My ob said no because they weren't ferternal. But my regular doctor said yes because my body knew I could carry them.
I wouldn't want to be treated less aggressively because of a potential multiple. I have had difficulties concieving as funny as it sounds from someone with 6 kids. I have diabetes and am a bit over weight.

Identical twins are a little more likely with fertility treatment and particularly with PGD but they are still rare. The fact that you already have one set may make your chances a wee bit higher but the overall risk is still VERY low.
