    I don't think there is, it's usually a genetic trait. I had a twin pregnancy and lost one but my daughter survived and was born healthy. There were several sets of twins all down my mother's line so it wasn't completely unexpected.

    If you have twins in your family (no matter how remote) there is a chance that you could conceive them but I don't think vitamins or diet will help.

    I always thought there is no special way for us to conceive twins as it depends on our family history, but after reading your question, I went and searched for it, I was quite surprise to see a long list of search result. You can search for them and hopefully you will get your prayers granted soon.

    Not many look forward to having twins. Cute that you are hoping to get twins and would do things right But I do not know if there are things that one does right to get twins (lol)

    Yes, when I was young, I used to think it's so nice to have twins as we only have to go through the pregnancy and labor once and have two kids. When I was pregnant and after I became a mom, I realized it's really very challenging to carry and take care of two babies at the same time, as taking care of one is not easy too. I used to wonder how to breastfeed twins, and found out this from a friend who breastfed her twins. :)

    I agree with most of you that twin pregnancy runs in the blood. If you have a genetic predisposition for twin pregnancy, then you are more likely to have it too. I don't believe that there are any supplements or vitamins that could make you get pregnant with a twin even if a lot were advertised. I just want to share a funny superstitious belief we had that eating twin bananas would lead to twin pregnancy. However, as I've said, it is just a myth. Maybe prayers can help you more into having a twin blessing!

    Sorry to break it to you that nothing of such manner would make you get pregnant with twins. Twins are basically from ones genetical encodings, if it's not from either of both parents genetic make up, there is no way for them to have twins.

    This is the first time I've heard of such a desire - to have twins. From what I had read in medical magazines, the workup of fertility of a woman has a high probability of producing twins or even more in multiple births. The fertility pill can cause the ovary to produce excess eggs that has the chance of being fertilized by the sperm cells. So if you really want to have twins, I guess you can check with your ob-gyne specialist for the fertility pill.
