Question...I'm so confused... So I can't have twins because it doesn't run in my family, it only runs in my fiances? Even though, both of his parents have a twin? Help... LoL

If your able of having twins, depends on YOUR ovaries..if they produce more than 1 egg, you get twins..or, if there's a 'natural mistake' you get identical twins..but the chance of identical twins are the same for everyone, because it's a 'mistake' when a conceived egg splits..When YOUR mum or grandmother had fraternal (2 eggs) twins, it is possible that that (2 eggs) is being passed down on to you, as it lies in your genes werther your ovaries produce 1 or more eggs...So your fiance's family have nothing to do with it, because sperm has NOTHING to do with conceiving twins kwim?

your=you're,and if your fiance had been a girl, there wou'l've been a greater chance of have twins, as it could've been passed down on 'her' kwim?
