What are the odds of having twins? ?

My husband is a twin, (he has a twin sister) and my grandmother had twins (my aunt and uncle). Does that increase the odds of me having twins?

    It's about 1 in 89 births unless you're taking fertility medications. There's less influence if twins are in the family on the father's side.

    The chances are one in two.  Either you will, or you won't.

    Rapture is a heresy. One must hide within a small group (10-12 people according to saint Seraphim of Sarov from Russia, 10-15 people group according to saint Gabriel Urgebadze from the country of Georgia) in order to escape the unforgivable mark of the beast. No documents; documents are from Satan; burn them (even documents of deceased relatives). No electronics once you hid so that you won't be tracked (even an old broken unplugged TV set from 1970's will show the infamous evil flying antichrist using Tesla's ether). [SaintVyacheslavKrasheninnikov] Mark of the beast is given with World Passport (grey plastic card with no name on it); antichrist will release prisoners / insane asylum people to help him mark everyone. Police will mark people on highways; foodstores will mark people who steal marked food (because marked food can only be swallowed by a marked person who has three strands of DNA instead of two). Reject vaccines, temperature scans, COVID tests (or similar), etc. Don’t go into UFO to be “healed” by evil demons; demons never do good.

    Source(s): First vaccine shuts off your immune system; second vaccine gives you diseases; third vaccine puts your immune system back and it will start fighting the diseases and will cause death. Saint Paisios from Mount Athos said that the devil wants to deceive the rich with freemasonry, poor with communism, and believers with ecumenism. Elpidios Vagianakis said that there will be seven “mark of the beast” vaccines; reject all of them! Documents are from Satan; burn all the documents that you can find. Electronics will be used to track you. Even old broken unplugged 1970 TV set will show the evil flying antichrist using Tesla's ether. Don’t go into UFO to be “healed” by evil demons; demons never do good; always pray the Jesus prayer or to saints who help right away (like saint Vyacheslav Krasheninnikov according to whom if you reject mark of the beast, then your direct ancestors go to heaven); forgive me.

    It is estimated that 1 in 250 natural pregnancies will naturally result in twins. While twin pregnancies can happen by chance, there are some factors that may increase your odds of having two babies at the same time. Let's learn about twins!

    The fact your husband has a twin makes no difference, but if there is a genetic tendency toward hyperovulation in your maternal line, it might increase your chances of having fraternal twins.

    Identical twins is caused by the single egg and sperm splitting.  There is nothing about being a twin or twins running in a family that increases the chances of identical twins.  It is more of a random accident.  

    Fraternal twins is usually caused by the woman releasing more than one egg and both eggs successfully fertilize and implant.  The man's sperm has NO IMPACT on the likely hood of fathering twins.  There is nothing his sperm can do to cause two eggs.  Twins on the father's side of the family means nothing toward the chances of his wife having twins.  So, what matters is sets of twins on YOUR side of the family because that MIGHT indicate that women in your family MIGHT release two eggs often enough at ovulation to make twins a possibility.Your husband being a twin does not increase YOUR chances of birthing twins - BUT - if you have a daughter with him - then the genetics for having twins can pass to the daughter from either one of you.  MEN CAN pass the genetic trait to their daughters - BUT a man being a twin would NOT increase HIS chance of fathering twins.  My husband has a brother and sister that are twins.  The sister never had twins and so far, none of her daughters have had twins.  The brother also never had twins - BUT - his DAUGHTER does have a set of twin boys.  (In my husband's family, several of the women have had twins or even triplets without fertility programs.  One of his aunts has two sets of twins and one set of triplets.  She always give birth to more than one at a time.)

    Twins seems to have better odds of getting twins.  Families that have twins in the family line also have an increase odds of getting twins.  

    With in vitro fertilization on the rise, odds of twins are increasing.
