Things You'll Need:
- Dairy products
- Yams/sweet potatoes
-
Step 1
Be familiar with your family history. Twin births tend to run higher in certain blood lines than others. It is also know that twins tend to skip a generation. So if your grandparents had twins, there is a good chance that you will be able to conceive twins as well.
-
Step 2
Put on a few extra pounds. Women that are a few pounds overweight are more likely to give birth to twins. However, don't stuff yourself to a point where you are unhealthy. This will only decrease your chances of having twins.
-
Step 3
Eat a diet high in dairy products. Dairy has been shown to increase twin conceptions by 7 times the normal rate.
-
Step 4
Add wild yams to your diet. Studies show that cassave, a type of sweet potato or yam is a form of progesterone which is a hormone involved in the female menstrual cycle. The skin of these yams are believed to contain a chemical that causes hyperovulation.
-
Step 5
Wait until you are in your mid to late 30's. Studies show that women in this age range are more likely to conceive twins naturally.
-
Step 6
Have a lot of kids. No Ocotomom stuff, but the more kids you have, the greater your chances of conceiving twins are mathematically.
