  • Normally, one out of every 89 women get pregnant
    with twins.
  • It means that under normal circumstances it is
    difficult to conceive twins.
  • However, you can boost your chances by taking
    fertility medications or undergoing special
    procedures such as IVF.
  • However, there are other natural ways of
    increasing your chances of being pregnant with
    twins.
  • But first, you must understand the process behind
    how to have twins.

How To Have Twins?
  • Twins are mostly fraternal. It means that the
    twins are developed from two separate eggs.
  • Identical twins are very rare and happen when one
    egg splits sometimes at the very early stage of
    pregnancy. It means fraternal twins are conceived
    when the release of two eggs occurs during
    ovulation. On the other hand, identical twins are
    just like a random fluke.

Increasing Chances Of Conceiving Twins
  • Some things can undoubtedly increase your chances
    of conceiving twins whereas in some cases it can
    prove to be just impossible to get pregnant with
    twins.
  • It means that if someone on your mother or
    fathers side had fraternal twins, chances of you
    having those increases. But this is more
    applicable to mothers rather than fathers. If the
    would-be father has twins in the family, it
    usually does not help, as some genetic component
    that causes a woman to produce more than one egg
    during ovulation. Hence, even if the would-be
    father has a family history of twins it usually
    will not pass down.

5
  • On the other hand, if the would-be mother has a
    family history of twins from her father or
    mothers side, chances of conceiving twins is
    more.
  • It is because the twin gene is passed down to
    the mother from her parents side.
  • Identical twins are not caused due to hereditary
    factor. Other factors that can also increase or
    lower your chances of conceiving twins include
    your age and ethnicity.

6
How Do Twins Happen?
  • Monozygotic or identical twins are conceived when
    one sperm fertilizes one egg which then is
    divided into two separate embryos.
  • In the case of non-identical or dizygotic twins,
    the twins do not share similar traits and have
    the same genetic composition as siblings of same
    parents. Both the non-identical twins will have
    their placenta.

How To Enhances Chances Of Having Twins Naturally?
  • Taking Folic Acid Supplement
  • According to an Australian study, women who
    were prescribed folic acid before they conceived
    had more chances of getting pregnant with twins.
    The study says that if you are trying to get
    pregnant with twins, you must start taking folic
    acid supplements as it boosts your chances of
    conceiving twins by 40.

Obese Women Have More Chances Of Conceiving Twins
  • According to a study published in the Obstetrics
    Gynecology March 2005 issue, overweight women
    stand better chances of having twins. Also,
    taller women can get pregnant with twins more as
    compared to shorter women.

  • Eating Dairy Products
  • While researching on how to have twins, Dr.
    Gary Steinman, Long Island Jewish Medical
    Centers physician found out those women who ate
    dairy five or even more times had higher chances
    of getting pregnant with twins than those who did
    not.

10
Nursing Women Can Conceive Twins
  • If you are still breastfeeding your child, you
    should continue doing so to get pregnant with
    twins. One study says that women who conceived
    while they were still nursing their previous
    child were nine times more likely to get pregnant
    with twins than those who did not continue
    breastfeeding.

11
Eating Cassava Multiples Twin Pregnancy Chances
  • Cassava is also known as yams and is an
    African variant of sweet potato. Research
    suggests that it causes hyperovulation enhances
    your chances of getting pregnant with twins. You
    can use it in powdered form or as a whole in your
    meals to boost your chances of conceiving twins.
    During hyperovulation, two or more eggs drop when
    ovulation takes place.

12
Increasing Intake of Magnesium/Calcium
  • Some research suggests that you can get pregnant
    with twins by taking a combined dose of magnesium
    and calcium supplements. However, it is important
    to adjust the dose according to your age.
    Consulting your caregiver before starting it is a
    better idea.

13
Pineapple Core
  • Pineapple core is known to contain highest
    bromelain concentrations, which increase
    implantation chances following ovulation.
    However, excess consumption can lead to
    miscarriage or contractions so should be taken
    only after consulting your doctor. It can be
    consumed in pill form or raw.

14
Medical Methods
  • If you are keen to get pregnant with twins, you
    can as well start taking fertility drugs such as
    Clomid (only under medical supervision) or
    undergo multiple egg implantation via IVF.

15
Miscarriage
  • Although no one intentionally chooses to have a
    miscarriage, anecdotally women have better
    chances of conceiving twins after the
    miscarriage.
  • So these are some of the solutions for those who
    want to know how to have twins. There can be many
    other ways of enhancing your chances of getting
    pregnant with multiples, but it is advisable to
    check with your caregiver before trying such
