My other and I want to have more children.
We have three blessing to date but would
love to have at least two more. Is there
any fertility drugs that would boost our
chance of conceiving multiples? It isn't
a big deal if we don't have twins, but we
would really love to try. Any
suggestions would be great!!

Unless it runs in your family, there isn't
a great chance of twins, unless you
undergo some sort of family planning,
fertility drugs. If you're over the age
of 35 that also increases your risk of
multiple births.

Twins or any kind of multiple birth aren't
genetically related. Fertility drugs,
however, very often produce a multiple
birth. I am twenty three weeks with
twins, and i'm fifteen - obviously wasn't
planned. :)

Twins are genetic but it does not have to
be in the family for you to have them.It's
just a greater chance if it does run in
the family.

Fraternal twins are passed down. Meaning
the woman genetically spits out more than
one egg at a time. If her mother did,
her grandmother did, then she is very
likely to have them. Now....Identical
twins--are not genetic and they just
happen by chance. Can happen to anyone.
" I found this infomation was from a
discovery documentary about twins."
if on fertility drugs your chances of
having more than one egg expell at a time
a lot higher--so in that case, it does not
have to be from your parent--or
grandparent--it would be drug induced.

ok..Well, I had twins..And everything I
have read is the mother is responsible for
fraternal..Which is what I
had..However..The father is responsible
for identical...So if you have identical
twins..It came from the fathers side...

they said identicals are just chance---not
hereditary
and that fraternal can be caused from
other things(fertility hormones)---but
usually they are hereditary.
