LONG:

Ok, so i know in general twins are typically hereditary and theres nothing specifically “natural” you can do to conceive them and that only an ultrasound will confirm.

That being said... I was reading about my supplements I was taking for my prolapse to ensure they were ok while pregnant because we were about to ttc (calcium magnesium) when i stumbled across some articles that listed potential links to conceiving a twin pregnancy. I got a little freaked out because I had a fairly good amount of them.

So curious to know if anyone has found this to be true for them... here are the ones I have:

- breastfeeding when conceived

- taking calcium/mag/zinc supplement

- taking folic acid (prenatal at 800mcg)

- vit d (only saw one article with this one though)

- having multiple kids (this is my third pregnancy)

- taller than average (I’m not convinced, I’m only 5’6” but articles were saying above 5’5” has greater chance)

Circumstantial I know, however I also ovulated earlier than i normally do. I get ovulation pain and was tracking with opk and bbt so I know when I ovulate. Then got the same pain on the opposite side a few days later, thought it was implantation but I read that’s way too early and got my implantation dip at 6dpo (I know this isn’t necessarily implantation either - just thought it could be a correlation). And i know you supposedly can’t ovulate two days apart but I read another twin mom had that happen. Anyways, Got my bfp at 9dpo so that coincides with the dip.

So now I’m a little freaked out. I had a dream we found out it was twins last night, but that could be just because I’m wondering if it is. I hightly doubt it but I haven’t been able to shake the feeling lol

Anyone experience anything like this? Thanks for reading if you got this far 😂
