Many people want to know if there are natural ways they can increase their chances of conceiving twins. Several studies have shown that there are certain natural supplements people can take (i.e., Folic Acid) and modifications they can make to their dietary intake (i.e., dairy products and higher caloric intake) which will increase the chances of conceiving twins (both identical twins and fraternal twins).
1. Natural Preconception Methods: Twins
By Alessandra R. Linder, LPMT of BABY NATURAL GENDER SELECTION, INC.
There are two types of twins: identical twins and fraternal twins. Identical twins are
formed by a fertilized egg dividing into two separate genetically identical individuals of
the same sex. In contrast, fraternal twins are formed by two separate eggs fertilized by
two separate sperm which may be the same or different sexes (which are genetically
different either way). Both types of twins are carried in the same uterus at the same
time. The natural occurrence of twins is about 1 in 42 for fraternal twins and about 1 in
285 for identical twins.
As with natural gender selection methods to conceive baby girl or boy, many people
want to know if there are natural ways they can increase their chances of conceiving
twins.
If you are a fraternal twin, you have a 1 in 17 chance of having fraternal twins. If you are
an identical twin, it doesn’t affect your chances. If your mother is a fraternal twin, you
may have a higher than average chance of twins. If you father is a twin, it doesn’t affect
your chances, as fraternal twinning is apparently carried down the maternal line. If you
have a parent that is an identical twin, your chance of having twins yourself is the same
as anyone else.
As for identical twins, the use of fertility drugs and fertility clinic procedures do not
increase the chances of having identical twins whatsoever.
As for fraternal twins, although the use of fertility clinic procedures (i.e., high tech
sperm separating procedures (Sorting), Pre-Implantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD),
2. artificial insemination by In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), etc…) along with fertility drugs
(i.e., Clomid) has resulted in an increased rate of conception of fraternal twins, studies
have shown that these medical procedures pose potential risks of genetic damage to the
sperm, egg, or embryo (i.e., sperm subjected to laser radiation and fluorescent dyes
while sorting, harvesting the egg, artificial insemination by IVF, PGD, etc…) resulting in
an unhealthy fetus upon fertilization or an unforeseen future detrimental effect on the
child (which is beyond the inherent problems of having twins naturally in the first place:
low birth weight, need for c-section, tearing of abdominal muscles, need for bed rest,
stillbirth, etc…).
Therefore, many people want to know if there are natural ways they can increase their
chances of conceiving twins. Several studies have shown that there are certain natural
supplements people can take (i.e., Folic Acid) and modifications they can make to their
dietary intake (i.e., dairy products and higher caloric intake) which will increase the
chances of conceiving twins (both identical twins and fraternal twins). These studies
prove that once again, folks can turn to natural ways of achieving their goals (gender
selection to conceive baby girl or boy as well as twinning) without running the risk of
resorting to possibly genetically damaging medical procedures.
