Yes. I have an identical twin sister and I have had no trouble getting pregnant with my 2 children. My sister has been trying to conceive for 2 years now, and has been considered infertile. There is no explanation for it, and she has had several unsuccessful attempts with fertility treatments. It makes me very sad for her, and sad that the dream of raising our children together will never happen.

You have twin female calves can they reproduce?
Twin female calves should be able to reproduce in the future, given they are otherwise healthy, normal calves. The main problem is if you get twins of different genders sharing the same blood supply during gestation. These are termed freemartins and the female has been exposed to male hormones throughout gestation. Besides looking a little 'manly', or having some physical similarities to a bull, they are almost always infertile and farmers will not attempt to mate them for this reason.

Fertility or sterility is not determined by birth circumstances. That is, just because an animal is born a twin, doesn't mean it will be sterile, or fertile. Being a twin has nothing to do with it.Another opinion:When twin bull calves are born neither are sterile, they're both fertile. The issue comes when the twin bull is born with a twin heifer, where there's a chance that she may be a freemartin and have a 90% chance of being sterile.
Are fraternal twin calves infertile?
It doesn't work that way. A heifer calf is only infertile if she is twinned with a bull calf and if her and that bull calf share the same placental tissues. In most cases such twins are fraternal, but simply stating that fraternal twins versus maternal twins are more prone to infertility than the other is stating falsehoods.
