Calling Mums with Twins.

[Sunshine 2010]

Hi, Just wanted to get any advise on what you Mums did to get your twins, did you eat anything in particular, or dtd close to Ovulation, how many times on the same day, or all through ovulation before after etc... I would so much like to increase my odds of having twins, but wondered if there were any sway methods out there!!! I am hoping to Sway Boy in the next few months.

There actually are ways of raising your odds of twins and I wrote an essay about it!

I conceived twins by taking vitex, high dose of folic acid (which you should do anyway for TTC blue) and getting pg when breastfeeding. I also have a family history of twins and was 38 years old.

The only way to get fraternal twins is by popping out more than one egg so no matter how you DTD or in what pattern, you NEED to hyperovulate the month you conceive in order to get twins.

Clomid is the most reliable way to conceive twins. http://genderdreaming.com/forum/show...hp?1191-Clomid

Good luck!!

What is considered high doses of folic acid?

[atomic sagebrush]

2000 mcg and up. I was taking 4000 mcg. Research indicates that higher levels of folic may not actually sway for twins, but that the higher levels of folic are needed so both twins can survive and develop properly.

I wonder if I am setting myself up for twins again lol

My grandmother had fraternal twins, and my second is a fraternal twin (we lost the twin at 8 weeks sadly).

I have been taking 5000mcg of folate (it was cheaper than me having to buy 500mcg tablets and having to take a few of those a day!).

I am 28 this month.. and so far am the fattest pre conception lol and would have to say am pretty well nourished haha

My one baby who survived was a boy but we don't know the gender of the other baby. I sort of suspect it was another boy because it was a placenta previa and most of them are boys, but not all of them are.

TTC, I don't think you need 5000 mcg of folate, if you want to dial it back to 4000 that is just fine. (oh I see it's one capsule??) YOu may want to split the pill into two halves and take one in the morning and one at night for best absorption, because you just pee out everything your body can't use right that minute.

Re: twins - I figure, twins doubles your chances at your DG, right??

At 8 weeks? did you find out that early?
