Tips from multiple mummies...please

2016 · Oct 20th, 2009, 09:49 AM

I would also love to have twins and wondered if any of you lucky mums-to-be have any tips for increasing my chances naturally. I don't have twins in our families, am not on fertility treatment, am under 35, and this would be my first pg after early ectopic (tube saved)...so I don't statistically fancy my chances! Anyway, I just need something to focus on other than the loss right now. I have heard eating wild yam and/or crushed linseed is supposed to make you more fertile. Any ideas (no matter how wacky) would be appreciated.

Wishing you all H&H multiple pregnancies!

I heard from a twin mad friend that eating yams may help, being older helps, taking folic acid before getting pregnant can help, hmmm think thats all I can think of. Will have to ask her for more tips lol xxx

I have twin boys and the reason my doctor thinks that there was two (just a hunch) was that I was VERY inconsist with my birth control pills. Birth control prevents your ovaries from producing any eggs, and when you are inconsistent with that, the ovaries will frequently spit out two eggs if you suddenly stop taking the pill. This isn't guaranteed of course, and probably not recommended by your doctor as your hormones could go hay wire, but honestly, that's why I have twins today! Get on the pill, take it infrequently for a few months, skip pills, and then suddenly stop taking it...it could work for you too! (Not that I was trying to have twins, but that's how it worked for us!)
