Twins' genetics do not inherently skip a generation. The likelihood of having twins can be influenced by various factors, including family history and the mother's age, but these traits are passed down rather than skipped. For example, if a woman has a family history of fraternal twins, she may be more likely to have twins herself, but it doesn't guarantee that her children will necessarily have twins as well. Ultimately, genetics can play a role, but it isn’t a straightforward pattern of skipping generations.

It is possible to have multiple sets of multiples, and giving birth to multiples can also skip a generation. Hyper ovulation (the tendency to release multiple eggs during ovulation, increasing the chances of conceiving fraternal twins) is a factor in giving birth to twins.

What are your chances of conceiving twins after you miscarried twins?

If the grandparents generation had twins what generation is next to have multiples?

Although there is a genetic component to twin births, many multiple births are not genetic. If one generation has twins, the next generation may also have twins. The likelihood of twins reduces with succeeding generations that do not have twins. Multiple births does not have patters such as generation skipping, and is never guaranteed.


Will you have twins since your grandmother was a twin?

It is possible but it is almost impossible to tell. However, the chances of having twins, if your parents had twins without the use of fertility drugs, is greater than if they only had single births. There are old "wives tales" or "myths" about twins, such as that they usually skip a generation. For instance, your mother had twins, so your children (or another one of your mothers daughters, children) will have twins. There is no scientific basis for this.

There are twins in the family and missed a generation could you be the one to carry it on?

Yes, if there are twins in the family and a generation has been missed, it’s possible for you to carry on the twin gene. This genetic trait can be passed down, and if you have the potential to conceive twins, it could manifest in your offspring. However, the likelihood also depends on other factors, including genetics from both parents. Ultimately, while you could carry on the trait, it's not guaranteed.
