How to make sure you have twins?

Question

I Have been with my hubby for three years, and we have finally decieded to have a baby and i have always wanted twins, i grew up baby sitting twins and i loved it. and all i want to know is...is there any way that it would up my chances of having twins? or a girl?

Answer 1

The only way I know of is to take fertility drugs b/c that can really up your chances of having more than one child, but be careful, b/c you can have a lot more than 2. If you've ever seen that show "John and Kate Plus 8" you'll know what I mean.

Answer 2

As far as having a girl or boy, the sperm determines the s*x.  Eggs only have the X chromosome, so it depends on whether and X or a Y sperm fertilizes the egg whether you get a girl (XX) or a boy (XY).  There are theories that you can increase your chances of a boy or girl by doing certain things.  Girl sperm is said to survive longer, so having s*x a day or two before ovulation helps if you want a girl.  And boy sperm die faster, so having s*x on ovulation day or the day after helps if you want a boy.  I've also read on webMD that certain positions are better for boy vs girl (doggy for a boy, missionary for a girl), but I don't really put much stock in that.

If twins do not run in either family, your chances of having twins naturally are pretty slim.  Fertility drugs can cause a woman to release more than one egg.  Or having IVF where the doctor "havests" several eggs and fertilizes them with your Hubby's sperm in a lab then implants them in your uterus.  But with both of these you run the risk of having more than 1 or 2.  You'd have to be prepared for the possibility of 3, 4, even 5 or more.  I would definately talk to your doctor before you start trying.

Best of luck!  And Baby dust to you and your hubby!
