Preconception
Questions:
- Does conceiving one set of twins increase a mother's chance of having a second set of twins?
- I would like to try to conceive twins. Can you offer any tips?
- What are double ovum twins?
- I'm 39 years old. I've heard that the older you get, your eggs start splitting, increasing your odds of a multiple birth (which I would be very grateful for). Is it likely that I would have a multiple birth?
- Can a male carry the gene to produce twins, or does it have to be the woman?
- I have heard some people say that a pregnancy after a miscarriage increases your chance of having twins. Is this true (without fertility medications)?
- What can I do to increase my chances of having twins?
- I have heard that if you have a set of fraternal twins, the chances of you having another set are very high. Is this fact or fiction?
- When fraternal twins are conceived, is it likely that two eggs were released from the same ovary, or can both ovaries release eggs during the same cycle?
- What is my percentage rate for having twins if I am taking Clomid and am 36 years old?
- I recently lost a pregnancy where I was carrying twins. What are the chances that I could get pregnant with twins again?
