Possibility of Twins?

Possibility of Twins?

So, here's the twin list:  My grandfather on my dad's side is/was an identical twin(his twin A passed away shortly after birth).  I,myself, am an identical twin.  My husband's dad is a fraternal twin, as was his grandmother on his dad's side.  My mother also told me, that I had an aunt on my grandmother's side(so, I guess a great aunt),who either was or had twins.  So, basically, with this twin lineage, how possible is it, that my husband and I will have twins??? I actually am one of those crazy people, who would love to have multiples.

twins is the luck of the draw really. we've had twins run rampant through our family (on both sides of my family actually...in fact i have fraternal twin brothers) and NOBODY in my generation had twins except for me. so yeah it's a possibility does it mean you will? nope. just .....depends.

do you want twins?

my understanding is that identicals are typically a fluke-  fraternal are often times the kind that run in families-  it probably is just luck of the draw,  but you probably have a much higher chance then people without twins in their family!
