Well the chances are unknown to me but theres a one in a million chance that you might have identical twins. Identical twins are rare in some cases. Hopefully you have an identical twin if you want one.

What are the chances of identical twins?

What is the probability of having twins if your dad is a twin?
I'm not sure on the actual percentages. It firstly depends on if your father is an identical or non-identical twin. (Maternal or fraternal) Non-identical (fraternal) twins are the hereditary type, not the identical ones. Identical twins are simply a hiccup with the cell division during fetal growth, whereas non-identical twins are due to the hereditary tendency of the woman releasing more than one egg at a time. The gene for non-identical twins is directly passed from fathers to daughters, and the chance of having twins usually skips a generation too (like baldness in men!). So, if your father is a twin (a non-identical twin) and you are his daughter, it's possible that you may also have twins, but it's far more likely that your daughter will. My father is a twin (his brother died at birth and it's not known if he was maternal or fraternal unfortunately) and I only have 1 child (a daughter). She has a very high chance of having twins if dad was fraternal.

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.

There is no answer to that really, but, if your husband/boyfriend/fiance/ male has fathered children, example 3 girls, you may have a higher chance of having a girl, or not, since you are a different mother. thank you
How likely is it to have identical triplets?
No. That's stupid. But it is theoretically possible to have identical quadruplets, as in two sets of identical twins. (Another User) But I have heard of identical triplets - It was in the newspaper. They are all 5 years old (Third user) Actually, it IS possible, though exceedingly rare - said to occur in around 1 in 200,000,000 (200 million) births. It happens when one egg splits into identical twins, and then one of those eggs splits again, resulting in three total. As long as all goes well and all three survive the pregnancy and birth, they will live to be identical triplets. There is a story about identical triplets born to a British woman in Austria in 2007. I'd put a link here but don't know if they're allowed. Just search on "identical triplets in Austria" and it will come up. Don't use the quotes.
What are the chances of having twins when the father to be is an identical twin and his mother has identical twin brothers?

What are the chances of having twins after aborting twins?
It is the same for any other pregnancy. Abortion does not change the randomness of identical twins or the familiar tendency to have fraternal twins.
How can you improve the chances of having twins?
There are two primary types of twins, Identical and Fraternal. Identical twins occur when the egg splits after fertilization. To date no indication of a genetic link has been found. Anyone has a chance, though small, of having identical twins. Fraternal twins occur when more than one egg is dropped during ovulation. This trait can be inherited from the mother's side of the family. Studies have shown that the chances are also increased by being overweight or older.
I am a fraternal twin what are the odds of me having twins?
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..
