- P(identical) - P(fraternal) =1-0.004-0.023 =0.973 The probability of being a identical or fraternal twin plus the probability of not being a twin has to add to 1. so 1- probability of being twins=probability of not being a twin ;-)
P(twin)=P(identical)+P(fraternal) P(twin)=0.004 +0.023 P(twin)=0.027 [That's 27 out of 1,000 cases, or 54 persons out of 1027.]
The probability is the same as if you had no history of twins in your family. There is no genetic component with identical twins, it is just something that happens. Fraternal twins occur if a mother "drops" two eggs in one month. Your father being a fraternal twin does not make you "drop" more than one egg in a month and so does not increase your chances of having twins. Your maternal grandfather being a fraternal twin did not effect your mother's ability to drop more than one egg and so did not effect your ability to "drop" more than one egg and so does not increase your ability to have twins.
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.
The chances of having twins can be influenced by genetics, but it's not guaranteed. In this scenario, with multiple twins in the family, there may be a slightly higher likelihood of having twins due to a genetic predisposition, but it's not definite. Other factors like age, ethnicity, and lifestyle also play a role in the likelihood of having twins.

Yes, she is having twin girls. ^^
The mans family history has nothing to do with twins or no twins....twins occur when a) the woman releases two mature eggs and they both get fertilized by two sperm or b) one mature egg is fertilized by one sperm and then that fertilized egg splits. One thing the man does contribute is the sex of the baby. A babies sex is solely determined by the father....not the mother.
