    If you have a set of twins that are identicle are chances for second set higher with treatments

    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.
