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.

No. The popular gen is it is best that people of this sort remain ( single) or dual-controlled and avoid any Center-Aisle Romantic entanglement. The original Chang and Eng ( l9Th century siamese twins) were married to one woman, normal, and produced normal offspring. Neither the Hilton sisters nor the Boston-area sisters as far as I know ever got married. There may be legal issues here, also. A different type of freak, the Amazon Sandra Allen, was never married. Most people of this type tend to die young, in the case of the overly tall woman, the circulatory system is over-taxed.

The increase in IVF has increase the number of multiple births in recent decades.

Yes, but only in cases in which they're fraternal, as identical twins form from a single egg/sperm combination and thus cannot have different fathers.

I have an identical twin. For me it is no more likely that I will have twins than anyone else because identical twins are just flukes. If you are a non- identical twin and that is because your mother had two eggs, then you may have this too, and it is more likely you will have twins.
