Rude Much

Wow you are a little rude! The reason I
ask is because I read on the internet its
most likely to have twins if there are
twins on the mothers side. And if you are
gonna be rude about my question I dont
need you (samantham) to answer back.
Thanks!!!

But back to the normal post/question..
There is probably a chance you are
pregnant with twins which me I dont know
precentage wise what chance you actually
have...Maybe you should first find out if
you are or arent pregnant and then if you
are ..Talk with your doctor and im sure
they will be glad to do an ultrasound to
see!..
Good luck ..And congrats if you are indeed
pregnant!

I heard twins tend to skip a generation...
Fraternal twins do run in someones family
samantha... Some people are more likely
to have twins than others if it's common
in their family.
I think i've heard that twins skip a
generation, so you are more likely to have
twins if your parents or partners parents
were twins or had siblings that were twins
than if your husband is a twin. I've
heard this, don't know how true it is.

You do have a very slight advantage to
having twins if fraternal twins tend to
run in the .Mothers side, the chances
really don't go up for you with them
running in the .Fathers side. Fraternal
twins mean 2 eggs have been released
during ovulation and both have been
fertilized. The genetics play apart in
that some women have a "family tendancy"
to release more than one egg. Identical
twins happen when the egg splits into 2,
creating 2 babies that have been
fertilized with the same sperm (both
babies then having identical .D.N.A.)
identical twins don't run in families.

i think the poster who said this lady is
dumb was probably confused by the poster's
question which seems to ask 'is it
possible that twins can be conceived?' as
opposed to 'how likely is it that I have
conceived twins?'.
I think she probably thought the poster
was just someone messing around.
That's what I reckon anyway!

Twins run from the female side not male.
The way twins are concieved is solely your
doing. You are the one who will either
release 2 eggs(fraternal twins) or have
your egg split in two(identical twins).

Exactly what emma said, if faternal twins
run in y.O.U.R family it is possible that
you will have twins, twins come about from
the female releasing two eggs during
ovulation. I think having identical
twins however is not genetic, because
through some strange chance the egg just
splits in two ( I stand to be corrected).
Twins on your boyfriend side will not
affect your chances of having twins....
But if your boyfriend has a sister then it
is possible that she will have twins.

The possibility of twins come from the
female side.
A knew a woman who was a twin and she had
twin girls, but I also know a guy who has
a twin sister and when he got his gf
pregnant it was just one baby. As was
said before, the twins (fraternal) come
from the woman releasing two eggs.
Nothing to do with the man, other than the
fact that both those eggs have to get
fertilized to get twins. Identical twins
are all just by chance.

That is one thing I always thought of when
I was pregnant, every second child on my
mother's side of the family had twins but
I guess it stopped with me, thank
goodness, in a way and then my cousin even
though she had four boys(no twins) anyway
but if all of mine had of lived, I would
have had six I did and still do appreciate
my two((not twins)!
Good luck to you!

Wow this is all so wierd! My grandmas
sister is a twin so it would skip my mom
and go to me right? Then my husband is a
identiacal twin and his uncles are twins,
and his cousin had twins. Plus get this I
am on fertility drugs that increase my
chances to 5- 10% of having twins (says
doctor) how about that..Chances of twins
for me look really high!!! But cnichole I
have also heard the every other generaton
thing before but I also heard sometimes
like emma said the eggs are different, but
good luck hope you get what your wanting.
