Want this question answered?
Women who are themselves fraternal twins have a 10% chance of producing twins, identical twin women have only a 0.6% probability of having a twin birth.
Sounds like a good chance! You sound like my family LOL!
Well, as an identical twin myself, I believe there is a one out of twelve chance of having identical twins, although, I'm not 100% sure....
AnswerIts very unlikely, but its possible. Its happended a few times in history....... so, probley 1 in 700,000 chance i think.
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).
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.
No, but if you have twins in your family there is a good chance of twins but soy stuff does not increase or decrease your chance of having twins.
actually u have a greater chance of twins then
Having twins is based on probability. There is not a 100% chance you will have twins.
you have about a 1 in 60 chance of having natural fraternal twins.
Taking fertility pills increases the chances. The chance of having twins goes up with being slightly overweight. Older women also have a larger chance of having twins.
If one is expecting twins and is wanting to know the odds of twins being two girls the probabilities are that one would have about a 25% chance. It is stated that there is a 50% chance of having one of each or a 25% chance of having twin boys.
Its at 50/50 chance... The twin or female double egg is what causes twins... its on the woman's side of the family..
Women who are themselves fraternal twins have a 10% chance of producing twins, identical twin women have only a 0.6% probability of having a twin birth.
No but it gives you a better chance at having them.
People who have had twins stand a better chance "statisticaly" of having twin again then those that did not have twins.
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.
