What is my chances of having twins??

Question

My boyfriend is a twin 
My cousins are twins
My boyfriends cousin had twins

Answer

Depends on if any are fraternal or identical. Fraternal run in families. Identical are usually flukes. I’m an identical twin. My moms side has 36 sets including me. All fraternal but us I believe. I’ve been doing a lot of reading on it lately since I found out I’m pregnant. The chances for me being identical and having twins are the same for any person. But if I was fraternal then the chances are higher. From what I read, it’s the woman who determines twins not the man. Bc your body decides how many eggs it drops and then how many actually will attach. Just bc it runs in the mans family doesn’t mean that’s enough to have twins. It will be your body deciding that. They also say twins skip generations. This is not necessarily true. It was supposed to skip my mom but didn’t. There’s a lot of info on the web. My twin and I have been doing research for years on it just bc we wanted to know more about being a twin. Good luck if you end up having twins. Lol. Trust me it’s a lot and we can be handfuls! Were mirror identical meaning left handed and right handed. You won’t be able to tell for awhile after giving birth if they are fraternal or identical but there are tests they can do to determine if they share the same dna. If not then fraternal it is. Sorry for the long comment. But I seriously just read this like 2 days ago. Also if you do have them and they are identical I suggest finding a way to make sure you know which is which at birth otherwise you might swap by accident! Almost happened to us. Lol

Answer

I would say high... it runs in the family but on your side does it run in your blood related family or family that married into the family ... if it's blood related higher
