I know it’s a long shot and to be honest i will be happy and so lucky to conceive either way but does anyone have any experience/ideas/thoughts on natural ways to increase the chance of conceiving multiples?

Any more likely as the female partner gets older.

Why on earth would you want to? I see a set of twins and the mere thought of having two babies/toddlers at once makes me hyperventilate. There’s a set of triplets at my DCs’ school. I practically have to cross the road when I see them so I don’t fall sobbing into their mother’s arms going, ‘How? HOW HAVE YOU COPED?’

Have a strong family incidence of multiples but I really think that that is it 🤷‍♀️ Not what you wanted to hear I’m sure. Why would you be wanting to deliberately do that anyway??

It might be a complete coincidence but I had acupuncture twice being finishing my period and ovulating. I fell pregnant with boy/girl twins. It was my fifth cycle of trying and I hadn’t had acupuncture before that.

Eat lots of yam...
I’ve heard that the phytoestrogens in yam may account for the high incidence of twin births in Yoruba women.
