Hi, my name is Veronica Baragas, with mywigglesandgiggles.com, and I'd like to share with you why people have twins, so in some cases, you can have one egg released and fertilized, and at that time, it splits into two, especially when you have identical twins from the same egg. In some cases when you have fraternal twins, it's when you release two eggs, and they're both fertilized, so you have two different eggs from the beginning, and both of them are fertilized, is when you have fraternal twins. In some cases, some people can go to your fertility doctor, and take certain supplements that help the release of more than one egg at a time, so there's some pills you can take, to help naturally produce twins, or if your body naturally releases two eggs at a time. Those are called fraternal twins, or you have one egg that's already fertilized, and splits into two, which you have your identical twins. Definitely do some more research, if you're interested in producing twins, or talk to your doctor, of maybe other ways that can naturally help you release more than one egg.
