How can I get twins?

Doctor 1

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 mother’s side increases this likelihood more than a family history on the father’s side. However, this only applies if conception takes place without the use of fertility treatments.

I'm kind of worried because my wife's pregnancy test at home came back positive, and when we got a urine HCG test done at the lab, it was positive too. The thing is, she's about 5 weeks along, but the ultrasound didn't show a gestational sac. Does this mean she's actually pregnant, or should we be concerned?

Repeat the scan at 7 weeks of gestation and observe,follow your Obstetricians advice.
