| Twins or More Just when we thought having one baby was tricky enough, mums to multiples often have extra challenges with two or more babies of the same age. If you are a mum to twins or more, this is where you can exchange experiences and support with others. |

The chances of conceiving twins on an IVF transfer compared to natural conception is about 30% better, I believe.
That doesn't mean you have a one in 3 chance of having twins. It means you're 30% more likely to have twins than someone trying naturally. I believe that the natural fraternal twin conception rate is about 1 in 60 pregnancies (but don't quote me).
So going by that statistic, if this cycle is successful, you would have just over a 1 in 20 chance of carrying twins, if my math is correct (and I was never that good at math!).
Though I have to qualify that statistic by also mentioning that twin rates vary according to age, embryo grade, clinic success rates etc. So to say 1 in 20 is actually quite arbitrary, as well.
So I guess the moral of the story is: your chances of having twins are increased by doing IVF, but you're more like NOT to have twins than to have twins.

Hi Mumofsix,
Well I had 1 day 6 blast and got twins so to have 2 I guess is a high chance of both taking. Of cause everyone is different.
When I was on the 2 week wait I cheated and did a HPT and it came up with in seconds I didn't have time to put the stick down. I think I did it 3 days before my BT.
Good luck I know the 2 week wait can be hard.
