2018.02.05 11,301

Having twins has its advantages. Of course, there is no denying the fact that having two babies together is a lot more burdensome than having one at a time. But imagine how you can avoid going through the pain of pregnancy one more time. If your thinking is along these lines and want to have a double bundle of joy, your expectations are fair enough. Did you know that you can actually make things work to get pregnant with twins? Yes, it sounds incredible, but there are certain ways that may be of help to you.



Factors That Determine The Chances Of Having Twins


As said earlier, identical twins could only happen by sheer chance. But, certain factors could influence the chances of having fraternal twins.


Family history / Heredity

If you are a twin or twins run in your family, you are more likely to have twins. However, if your partner has a twin or twins run his family, it is not going to have any influence on your chances.

It all depends on you because you produce the eggs. If you or your mother is a twin, the probability of twins is high. You will have higher chances of hyperovulation (releasing two eggs during ovulation process). A few specific genes combine with hyperovulation and thus increase the frequency of non-identical twins


Ethnictiy/Race

Your origin also has a strong influence on your chance of having twins. Asians and Hispanics have fewer chances of producing twins, whereas Africans are highly probable, followed by Europeans.


Type of Body (height/weight)

Yes, this is strange, but taller women are more likely than shorter ones to conceive with twins. Also, heavier women have higher chances than thinner women.Women who have a well-nourished diet are at a higher probability of producing twins than those who have a reduced and low-fat diet.

A research study published by the American College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology states that the increasing rates of multiple births are due to increased rates of obesity. It found out that women with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 and above are more likely to produce twins. This holds true for only fraternal twins 


Maternal Age

Your chance of having twins or more babies increases with advancing age. Women above 35 years produce more FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) than younger women . This hormone allows the ovaries to release eggs for ovulation. The higher the hormone levels, the more are the eggs released during ovulation, thereby resulting in multiple fetuses.


Best Ways To Get Pregnant With Twins Naturally


If you want to try for twins the natural way without resorting to any treatments, try these options out:


Consume Dairy Products

According to research by Dr. Gary Steinman et al., eating dairy products is correlated to multiple pregnancies (6). Women who eat dairy have five times more chances to produce twins than women who do not consume these products. Some scientists believe that it is not just the dairy products, but also growth hormones present in milk (dairy from growth hormone-treated cows) help in having twins.


Stop Birth Control Pills

Birth control pills play a pivotal role in helping you conceive twins naturally. When you stop taking the birth control medication, your body takes some time to find its natural rhythm. It causes the body to have a higher hormone flux, than normal. If you try conceiving around this time, there will be a greater chance of having twins .


Pregnancy While Breastfeeding

If you still breastfeeding your toddler and get pregnant again, you are more likely to have twins. Your body produces a higher percentage of prolactin during the breastfeeding phase, and it increases your chances of conceiving twins.


Have Your Partner Eat Zinc Rich Foods

Foods rich in zinc like green leafy vegetables, oysters, bread, and seeds stimulate sperm production. It, therefore, improves the probability of fertilizing more than one egg.


Space Between Pregnancies

To elevate your chances of conceiving twins, have enough gap between your pregnancies. Quick conceptions hamper your chances of having twins.



Best Sex Positions To Conceive Twins


Though having twin babies is not in your hands, some sexual positions may increase your probability of having them.


Side by Side

It is also known as a doggy style where the woman will position by bending her knees, and her partner will penetrate from behind. In this position, the couple will be able to conceive twins as the cervix will be more approachable to the sperms.


Standing Up Position

It is also another doggy style where there is a chance of deep penetration.


Missionary Position

The man-on-top position helps the sperm to enter the egg easily, and it is the best sex position to produce twins.


Rear Entry Position

Here, the partner enters from behind, and in this position, the sperm remains close to the cervix of the woman.



Fertility Herbs For Twins


There are also certain herbs which help improve fertility, in particular with the conception of twins or multiples.


Evening Primrose Oil

Primrose oil is famous for its fertility boosting property from centuries. It helps in promoting healthy production of the cervical mucus that flows in the reproductive tract. Healthy mucus allows the sperm to survive for longer days within the ovary. It is advisable to take evening primrose oil at the peak time of menstruation and continue it up to ovulation.


Licorice

This sweet herb regulates the menstrual cycle and makes it easier for you to keep track of your ovulation days. Licorice helps in controlling the hormonal level of testosterone and estrogen, thus supporting the entire process of conception.


Flaxseed Oil

Flaxseed oil possesses a great ability to boost fertility in women and increases your chances of conceiving twins naturally. It regulates the hormonal production and maintains a regular menstrual cycle. It ensures a proper balance of progesterone and estrogen hormones.


Sweet Cassava

It is the most efficient herbal supplement, known for its effect on fertility. It increases your chances of having twins by its hyper-ovulation property. The potent phytoestrogens present in cassava help in regulating the female hormones.


Black Cohosh

This traditional herb can effectively alleviate the symptoms associated with pre-menstrual syndrome (PMS) and menopause. The herb strengthens the uterine muscles and is beneficial for women with weak pelvic floors (16). Though it does not directly increase the chances of having twins, it improves fertility rates, which may increase the probability of twin babies.


Vitex (Chaste Tree Berry)

Vitex helps in treating females suffering from polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The herb helps in regulating the hormone levels, reduces the levels of androgens that contribute towards PCOS and helps in promoting healthy ovulatory function. Vitex helps in the prevention or reduction of ovarian cysts in females. It is useful in improving the probability of twin babies as there is a chance for the woman to double ovulate.


Maca Root

Maca root serves as an adaptogen and promotes healthy reproductive functioning in the female body. Maca root improves overall fertility in both men and women, thereby indirectly improving the chances of producing twins.


As we have mentioned above, all these are only attempts to get pregnant with twins. There is no sure-shot way to have twins. Try your luck with one or more of these methods.
