Question

What will increase my chances at having twin boys? Please Help!!

Hi everyone..
I'm 25 with no family history of twins however after having a miscarriage last year. My husband and I have decided to ttc twin boys so after a lot of internet reading, searching etc...
I am about to start the following plan.
- folic acid 1200mcg though I have read that you want 6000mcg to ttc twins so I'll most likely be increasing this
- vitex vitamins or prenatal or both? please tell me what do you think..is it safe to have them both? I heard that vitex also helps for period pains, however it can also prevent you from having twins.
-Cassava root in every meal..
- have found also this during my search for conceiving twins..
calcium 500mg (1000mg per day), wild yams, maca root, and vitamin E
I am little afraid to start all these pills (Calcium, folic acid, vitamins) together without prescription from doctor.. is it safe?
though i am a little embarassed to talk to my doctor about this since i dont have a problem for conceiving..Thanks!!

You can't try for twins it's either genetic or when the egg splits nothing increases your chances of having twins naturally I'm sorry to say.

I don't think there is anything you can do or take to try to get twin boys short of saving up about 15-20k, going through IVF, having the embryos genetically tested and transfering back 2 boy embryos. And even that's not a guarantee!
