I didn't know where else I could ask this but it's just a simple question about the possibility of having twins.
My girlfriend and I always wondered if we have a possibility of having twins since my mother is a twin. I don't know how it passes down but is there a possibility that we could have twins with it running in my family?
i'm not sure if it would only work for a female or if the male can carry the trait also. i'm unsure if it only carries on through women or male. I would assume only female since the egg splits but just want to know.

Apparently women who have a fraternal twin are 2.5 times more likely to give birth to fraternal twins. So yeah I think you're right, it won't effect your own chances of twins, seems to only be a female thing.
It's only a female thing. It's either that her egg will split in two or she will drop more than one egg during ovulation. Every person in your family ever could be twins and it would have no effect on you and her having twins

i know a woman who was a twin, her mother was a twin and she had a set of twins
she got pregnant with another set but got an abortion-tube tie combo because she didn't want 5 kids

look it up, shitlord
if you really want twins just have her run clomid and conceive then. or do IVF.

no. the inheritable degree of twins is purely from the mother because its about eggs, not sperm. that being said twins are on the rise and its certainly possible for your gf to have them.

Fraternal twins are solely on the mother.
Identical twins are from the fathers side.
I've been over this because my friend has twins and triplets.

Yes, twins are genetic. The nazis tried to crack the code but couldn't.

Incorrect. That's not how eggs work
