There are a few factors that may increase the likelihood:
-
Genetics: If there are twins in your family, especially on the mother's side, there may be a slightly higher chance of having twins. However, this is not a guarantee.
-
Age of the mother: Women over the age of 30, and especially those over 35, are more likely to release more than one egg during ovulation, increasing the chances of fraternal twins.
-
Number of pregnancies: Women who have had multiple pregnancies may have a slightly higher chance of having twins.
-
Race and ethnicity: Rates of twinning can vary among different ethnic groups, with some groups having a higher likelihood of having twins.
-
Diet and nutrition: Some studies suggest that diets rich in certain nutrients may increase the likelihood of having twins, but these findings are not conclusive.
It's important to note that many factors influencing the likelihood of having twins are beyond an individual's control, and attempting to manipulate them could have unintended consequences. It's always advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for guidance on family planning and fertility.
Commonly prescribed fertility medications like Clomiphene and gonadotropins can enhance the likelihood of conceiving twins
