The same as anyone else becoming pregnant with twins. It's more common if it runs in your family, and it is said to skip a generation.
People who have had twins stand a better chance "statisticaly" of having twin again then those that did not have twins.
Overall chances of your having twins are about 3.2%. According to several sources, here are some factors in increasing your chances of having twins: You are over 45 (17% of women over 45 have twins). You have twins in your family on your mom's side (17%). You are African-American. You have been pregnant before. You have had twins before (12%). You are undergoing fertility treatment. You are overweight. You are tall.
Unfortunately, there is no way to put a percentage on your chances. From my understanding it depends if you inherit the gene for hyperovulation. Both your mom and dad could be carriers of the gene because your grandma on both sides had the gene (Hence they both had fraternal twins). There is no way to tell if you hyperovluate without either becoming pregnant with twins or having an ultrasound done to see how many eggs were released during ovulation. There is no gene for identical twins. As of yet, scientists are unsure what causes an egg to split.
the chances of having identical twins are about 1 in 300.
I had two mature follicles at my ultrasoud this morning, and my reproductive endocrinologist told me that I had a good chance of getting pregnant and a 5% chance that it would be twins.
