These chances are very unlikely. Once you have one set of twins, your uterus is so small that it is small enough for only one child.
if you have a set of fraternal twins your chances of having a set again are high, i don't think uterus size comes into it. Fraternal twins are the result of 2 separate eggs being released (multi ovulation) and being fertilised by 2 separate sperm, fraternal twins run in familys but anyone can have them and the older you get the more likely you are to have a set of fraternals. Identical twins are the result of one fertilised egg splitting in 2 and this is completely random, identicals don't run in families

What are the odds of having twins twice?
From what i know, if your twins are identical then you have no increased chance of having twins a second time. If your twins are fraternal, you are twice as likely to have twins again because fraternal twins are the result of more than egg being released and that is a genetic trate.
What are some ways to increase chances of having twins?
Oh yes it does! I never dreamt I would become pregnant with twins. There are no twins in my side of the family. None that I know of. However, at my baby shower, I found out from my boyfriend's family that there were at least 4 sets of twins in his family; his grandmother had twins, his grand aunt had 2 sets of twins and his cousin had twins. It's amazing how science doesn't know everything because my high school friend had fraternal twins and when she found out I was having identical twins she told me that that wasn't hereditary, but obviously it is after learning my boyfriend's family's history.
Your paternal grandmother was a fraternal twin she had a brother and your paternal first cousin had a set of fraternal twins boys What are the chances of you having twins?
My Paternal grandfather and his sister were twins. I myself have fraternal twin boys. But none of my 1st cousins, or my sister have twins. I have two cousins who have had 3 single births so far, and my sister has had 2 single births as well. I dont know the chances of them giving birth to twins, but it does seem relatively low.
What are your chances of having twins the 3 pregnancy if you had twins the first pregnancy and single birth the second?
I am sure there is am mathematical equation out there somewhere on percentages but that I don't know. I know twins run in our family. My mom had twins her 2nd pregnancy. Her 1st was me and I was a loner, then my twin sisters, then 2more single births. My little brother and my baby sister. So for my mom, 4 pregnancies, only 1 twin. Now before you go getting all excited (unless up want more twins), her sister got pregnant 3 times & had twins all 3 times! My me mom says my aunt has always been an over achiever & a show off though LOL!
How true is when using clomid you have the possibilities of having multiple babies Is it true?
There is only a 5-7% chance of having twins and <1% chance of triplets (triplets has only happened once as far as I know). So, it's possible for the twins, but not highly likely. But, your chances are better for a single birth.

What are the chances of a brother and sister having twins but they are not twins and their parents are not twins.?
I DONT KNOW WHAT THE CHANCES ARE BUT MY SISTER-IN-LAW AND I BOTH HAVE A SET OF FRATERNAL TWIN GIRLS. HERS ARE 10 YEARS OLD AND MINE WILL BE 1 YEAR OLD IN ABOUT 2 MONTHS. IM SURE IT HAPPENS BUT I WOULD IMAGINE ITS NOT COMMON. MY HUSBANDS MOTHER WAS SHOCKED THAT HER DAUGHTER HAD TWINS, AND THEN HER SON HAD THEM. MY HUSBAND AND SISTER IN LAW ARE NOT TWINS. THEY HAVE TWIN AUNTS ON THEIR MOTHERS SIDE OF THE FAMILY, NONE ON THE FATHERS, AND I HAVE SEVERAL TWINS ON MY FATHERS SIDE, BUT NONE AT ALL ON MY MOTHERS. THE GENE IS ALWAYS CARRIED BY THE MOTHER TO DAUGHTER, SO I DONT KNOW JUST COINCIDENCE i GUESS.
What are the chances of having twins when the father to be is an identical twin and his mother has identical twin brothers?
You have the same chance as the general population. Identical twins are a genetic accident, researchers still don't know what triggers an egg to split making two embryos from one fertilized egg.
How do you know if your having fraternal twins?
A doctor can tell you or when you give birth to them you would know. Fraternal twins is two separate eggs from the ovaries get fertilised.
How likely is it to have twins?
if you are a twin there is 100% chance that you get pregnant and have twins. even your cousins can have twins if they know that they come from the generation as yours [added by another user] If you are female and you are a fraternal twin, you are at increased likelihood to conceive twins. If you are an identical twin or male, your chances of having twins are about the same as anyone elses, roughly 1:80 births.
