Pregnancy is a welcome condition for many women around the world. But individual families dream not only of the birth of a child, but also of babies of a particular gender, and sometimes even the appearance of several children at the same time. How to conceive twins in a natural way?

Why are twins born
The birth of twins is not a very frequent occurrence and accounts for only 2% of the total number of babies born.
A multiple pregnancy occurs when several ovules are released from the ovaries, which are fertilized by the sperm. In such cases, they speak of heterogeneous pregnancy, as a result of which heterosexual or same-sex children are born, who are similar to each other like ordinary brothers and sisters. Such twins are called "raznoyajtsovye", or "dizygotic."
The total number of twins is about 75% of the total number of twins born. For every 1,000 births, there are about 50 twins born.
It also happens that a cell fertilized by one sperm begins to divide in half after about a week after fertilization. As a result, identical twins who are called identical twins will be born. These children will be extremely alike. Interestingly, such twins have one fetal bladder, placenta and amniotic fluid for two.
These children are always same-sex, their blood type and Rh factor are also the same. The probability of conception of such twins is very small - about 0.035%.
Multiple pregnancy predisposition
How can a woman conceive twins?
There are two main natural factors that influence this event:
- Genetic disposition. As a rule, the main cause of multiple pregnancy is a hereditary predisposition. Often such a miracle of nature is attributed exclusively to the female line - twins appear in different generations of women of the same family.Attention! Genetic predisposition is characteristic exclusively for women who did not terminate the pregnancy. Previously performed abortion can destroy genetic plants.
- In a natural way. If there were no relatives in the woman’s family giving birth to twins or twins, a multiple pregnancy can be attributed rather to a happy accident. However, it often depends on a number of factors.
The latter include:
- Age features. According to studies, the likelihood of conception and birth of twins is very high in women aged 30 to 40 years. The main reason for this phenomenon - malfunctions of the reproductive system - during the cycle, not a single egg can form, and in the next - several at the same time.
- Breast-feeding. Past births and established lactation can also affect female reproductive health. A failure of the cycle and other factors can lead to the release of 2 eggs and, as a result, to the conception of several babies.
Note. Scientists have found that the likelihood of conception of twins is very high in women whose weight exceeds the norm. The reason for this is the excess production of estrogen in the body of full ladies, because this hormone is involved in ovulation and the release of several eggs.
How to conceive twins in a natural way: a calendar
Is it possible to become pregnant with doubles consciously or is this event solely the result of a happy event? Investigating this issue, doctors found that the ability of the body to reproduce two eggs occurs approximately once in 200 menstrual cycles. Thus, if conception occurs at the right time, the likelihood of twins increases.
Based on these data, a peculiar calendar table was compiled, based on which, there are chances to conceive boys, girls or twins. From the table you can track that often the reality of multiple fertility increases at the very beginning or at the end of the month. And only in the period from April to July is it permissible to conceive twins also in the middle of the month.
Tip. Still, relying on the conception calendar is still not worth it, since no date will be 100% favorable.
Doctors are sure - the chances of a multiple conception are great for women with a short menstrual cycle - up to 21 days. In this situation, it is best to track your cycle for several months, checking its regularity. The ideal moment for the conception of twins is a day before or during ovulation.
Factors that increase the likelihood of conception of two children
If you can’t naturally conceive twins or if there is no hope for such a method, you can take into account several factors that increase the chance of becoming parents of twins:
- ECO. To obtain the desired number of eggs during IVF, ovulation is stimulated, as a result of which several embryos can be grown. When replanting one embryo, not every implantation succeeds because attachment may not occur. Therefore, patients under 35 years old are planted 2 embryos, after 35 - three. This conception resembles a kind of lottery, because of the populated embryos, all or none can attach at once. The likelihood of conception of twins is only 20%
- Rebound effect. So called the process of ovulation as a result of the completion of hormonal contraceptives. The latter inhibit the work of the reproductive system of women, the ovaries function in turn in different cycles. Canceled contraceptives have a powerful stimulating effect on the female body, which releases a large amount of female hormones into the bloodstream.As a result, the ovaries are able to earn at the same time, forming several eggs at a time. But such a phenomenon is still considered spontaneous and it is rather difficult to track it.
Additional factors.
These include:
- Abnormal structure of the uterus. The main female reproductive organ can be doubled, and in some cases completely divided in two. This feature allows several eggs to gain a foothold and develop.
- Climate. Scientists also found that the occurrence of multiple pregnancies is largely influenced by the temperature and humidity of the climate. This explains why female ovaries function differently in different parts of the world, producing more or less twins.
Alternative medicine is not far behind science.
For those who prefer folk remedies in the process of solving problems with the body, it will be useful to find out some recommendations for conceiving twins:
- Keep track of the time of year. It is believed that in summer the chance of multiple fertility increases. During this period, the level of sex hormones of a woman rises, and her body is enriched with vitamins and nutrients.
- Introduction to the menu of meat and dairy products. Observations showed that vegetarians have a significantly lower chance of giving birth to twins.
No less relevant is the reception of decoctions of herbs. Women should pay attention to sage, boron uterus, and men - to ginseng and eleutherococcus.
Is it possible to predict gender
The conception of heterosexual children is very difficult to predict.
Potential parents who want to achieve this goal, experts advise to consider a number of factors:
- Conception time. Sperm include in the composition of female and male chromosomes, on which the gender of the baby depends. At the same time, male chromosomes are more active, but live no more than 24 hours. Chromosomes “girls” are more passive, but can maintain their vital activity for up to 5 days. To conceive twins of boys, you should take time for intimacy directly during ovulation. And in order to conceive girls, on the contrary, it is necessary to plan the proximity a few days before the release of the egg.
- Pose. Given all the same characteristics of chromosomes, it’s realistic to try to predict the gender of babies given a certain position during proximity. You can conceive a boy by choosing the poses that ensure the fastest sperm flow to the ovum, for example, “spoons”, “missionary”. For the conception of girls, it is better to stop at the position of "doggy style" (the man behind).
- Diet. To conceive boys, experts recommend eating bananas, meat soups, greens. Girls will not remain indifferent to sour-milk and seafood, walnuts.
The conception of twins is most often due to a genetic factor. However, doctors are sure - to predict a multiple pregnancy is difficult, but possible. For these purposes, a special calendar, diet and choice of poses for intimacy are suitable.
