if you've had non id twins once, whats the chances of having them again? is it about 1 in 14?

[sadsquirrel]

ive read different stats on different sites

just wondered what your thoughts were?

depends on family history ..

My consultant tols me - for us it would be more like 1 in 4

I have had non id twins
I am a non ID twin
both grandmothers were no id twins........

Can only tell you from my own experience, as a non id twin, only set of twins on either side of the family ever ! my younger brother is a singleton. we all have children and we've only had singletons, all having a boy first !

I have 2 sets of non-id twins. No twins in my family what so ever!!

I had 4 singles and then my first set in 2001...so i was 27. Had second set when i was 30.

Sorry don;t know any statistics.

EIGHT?

I know! there was only meant to be 4 really. Two accidents later.... .

ok thanks just have to wait and see then realy

We were told 80% chance of another set of twins so hubby had the snip

Chances of non-ID twins in the general population is 1 in 80.

If you have had one set you are more likely to have another but I don't know what the actual odds are.

I was in hospital having mine with a nice lady having her second set of non id twins, 18month gap between them. I now understand 'that look' in her eyes.

At my six week check after having my non-ID twins the doctor started chatting about contraception, adding that my chances of another set of non-Id twins were 1 in 16. I was too stunned to ask how he reached these figures.

I have non-id twins, as does my nan (mother's side). A doctor at he hospital did remark that there could be a good chance of having twins again considering they are in my family, were my children and I'm in my 20's.

Is it just the higher chance of releasing more than one egg a month?

was meant to say first children
