Giving birth to twins is commonly associated with family history but people don’t realize there is so much that increase your chances of conceiving twins.
Here are some of the tricks you can use if you are interested in having twins:
1. Adding weight
According to a 2005 study published in Obstetrics & Gynecology, overweight women are more likely to give birth to twins. Likewise, tall women also have higher chances of giving birth to twins.
2. Consuming dairy products
According to a Long Island Medical Doctor known for his research on pregnant women and multiple births, women who consumed dairy products especially milk from hormone treated cows have a five times higher chance of conceiving twins.
3. Continued breastfeeding
If you want to have twins and are still breastfeeding, do not rush into weaning your little one just yet. According to a study conducted on twins, if you conceive when breastfeeding, your chance of conceiving twins is increased by nine times.
4. Try conceiving the moment you’ve stopped taking birth control pills
If you have been taking the pills for six months and then stopped, your body will need about two cycles to get back on track. This in turn sees you receive excess hormone stimulation. This consequently causes the release of more than one egg increasing your chances of having more than one of them fertilized.
5. Have a big family
This has been said to naturally increase a person’s chance of giving birth to twins. In other words, the more times you conceive, the higher your chance of conceiving twins is.
6. Conceive when you are older
Even though older women have low fertility rates, they are more likely to conceive twins. They have high levels of FSH which cause the release of more than one egg.
