Here Are Tips On How To Get Twins

-

 


Want to get twins? 
The idea of having twins tends to polarize people. Some couples say they’d love the chance to parent two babies and others react in an entirely different way. If you are a twin or have twin siblings, then your concept of the reality is likely to be very different to someone who’s never had anything to do with more than one baby at a time.



Are twins common?

Many reproductive experts believe that as humans we probably have more twin pregnancies than any of us are aware of. Technological advances have found that it is reasonably common for there to be more than one embryo conceived and implanted, but of these, only one is viable and survives.

How do twins happen?

However, to increase your chances of conceiving two babies, then you need to understand how twins are made.

There are two types of twins; identical and non-identical twins. Identical twins are formed when one egg is fertilized by one sperm which then divides into two separate embryos. Each share exactly the same genetic components and identical genetic structures. Identical twins also share the same placenta.

Non-identical twins are from two separate eggs being fertilized by two separate sperm. These twins have their own unique individuals and share no genetic composition other than siblings with the same parents. Each baby is a non-identical twin pair that will have its own placenta.

Non-identical twins also called fraternal, and identical twins also known as non-fraternal.

What about twins in families?

Twins do run in families. But the genetic tendency for having twins only applies to the mother. It is the family history of the mother that impact the chances of her having hyper ovulation.

Family history does not play a role in this because any woman can have identical twins.

The majority of twins who are born are non-identical and a result of two eggs being fertilized.

Some fraternal twins look very similar; others share some resemblance whilst the remainder may not even look the slightest bit related.

 

Tips to help boost my chances of having twins?

  • Being older rather than younger help. It seems to be a twist of nature that just before a woman enters pre-menopause, her ovaries start releasing more than one egg each month. This “fertility spike” is also influenced by a surge of oestrogen. Fertility research has proven that twin pregnancies are much more common in women who are over 35 years. But this only applies to non-identical twins.
  • Have a big family. This theory is purely based on calculations; the more times you conceive the greater the likelihood of conceiving more than one baby.
  • Get pregnant while you are on the pill. Difficult as this can be overall, there is a higher incidence of women conceiving with twins when they are on oral contraceptives.
  • Try to conceive straight after you have stopped taking the pill. The theory is that for the first couple of cycles the woman’s body is going through a hormonal readjustment phase.
  • Already have a set of twins. Because the likelihood of conceiving with twins again is higher in women who’ve already had them.
  • Be heavier rather than lighter so that you’ve got a higher body mass index (BMI). Some researchers claim that a woman with a BMI of greater than 30 boosts her chances. But considering a healthy range during the fertile years is 20-25 and 30 would put you into the overweight/obese category then this is not a healthy recommendation.
  • Taller women tend to conceive more twins.
  • Have fertility assistance such as in vitro fertilization or take fertility drugs. These stimulate the ovaries to support more than one ovarian follicle each month towards maturity. The result is that more than one egg is released.
  • Pick your own genetics carefully! Though we all know this can be true. But if you come from a family where non-identical twins are common then your family history and genetic endowment means that you’ve got a greater chance of having them yourself. But identical twins come in any family.
  • Be of African/American heritage. Women from this ethnic background have a distinctly higher rate of twin pregnancies.
  • If you have been pregnant before, you stand a chance. Women who have previously had a baby or two have a higher chance of conceiving with twins.
  • Take a folic acid supplement before you conceive. The general recommendation for women who are planning to conceive is to start taking folic acid supplements one month before conception.
  • Encourage your partner to eat some oysters. The urban myth about oysters being an aphrodisiac is not entirely without basis. Oysters are high in zinc and this helps with sperm production. The healthier and more mobile his sperm are, the greater the likelihood of being able to fertilize an egg or two. If he’s keen to take supplements, the recommendation for men in their fertile years is 14mg/day. Green leafy vegetables, cereals, bread, seeds and wheat germ are all excellent sources of zinc.
  • Be a twin yourself. Mothers who are twins are more likely to have twin babies. There is no influence on the male partner’s side, only the mothers. But it does seem that fathers may pass the twin gene onto their daughters for their future conception possibilities.
  • Eat more yams/sweet potatoes. It is a fact that more women conceive with twins who live in areas where yams areA a major component of their diet. It seems that a naturally occurring chemical component of the yams helps to support ovarian function.
  • Keep breastfeeding your older baby or toddler. Women who are producing prolactin and breastfeeding are more likely to conceive with twins. Though some women do not resume regular ovulation and menstrual cycles for the entire time they are breastfeeding; this is very individual.
  • Trusting and believing in God for want you want could give you your desire result. 

 

What’s having twins are not?

  • The idea that conceiving twins skip a generation is not true. Although there can appear to be a pattern in some families of this happening, the odds of having identical twins is the same for every woman.
  • Eating a diet that is high in dairy foods, milk and meat is said to help, especially at the time of ovulation. But there is no scientific evidence to support this.
  • Alternative therapies do not increase the likelihood. There is no scientific evidence to support the theory that acupuncture, naturopathy, aromatherapy, chiropractic or flower essences increase the likelihood of having twins.
