I am having twins...I really don't know how it happened.  The only thing I can think of is that I had a m/c 4 weeks before I conceived...so maybe I hyper-ovulated to catch up.  I never had a period in between, but we weren't trying.  When I thought I ovulated which was two weeks post m/c...I used predictor strips that came back +, we used protection in order to prevent so I could give my body time to heal.  The only time we did have unprotected sex was in the heat of the moment 2 weeks after that....and BAM...must have been fate! I have no idea, but I truly do feel blessed!!!  My mom was also adopted, and knows most of her biological family history, and as far as she knows--No twins.  I do have to say that all of this does seem a bit overwhelming, b/c I also have a three yr old son, and I think it would be a task bringing home one baby...let alone two.  Finding out I was pg was a really big shock, but finding out there was two is a jaw dropper...the doc just about had to peel my dh off the floor...LOL! Whatever is in God's plan for you will happen!  God Bless and Good Luck TTC!!!

twins do run in my family as well. even though we've only had i think two sets of identical twins and that was with the first of our family in the 1800's. (how my family keeps track of that i don't know but ohhhh my grammy was SOOO Super organized and the uber researcher) the twin "gene" does skip a generation in my family but my dad and his...2nd wife were on fertility treatments and had "the boys". i'm not sure if that counts. but yeah fertility treatments definately up your chances...i've never heard of the yam thing though. that's pretty interesting!

Hello everyone! My husband and I decided we want another child. I'm really praying for TWINS! I'm a twin my self and recently had my IUD taken out. I heard that Being a twin and recently getting off birth control my chances are really high. Can anyone give me anymore information on this or is that wishful thinking!
