Multiples
2 sets of twins
Curious mind-have any of you had two sets of twins? I MC fraternal twins 3 years ago and I'm wondering what chances I have of being pregnant with twins again. Everything I researched said I have about a 1/12 chance which is only 8%. I'm just curious how many of you are that 8%. 
TIA

Re: 2 sets of twins
I mean, no one I know personally but people love to tell me about all of the people THEY know with twins!
I only know one person (who I work with) that has two sets of twins. Hers are identicals though. I think that is different odds than fraternal.
I guess after 9 years those first 6 months become a distant memory and you just remember the good stuff!
First, let me say I really have no idea. But I THINK your odds of conceiving another set of fraternal twins are quite a bit higher than the average person's, if you've already done so once. Especially the older you get. It has to do with your ovulation pattern. Are there any other fraternal twins in your mom or dad's families?
Are you saying that fraternal twins only run on your mother's side, or are you saying that only your mother's side matters? If the latter, that's not accurate...
Only your side (as the mother) matters (i.e. not your partner's side) - but both your own mother and your father (grandparents) influence your chances of spontaneous release of multiple eggs. Having fraternals on either your mother's or father's side can influence whether or not you have a higher probability of releasing multiple eggs per cycle.
Keep in mind that an 8% chance of conceiving multiples again is still *much* higher than the normal chances... only about 0.66% of spontaneous pregnancies result in fraternal twins, normally (approximately 1% of spontaneous pregnancies are twins of any kind, and 1/3 of those twins are identical, leaving only about 2/3 of one percent, or 0.66% as fraternal) - that already makes you 12x more likely to conceive fraternals again than the general public has of one chance at fraternals.

I don't have a second set but my ob said we had a 75% chance of twins again and a 50% of natural triplets. Between my mom and fathers side I have 8 sets of twins. My ob said that it depends on the family history on what our chances were for having twins again.
