I am a twin (fraternal-I have a twin brother). I also have a set of fraternal twin brothers. I had a set of fraternal twin girls-as well as 2 singletons. We're on the fence about trying again for another. I suppose there's a good chance of having another set of twins-which might change my mind.

Anybody else have lots of twins run in the family? Just wondering my chances and statistics for more multiples. Thanks
I don't have statistics but fraternal twins can run in the family by having a history of double ovulating. It sounds like you might have a higher chance of having fraternal twins than the average person, but then you might not. I wouldn't mind having twins again. Would you really not want twins again?
