two times?
- In 1999 I had a mis carriage. There were extreme complications & when I had my d & c, they realized that I had miscarried twins. Talk about a horrible time. We knew we were preganant but not with twins! It was terrible. Fast forward to 2001. I was on the pill, broke foot, antibiotics.....well antibiotics interfers with birthcontrol just FYI ; ). Anyway, I go to the doc because I cant stop throwing up, probabaly just a stomach bug right? WRONG....I was preggers with twins again. They are the cutest 8 year old today!!!

Ovarian Cyst- blessing in disguise
- I had a very large ovarian cyst that was supposed to be removed after the birth of my son- but the radiologist misread the ultrasounds and led us to believe the cyst went away on it's own. Then I got pregnant with twins and the cyst was back bigger than ever- and kept growing during the pregnancy- the dr insisted it be removed during 2nd trimester- when they removed it he said it was so large it had completely flattened one ovary and fallopian tube- so he concluded that that ovary had not been functioning for some time and that the cyst had been there for awhile not new since the twin pregnancy. So I think this caused my one good ovary to kick into overdrive and release extra eggs- leading to the twins.

mother father...doesnt matter
- I know that saying it has nothing to do with daddy is wrong. I have no twins in my side of the family...none at all. My boyfriend however has a history of multiples in his family. We had twins. All thanks to his family, not mine. We were blessed with a son and a daughter, and they will be 1 in two weeks!

always get two
- I LOVE dogs and everytime we get one, we get a litter mate at the same time. I always get two no matter what, hence the reason we have 6 dogs currently. I always just knew I would have twins. I knew I was pregnant 2 weeks after and I knew it was twins when we took my blood at the doc's and the levels were HIGHER than they should have been. It was confirmed by two heartbeats at 7wks. I now have 10mo old twin girls who are the polar opposite of eachother. I am enjoying every minute of it. Though it is the most trying thing I have EVER tried to do.

Why is the question!
- I have fraternal twin boys. My husband has identical twin sisters. My paternal cousin has fraternal boys. They were my fourth pregnancy. All together I have five children. I was breastfeeding an 8 month old when I got pregnant. There are so many reasons why, but not knowing the definitive reason is driving me mad! The day I found out I was having twins was the happiest day of my life. I also popped out right after I found out. Very happy to report also that I had a completely drug free natural delivery with the boys being born 15 min. apart. They'll be six mos. and are still exclusively breastfed. Draining but worth it. Twins are amazing!

Just found out..
- I just saw 2 heartbeats this morning on my ultrasound.. I am an ultrasound tech and had no idea that I was the kind of person who would have twins.. My mothers great grandfather was a twin and he had a set of twins.. Also, My grandmother had a set of twins.. So, I suppose I was destined, but it didn't even cross my mind.. I do believe it comes from the female side though.. Women determine number and men determine gender.. That is what the books say and that is what I believe to be true.. I think it is just coincidence that people have them and it runs in the males side of the family and not theirs.. It has to start somewhere right.. Scared, yet excited.. We did it on the first try and these will be our first children.. Hard to believe

I think twins run in families
- My husbands grandmother was a twin, My husband was a twin, he and his exwife had a set of twins and his daughter had a set of twins. So I firmly believe the father does have something to do with it.

Didn't Run in the Family
- I had a singleton baby and 15 weeks later got pregnant again. I think my hormones were out of whack and I hyper-ovulated. Twins do not run in my family at all. Also,I didn't know it at the time but I had been eating a lot of sweet potatoes and I've heard that increases fertility. So I don't know if it was the sweet potatoes or the out of whack hormones that did it.
