Conceiving twins!

[atomic sagebrush]

I personally like Women's One a Day because they have a nice level of a wide variety of nutrients, are affordable and easily available.

This was what I was taking when I conceived my twin pg.

Does Womens one a day sway boy or girl?

[Sarah4girl]

Any sort of vitamin supplement should be avoided when TTC a girl. Apart from folic acid/ folate

Just to clarify - Everyone needs to take folic acid or folate (folate is better but it is more expensive) regardless of how it might or might not sway and what they are swaying for. Folate/FA is the only nutrient proven to prevent birth defects when taken before conception.

Have you read that any particular month or season is better for TTC-twins? I heard that more are conceived during the summer months, June-July, because of the longer daylight hours. I haven't been able to confirm that though. What do you think?

I work with kids with special needs. There are a disproportionate number who are one of multiples. Just so you know it really does increase the chances of motor and speech delays. Not sure of the stats. Atomic?

@Sarah4girl Are a large number of those multiples from IVF/ fertility treatments -- if you have access to that data? My understanding is that IVF and reproductive technologies can increase the risk of birth defects and developmental delays. Premature birth is also a factor, and obviously that risk increases with twins. But healthy full term multiples are not at a statistically higher risk for these problems than their singleton counterparts, from my understanding.

I personally believe it is the other way around - it's the twinning that is risky (due to the prem. birth factor) and that makes IVF statistically linked to birth defects and developmental delays because more multiples are conceived via ART than naturally.

Healthy full term multiples is great when it happens, but you can't know when you get pg if you're going to be in that lucky group.
