its not likely that you will have twins then... normally you will not have a chance of having twins unless your mother side of the family has a history of twins it matter if you dads side does or not and also if you are over the age of 35 years old. Most likely if your siblings are twins the there is a possibility that they them selves or their children will have twins..

∙ 15y agoIf You Are A Twin (Or Have Twins In Your Family):
If you are a fraternal twin, you have a 1 in 17 Chance of having twins. If you are identical, it doesn't affect your chances, and they remain from 1 in anywhere from 38 - 90, depending on if fertility drugs are used or not. If your mother is a fraternal twin, you may have a higher than average chance of twins. If you father is a twin, it doesn't affect your chances, as fraternal
twinning is apparently carried down the maternal line. If your husband is a twin or has twins in his family, it doesn't affect your chances of having twins. If you have a parent that is an identical twin, your chances of having twins yourself are the same as anyone else.

∙ 13y agoHi,
The chances of you & your partner/wife having twins because you're a twin yourself increases the chances a little, however, It doesn't mean that you will NO DOUGHT have twins, it just increases the chances.
For example, I'm 13 and we're from Easterhouse in Glasgow, and I'm an identical triplet, me & my two triplet brothers were born on 25th December 1997, but that does not mean I will have twins/triplets/quads with my wife when I'm older, it stays the same because I'm identical with my brothers. Only fraternal twins/triplets increase the chances.
So you might have twins, you might not! But your just a little more prone to twins & triplets because your one yourself.
For some reason, if your an identical twin, your chances do not increase any because the genes are exactly the same between u and ur twin. But as I'm identical with my triplets, it won't increase my chances any.
P.S. Hope this helps from thetroublesomethree

Is it more likey for a fraternal twin to give birth to a set of fraternal twins than to just one baby?
The same as anyone else, unless his partner has a history of twins in her family. Twins are a result of the ovum (egg) splitting after fertilisation (identical twins), or the release of two eggs during ovulation (fraternal twins). It has no bearing on the male contribution to fertilisation (being the sperm).

What is the difference between dizygotic twins and monozygotic twins?
Dizygotic twins develop from two separate ova fertilized by different sperm at roughly the same time, they are also called fraternal twins. Monozygotic twins develop from one zygote that splits apart producing genetically identical zygotes; also called identical twins.
How is a fraternal twin different than other twins?
Fraternal means "brother-like." Identical twins result from a single fertilzed egg dividing into two separate embryos so the twins share all DNA. Fraternal twins result from two different eggs being fertilized by two different sperm at the same time. The babies are then born at the same time, but only share 25%of their DNA with each other, which is the same amount that siblings born at different times share. The word fraternal used in social organizations, like "the fraternal order of"...refers to the thought that the members are like brothers to each other. Modern french uses the word frere to mean brother.
What are MZ and DZ Twin Pairs?
MZ twins are identical twins that share 100% of the same DNA. DZ twins share only 50% of their DNA (fraternal twins). MZ twins are always the same gender, whereas DZ twins can be the same gender or one male and one female. DZM would be the male pairing of DZ twins, DZF is the female pairing, and DZO is when there is a male and a female.

What is the chance of having twins if your grandmother and grandfather were both fraternal twins and your half sister had twins AND you have a half sis and half bro that are fraternal twins?
The mother carries the twin gene and can pass it onto her children. However, only her daughters can give birth to twins. Her sons can inherit the twin gene and pass that onto their daughters, who can give birth to twins. But her sons will only become fathers of twins if their wife has the twin gene. So the chances of having twins if your husband is a twin is not possible unless you have the gene. However, if your grandfather passed the gene to his daughter (your mother) and she passed the gene to you, then, yes you could have twins if your grandfather is a twin.
What is the probability of having twins if your dad is a fraternal twin and you are a identical twin and your moms dad is a fraternal twin?
The probability is the same as if you had no history of twins in your family. There is no genetic component with identical twins, it is just something that happens. Fraternal twins occur if a mother "drops" two eggs in one month. Your father being a fraternal twin does not make you "drop" more than one egg in a month and so does not increase your chances of having twins. Your maternal grandfather being a fraternal twin did not effect your mother's ability to drop more than one egg and so did not effect your ability to "drop" more than one egg and so does not increase your ability to have twins.

What is the probability of having twins if your husband is a twin?
Identical twins happen by chance only; 4 per 1000 births or 0.004 probability. Fraternal twin probability is increased only if it is on the mother's side; so this does you affect your circumstance (from what you have stated). The chance of fraternal twins is 1 in 60 or 0.017. So, your probability of identical twins is 0.004 and fraternal twins is 0.017 (BTW, I have triplets).
