Does early BFP higher the chance for twins?
Hi Ladies,
I am curious if anyone got and early BFP and has twins?
I got my first BFP at 8 DPO faint but that is ok. On 10 DPO it was pretty dark. I am 38 yeats old.
I read some forums and facts that an early BFP and higher age (between 30-40 or over) could higher the chance for twins.
The reason: over 35 five years women does not ovulate regularly (not every month) and if it's happen then there is a higher chance to release more then one egg.
Please share you experience with us!
Thank you and Baby Dust

A high hcg in early pregnancy could indicate multiples. I am having twins and my 1st bfp came at 9 dpo. I got a faint bpo thereafter...the rest hpt were negative or inconclusive.
I still have pregnancy symptoms but the babies hcg levels will not register on ept because of super high hcg. Google: "Hook Effect in Early Pregnancy."
My factors for multiples were/are:
African american
Over 35
Tall or overweight
My mother is fraternal twin
2 of my sisters birthed twins
Had been amping on protein & dairy
Peri menopause stage
Had been eating yams/sweet potatoes (not the canned)
Have had several previous births (6 to be exact)
I think that's the whole list, but I sorta knew something was going on internally like a week dpo when I became bloated for no reason, and had headaches like never before. I was shocked at every positive ept because I do gym workouts and 4 mile power walks (at least I used to about 6-7 wks ago)
Hope this is helpful to you, congratulations & best wishes!!

Thank you for your answer and congratulations for you.
Your answer is really helpful. I do not have twins in the family, however my cousin gave a birth to twins but everyone said it happened because in his hubby's family are twins. But now I am thinking.... She released two eggs not hubby.
I'll update here my outcome. It could take a few more weeks, but I'll try to get an u/s as soon as possible.
I wish all the best for you!
