How can I get twins?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A woman has a higher chance of having twins if she conceives with the assistance of fertility treatment or is aged 35 years or over.A woman has a slightly higher chance of having twins if she has a family history of twins. A family history of twins on the motherâs side increases this likelihood more than a family history on the fatherâs side. However, this only applies if conception takes place without the use of fertility treatments.

I'm really worried and need some advice. On April 5th, my boyfriend fingered me, and I'm scared because I think he might have had precum on his fingers, which I've heard can lead to pregnancy. Thankfully, I got my regular period on April 10th, but I'm still anxious. Is there any chance I could still be pregnant even after getting my period that month?
