Conceiving twins!

I've heard/read soy sways girl and twins. Folic acid is said to increase odds of twins. Like extra folic acid. And lastly, it's not very popular nor have I found outstanding result with it, but cassava root is supposed to increase odds of twins too.. But that can be taboo for some people. Since there's not a whole lot of research on it. But if you google it, it seems to be popular for people who want to try for twins. If you take the right dosage far enough ahead of ttc, it's supposed to cause hyperovulation much like clomid. It may delay you're period/ovulation though. It did for me by 4 days or so. I'm trying all this though for twins. Figure it can't hurt. Though I want a boy so I'm not doing the soy. But I am taking cassava and snacking on cassava chips. And taking a lot of folic acid daily. So I'll let you know if it works :) haha shooting for the stars. We make our first attempt in October

I thought soy swayed boy?

Studies indicate the extra folic may not actually up odds of twins but may very well help both twins to stay stuck (many twin pregnancies end with one twin not making it). Def. recommend more like 2000-4000 mcg folic or folate for anyone trying for twins

Old school sway tactics say soy sways blue. Newer evidence indicates that it may sway pink and aside from that, soy intake may cause birth defects in boy genitals and thus I prefer blue swayers avoid if poss

We are getting pretty good results just with our regular pink sway. We have a surprising amount of twins here even among the moms who are NOT on Clomid. We don't know why, but just so you're aware.

I have SCOURED this site for twin sways or sways that have resulted in twins! Interestingly enough (to me anyways as I usually to not drink at all) quite a few of the ladies had a couple of glasses of wine or something to drink a couple times a week. Now it could be completely coincidently but it came up enough times that I have added it to my sway :)

Also agree on the folic acid!

I did try vitex Jan-March but found it wasn't helping to regulate my cycles so I dropped it and am now on clomid *fingers crossed!* oh! And I also dropped cassava after the first month lol I found the cassava chips awful and I couldn't bring myself to eat the potato I bought from an ethnic store that the sales lady swore would give me twins just like the African tribe. I did seriously consider buying the supplements but I could not find a reputable source and overall, I still wanted my sway to remain pink. (Plus the deciding factor was that of all the sways that resulted in twins, I believe, none of the moms were taking a cassava supplement)

I think Atomic is right and that for whatever reason, overall the recommendations for a girl sway are twin friendly!

:agree: Clomid is the best thing for twins, I am not convinced cassava does anything!

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post a question on these Sticky Posts or if I need to create a new post. I'm sorry if this is in the wrong place. I'm am currently planning how to sway for twins. I plan to start TTC again in December so I have about 6/7 months to plan. My question is, is there anything I could be doing now to encourage hyper-ovulation? I am getting my body into as best shape as I can and am improving my diet to help encourage a healthy pregnancy.

Thank you very much for your time.

No please do post in these stickies! It helps everyone to keep all the questions in as few threads as possible so you don't have to open and close a bazillion threads to get the info you want.

The BEST way to get twins is Clomid and to a lesser extent Femara. All the other things are simply unreliable for twinning.

Full fat dairy, gaining a bit of weight, take a prenatal/higher dose folate may help, but for your best chance, the Clomid/Femara.

Thank you very much :)
