How likely is it for me to have twins? My dad is a twin, and i have twin siblings

Question

just curious :)

Answer 1

The way I understand it is that it skips a generation and it's only through the direct female line. For example, my grandmother on my father's side is a twin. But I was told that my cousin who is female has a greater chance of having twins because her mom(my aunt) is the daughter of a twin (my grandmother). Hope this makes since :)

Answer 2

Funny you ask that cuz I always wonder the same thing.  My mom and my dad are both sets of twins!!  I'm pretty certain taht your chances are increased since you have twins in your family.  Good luck!!

Answer 3

The fact that your dad is a twin has nothing to do with it. If your siblings are identical then it also has nothing to do with it. If they are non-identical then you have a raised chance of having Non-identical twins. Nothing will raise the chance of them being Identical.

Answer 4

Usually it depends on the man and if he has twins in his family. I also heard that it sometimes skips generations.

Answer 5

my dad is a twin so far nobody else in my family has had twins yet

Answer 6

Answer 7
