How to Get Pregnant With Twins

Many parents wonder how to get pregnant with twins. There are many rather silly “instructions” how to get twins based on folklore and inaccurate traditional beliefs.

You should ask around your family to see if there were any previous cases of twins or triplets, etc. Twining is something you inherit either from your father’s side, if you are a male or your mother’s side if you are a female. It is more probable to get twins from your father’s side. These are dizygotic twins.

Considering the heritage from your mother’s side you may inherit a gene that is responsible for hyper-ovulation – an increased rate of egg production in females. So based on this knowledge, if you don’t have any twins in your family history it would certainly raise the odds if you choose a twin for your partner.

It also might help if a woman waits until she is a little bit older when she has her first pregnancy. Older females are more likely to get twins than younger ones. Researches have shown that women over 35 have greater chances to bear twins.

However, the same researches have told us that the older the woman is the greater are the chances to have difficulties during pregnancy. Try having a big family. Research has shown that the more kids you have, the greater are the odds for getting lucky with twins. Don’t believe in traditional fairy-tales.

The smartest thing you can do about getting twins is have a talk with your doctor who will probably advise you to go see a fertility expert. The truth is that although your friends and family may wish you well, unless they are fertility experts them selves – they probably don’t know too much about mechanisms in human body responsible for getting twins.
