Increasing Chances Of Conceiving Twins

  of conceiving twins whereas in some cases it can
  prove to be just impossible to get pregnant with
  twins.
• It means that if someone on your mother or
  fathers side had fraternal twins, chances of you
  having those increases. But this is more
  applicable to mothers rather than fathers. If the
  would-be father has twins in the family, it
  usually does not help, as some genetic component
  that causes a woman to produce more than one egg
  during ovulation. Hence, even if the would-be
  father has a family history of twins it usually
  will not pass down.

  family history of twins from her father or
  mothers side, chances of conceiving twins is

• Identical twins are not caused due to hereditary
  factor. Other factors that can also increase or
  lower your chances of conceiving twins include
  your age and ethnicity.

  one sperm fertilizes one egg which then is

  the twins do not share similar traits and have
  the same genetic composition as siblings of same
  parents. Both the non-identical twins will have
  their placenta.
