how can you have twins [get pregnatnt with a twins i am to shy to ask some one in face because there is sex included i supose
Answer
Get Pregnant on BC, I have quite a few friends who got pregnant on it and most had twins, it says right on the paper that comes with the BC that if you get pregnant on it you have a chance of having multiples. ..Another one is most people who get pregnant in there 40's have a high risk of twins, look at celebrities for instance and look at how many who had kids in there 40's and had twins.
You could also try the following I found online
old wise Chinese Doctor, that if you want to conceive Twins naturally, here is the recipe:
B6 vitamin (200mg daily)
Calcium (1000mg daily)
Yams (Freshly brewed in a Juicer)
Apparently all three of those things must be used on a daily basis to ensure a naturally stimulated ovary that will ovulate at least 2 eggs a month.

What are my chances of having twins?
Joyous Mom
We are going to try to get pregnant. Twins run on my dad's side, could I get pregnant with twins?
We haven't tried getting pregnant yet, it actually took ONLY one try with my son so we are very careful now. If I was to take Clomid would my chances increase a lot more than average because of genetics and my high fertility?
My dad's side meaning that twins run on HIS side of the family. He had identical twin aunts and my dad's sister's daughter (my cousin Deanna) got pregnant with twins, etc.
To clarify on my curiousity of clomid...
I'm just curious about what effects would it have on a person like me. I didn't know about my dad's side until YESTERDAY. I never spent much time w/ my dad's family.
My husband and I want to get pregnant again and since only yesterday I found out about twins in my family I began studying it today. I looked up my chances and everywhere I went they mentioned the drug clomid. So I'm just wondering what effect, if any, it would have on a person with high fertility and a history of twins on her father's side.
I'm not going to TRY for twins, one more is enough for me.
ALSO there are both fraternal and identical in my father's family tree.
ljb - Thanks for the awesome answer, that's a relief! lol Twins are awesome and everything, but I can't imagine the strain of carrying them. That and I also can't imagine taking care of two newborns, I felt like a zombie with just my one son. The lack of sleep would be ungodly.
Whew, really that is a relief! THANKS! That stress is now gone. :-)
Answer
Could you get pregnant with twins? Yes, but the history on your dad's side of the family won't increase your chances, so in the absence of any other "risk" factors that would increase your chance of having twins you have the same chance as anyone else. Your father's family history doesn't come into play because: 1) the incidence of identical twinning is still scientifically considered to be a random event such that having identical twins in the family does not (so they say) effect a person's chance of having twins; 2) the incidence of fraternal twinning, which does have a genetic component, matters from a family history standpoint when it runs on the mother's side. As for "high fertility" -- you were very lucky to try for only one cycle and get pregnant, but you can't conclude from that that you or your husband is especially or unusually fertile....you had perfect timing and everyone's eggs and sperm were in order, and you were lucky!
Sorry for the cut and paste, but I've pasted below a previous answer I gave to someone who wanted to know what made a person more likely to have twins -- hope it's useful.
Whatever happens, best of luck!
-------------------------------------
Factors that increase a woman's chance of conceiving fraternal twins:
* family history of fraternal twinning *on the mother's side* (Trace it back through the women. In other words, if your mother's *father* has a history of twins in the family, it makes no difference; it would have to be your mother's mother...her mother...etc.)
* age: women over 30 are more likely to release multiple eggs during ovulation
* weight: recent studies show that overweight women are more likely to have twins
* height: those same studies suggest that taller women are more likely to have twins
* prior pregnancies: women who had four or more previous pregnancies are more likely to conceive twins
* you've already had twins: if you've had 'em before, you're more likely to have 'em again. (Note it's still unusuall to have more than one set of fraternal twins. Remember that having increased odds of having twins is still having pretty small odds, relatively speaking.)
* race/cultural background: for example, African American women are statistically more likely to conceive twins than Asian women.
* the use of certain fertility drugs
* diet: yes, I know, most people here will scoff at this. But in fact a study published in the Journal of Reproductive Medicine in the Spring of 2006 reported that diet does effect one's chances of having twins, and, specifically, that women with a diet high in animal protein, and especially dairy, are several times more likely to have twins than vegan women (who eat no animal protein). There has also been scientific conjecture about yams and twinning, based largely on the fact that a Nigerian tribe with a diet consisting almost exclusively of a particular type of yam has the highest rate of twinning in the world. Scientists believe that yams contains certain chemicals that function similarly to estrogen, and so effect ovulation. Note, however, that even the study about dairy/animal protein concluded that women with a diet high in those things were five times as likely as vegan women to give birth to twins....but the chance of twinning is still small.
It's mostly chance, when you get down to it, family history, age, race, fertility drugs, etc. notwithstanding. The best "chance" is through the use of fertility drugs to stimulate hyperovulation and undergo in vitro fertilization, but even that hardly ensures it.
