The most common ways to conceive twins

Natural ways to conceive twins
As mentioned earlier, some families are genetically predisposed to the birth of twins.First of all, collect an anamnesis( history) of a kind and sensibly assess your chances.It would be superfluous to consult a geneticist who can give you good advice.

You can help you get a twins:
- Taking care of your health.First of all, stop smoking and drinking alcoholic beverages;
- The first cycles after the rejection of contraceptives.The maximum production of hormones occurs after the termination of the use of contraceptives.After the first or second cycle of menstruation, the body restores the production of hormones, and the chances of giving birth to two children will decrease immediately.
- The spring period.About him already said above.
- Changing the diet can also have some impact on conception: chicken eggs, walnuts and sour-milk products will fill your body with new forces and vitamins.
- Repeated delivery.According to statistics, a couple of children are more likely to be born in families who already have one child.
- Regular use of folic acid for at least 3 months in a row stimulates egg production and maturation.
- Hormonal surge after 30 years.Compared with 20-year-old girls, in women 30-40 years the probability of having a twin is twice as high
- A small break between births.
- Breastfeeding and lack of contraception also works to fulfill the desire.
- Use of hormonal drugs to stimulate ovulation or in the treatment of infertility.
- "If you really want to, you can fly to space."Scientists have long proven that the idea is material and if a woman does not just want to get pregnant with twins, but also imagine realistic pictures of her life with two children, most likely, it will happen!
Artificial methods
If you do not want to risk and rely on nature and your strength, it's worth paying attention to artificial family planning methods.
These include IVF and the stimulation of ovulation.
ECO( in-vitro fertilization)
The IVF method consists in fertilizing an egg outside the mother's body and then "implanting" it into the uterine cavity.
Most often this method is used in cases where the couple is not able to conceive of the baby.Doctors usually fertilize several eggs at once, because not all of them will be viable.The method does not give 100% guarantee, but the chances are incredibly high.
Ovulation stimulation
This method is used both for the normal menstrual cycle and for anovulatory diseases .
If your doctor is confident that you are able not only to conceive twins, but to endure it, he can prescribe a course of drugs that cause the ovaries to produce more mature eggs.
Important: self-designation and uncontrolled use of these drugs can cause irreparable harm to the body and take away the opportunity to become the mother of even one child!
For diseases that complicate the complete absence of ovulation( anovulation), drugs are prescribed to "awaken" the female body.They contain a special FSH hormone( follicle-stimulating hormone).
After passing the full course of treatment, in the first ovulation, the probability of maturation of two eggs at once is extremely high.
How to affect the gender of twin kids
There are a lot of methods for influencing the sex of a child, but not all of them work in the case of the desired twins.
The most popular, although not having a serious evidence base, are collected for convenience in the comparative table:
methods | Boys | Girls |
posture Selection | postures with deep penetration | Missionary posture shallowpenetration |
conception time | During ovulation | 3-4 days before ovulation |
Power | Kolbwaist products, meat, yeast baking, black chocolate products high content of salt | use of honey, jam, sugar, various herbs and spices |
Theory blood youth |
more young blood from his father | more young blood in the mother |
Conclusion
popular forums on the topic of future mothers always causes a huge amount of feedback and advice.
Please note: never use the methods suggested by "knowledgeable people" without consulting your doctor!If some do not do any harm, others may simply deprive you of the joy of motherhood for years to come!
It should also be understood that twins are not twins.And if there are many ways to push nature to the appearance of twins, the twins appear from one egg, and doctors still do not understand what factors contribute to this.
And most importantly - even if you did not get pregnant with the desired twin, do not get upset!In any case, pregnancy for the female body is a significant burden, and with a double portion of such work is difficult to cope with.
Moreover, motherhood happiness consists not in the number of children, and the extent of the love that you can give your long-awaited miracle.
