Q: How to get twins?

asked by: GiRo on June 9th, 2008

Hi,

I'm 17 so I don't want kids now!!!
But after school and college, a home and a job I'd love to have a bunch of them!
BUT I want twins, the identical kind.
Now, twins run in my family, but my mother gave birth to 5 babies and never got a twin.

I really want a twin when I'm adult, is there a trick to get one?
(I know that it's possible to have a sperm inplant, but I want the identical twin, where the dnastuff just splits in two parts so there are 2 of the same baby)

It can also be triplets.. Razz

Please reply ^^

You can't do anything to get identical twins. They are an anomaly and happen on a microscopic level. Like you said, the cells splitting. No one can create identical twins.

Awe...

Isn't there a way to activate the cellsplitting process??? Sad

No shot?? Pills???
Maybe.... maybe I should shake my belly so that when the cells split they get juggled so they split again....

No. The only way to get multiples is by nature - a spontaneous occurance in the womb that no one can control, or by fertility drugs/invitro fertilization. Although, evern with fertility drugs/invitro fertilization you can't be sure how many you would get.

Vitamins won't give you twins or multiples.

Fertility drugs can make you release more than one egg, but there's no guarantee that more than one egg will implant successfully. Also, the babies will be fraternal twins, not identical.

There is nothing you can do to make identical twins. It's beyond our control.
