In recent years, the birth rate of twins has increased dramatically. Scientists explain this fact by the fact that a large number of girls, starting from an early age, take contraceptives and hormonal drugs. Thus, women, while undergoing treatment for infertility and various diseases, stimulate the ovaries. At the same time, the possibility of conceiving twins increases.
How to eat to conceive twins
2 months before conception, you should start taking folic acid. This must be done daily. You must immediately stop smoking and drinking alcoholic beverages. It will only be better if fermented milk products are added to the daily diet.
In addition to dairy products, you need to eat yams. It stimulates the ovaries well. They are much more likely to release more than one egg during ovulation. Among the foods for this purpose are nuts, whole grains and eggs.
It is recommended that you include sweet potatoes in your diet. Investigating one tribe that feeds on sweet potatoes, scientists have concluded that this particular vegetable affects the appearance of a large number of twins among the indigenous people.
Psychology and genetics as factors in the conception of twins
One of the most effective ways to conceive twins is self-hypnosis. It is necessary to present yourself as a woman of 40 years old. The thing is that before the age of 30, the chance of getting pregnant with twins is 3%, and closer to 40 years, the same chance increases to 6%.
Genetics is practically the most important factor. If a woman had twins on the maternal side, then the chances of giving birth to twins increase.
If genetics does not contribute to this, and the idea of giving birth to twins has sunk so deeply, you can try to find yourself a husband who has twins in the family.
Physiological ways to conceive twins
The chances of having twins increase if the girl already has children. Some of the scientists refer to some overweight women after the birth of their first child.
It is easier for twins to become pregnant with those girls who are breastfeeding, and also do not have contraception after a previous pregnancy.
Medical methods
While taking hormonal or birth control pills, you should try to get pregnant right after you stop taking them. There is direct evidence that ovaries release more eggs as a result of treatment with certain medications.
Artificial insemination is currently considered the most effective method of conceiving twins. Thanks to the IVF procedure, several eggs are fertilized at the same time, which are immediately transplanted to the woman. The likelihood of having two babies in such a case is very high. About this procedure and preparation for it, it is necessary to consult with your attending gynecologist.
