How likely am I to have twins? My grandmother is one of twins and she has twin siblings and they have twin children??

Are they identical or fraternal?

@HappyintheHills fraternal

Not sure if it skipped your Mum if it’s still likely or not.

Any of your aunts and uncles have twins ? Your Mums sisters ?

Even if not I think it’s still possible you may carry the right gene(s).

@Fishfingersandwichnocheese no one else that I know of has twins but somewhere on my dads side of the family but pretty far up the line I think

Think it’s still possible even if most recent was your grandmother but I’ve no idea how likely vs a mother/aunt with twins.

Sorry !

Hubby has twins in his family and I have twins, triplets and a set of quads in mine.

Scan only showed one at 6 weeks but could be more lol

Both my fraternal and maternal grandmothers had fraternal twins. Between them and me was about 60 single pregnancies. I had fraternal twins.

It's remote.
Similar case in my family. No twins since grandparents.
