2 If you’re interested to finding out  how to get pregnant fast with twins  how to get twins naturally  how to increase chances of twins  will i have twins quiz The answer of all these such type of questions is same. Some factors may help.

3 The following factors are said to increase the chances of having twins

4 Have a History Do twins run in your family? If you have a mother, brother, sister, uncle or long lost cousin with multiples, you may wonder if you'll have them too. Sometimes twinning is hereditary, it's true. However, only fraternal (dizygotic) twins are influenced by heredity, and then only in some cases. If your mother or maternal grandmother was or had fraternal twins, you might have inherited a gene for hyper ovulation, increasing your chances of conceiving twins also.

5 Have a History

6 Grow Up: Wait Until You're Older Older mothers are more likely to conceive twins than their younger counterparts. It's thought that the body accelerates ovulation as the biological clock starts ticking faster. Almost 20 percent of mothers who give birth over the age of 45 have multiples. However, the risks also increase; older mothers have a higher rate of miscarriage and are more likely to experience problems such as gestational diabetes during their pregnancy. In addition, their babies are at higher risk for chromosomal abnormalities.

Almost 20 percent of mothers who give birth over the age of 45 have multiples. However, the risks also increase; older mothers have a higher rate of miscarriage and are more likely to experience problems such as gestational diabetes during their pregnancy. In addition, their babies are at higher risk for chromosomal abnormalities.

9 Folic Acid A study in Australia uncovered a correlation between women that conceived twins and folic acid supplements. According to the research, women who consumed folic acid before getting pregnant had a 40 percent or greater chance of conceiving twins. Unfortunately, there are also studies that contradict those results. But folic acids are still a good idea for pre-pregnancy. As a supplement, they can prevent neural tube defects.

10 Continue Breastfeeding If you already have a child, continue breastfeeding. A study concluded that women breastfeeding were nine times more likely to conceive twins compared to women who were not breastfeeding.

11 Birth Control pills If you were on birth control pills and stopped to conceive, this may be the best time to make a pair of babies. The body of a woman that's been taking the pills for at least six months has to wait for her hormones to begin regulating themselves, as opposed to the pills controlling them. There can be up to eight weeks for the system to correct itself. For twinning, the medical community considers this a benefit as too much hormone stimulation can cause ovaries to release an extra egg early in an ovulatory cycle or two. This means a greater likelihood of conceiving twins.

13 Seek Fertility Assistance Reproductive technology has dramatically increased the multiple birth rate. Drugs that stimulate ovulation can lead to a multiple pregnancy, and multiples can also result from in vitro fertilization. It's not just that multiple embryos are implanted in the mother, but there is also an unexplained increase in the number of monozygotic pregnancies among IVF patients. No ethical doctor would provide treatment if it wasn't warranted, so fertility assistance should only be sought out when necessary.

14 Consume Dairy Despite our argument above, there are as many studies that support consuming dairy products as there are that shoot it down. It is a fact that vegans and vegetarians are significantly less likely to have twins, which implies meat may play some part in twin conception. So the argument becomes is a regular diet of milk and dairy derived from hormone-treated cows a factor in twinning? We don't know. We would suggest you continue your regular diet and hope for the best!

16 Eat Wild Yams Speaking of diet, wild yams has a chemical that appears to overstimulate ovaries. This can result in more than a single egg release during ovulation. This data derives from a study done in a small town in Nigeria where the birth of twins was four times greater than the rest of the world. Researchers could only conclude diet played the greatest part, especially a cassava root the townspeople ate regularly, or wild yam.

17 Have More Children Build your family. Remember, larger families are more likely to conceive twins. That means, based on pure math, the more children you have, the greater your chances.
