Understanding Twin Conception
- Twins can occur naturally as fraternal (dizygotic) or identical (monozygotic). Fraternal twins result from two separate eggs being fertilized, while identical twins come from one egg splitting.
-
Factors Influencing Natural Twin Conception
- Genetics, maternal age (30s and above), and certain ethnic backgrounds can increase the likelihood of twins.
-
Lifestyle and Dietary Considerations
- Consuming dairy products and maintaining a healthy weight may slightly boost the chances of twins.
-
Medical and Family History
- A family history of twins, especially on the maternal side, can influence twin conception.
-
When to Consult a Specialist
- If seeking personalized advice, consult a fertility specialist or obstetrician.
-
Important Notes and Cautions

I'm a 37-year-old woman who's had four abortions could this affect my sexual health or libido in the long run? I also had family planning surgery after the last abortion could frequent abortions have damaged my genital organs?
In most cases, a history of four abortions, even with a subsequent family planning surgery, is unlikely to significantly impact sexual health or libido in the long run. However, individual experiences can vary.

I'm 5 weeks pregnant and I'm a bit worried because I did two beta HCG tests 48 hours apart, but the numbers didn't double. I also had a vaginal scan that showed the yolk sac, but they couldn't see the fetal pole yet. My cervix length is 3.5 cm and they mentioned a single intrauterine gestation with an MSD of 5.9 mm. Im just really anxious to knowdoes this mean I'm pregnant or not?
Yes, you are pregnant, as a yolk sac and a single intrauterine gestation have been visualized. However, the absence of a fetal pole and a suboptimal rise in beta HCG may indicate a need for close follow-up. A repeat scan in 7-10 days is recommended to confirm viability and check for the fetal pole.
