Question 1

what are my chances of conceiving twins after a mirena (levonorgestrel) extraction? and there is a chance that my generation on my father side has twins.

Accepted Answer

Same as usual: The Mirena (levonorgestrel) would not have any effect on your chances of having twins.  The presence of twins in the family may have a very small effect, but not much.

Question 2

what are my chances of conceiving the month after having a mirena (levonorgestrel) coil removed?

Accepted Answer

Good : It happens a lot. If you think you might be pregnant check then check a home pregnancy test. They are cheap, reliable and available  at any pharmacy.

Question 3

what are my chances of conceiving twins on clomid (clomiphene)?

Accepted Answer

8-10%: I have read ranges from 5 up to 10 percent, but most of the literature I have read says around 8+%.

Question 4

how best can i increase my chances of conceiving twins be it intake of folic acid how many mg per day and diet wise?

Accepted Answer

Twins: Folic acid intake and diet will not optimize chance of twins.

Question 5

what can i do to increase my chances of conceiving twins?

Accepted Answer

Cross your fingers: The frequency of natural twinning is between 1-2%. Use of fertility medications can increase that chance up to 25%, but its considered medically inappropriate to administer fertility medicines purely for conceiving multiples.

Question 6

dear dr i hope i find you well...i wanted to ask how do i increase the chances of conceiving twins or triplets?

Accepted Answer

Twins are riskier: Humans normally have one baby at a time. Having twins is not exactly normal, and carries added risks to the babies and the woman, on top of the risks already faced in a normal one-baby pregnancy. Risks include:  premature birth (bad), twin-to-twin transfusion (bad), tangled cords (bad); higher chances of pregnancy hypertension, miscarriage, pregnancy anemia; C-section surgical delivery, etc...

Question 7

i'm on a very high fiber, dairy, folate (folic acid) diet. what are the chances of conceiving twins? my periods are spot on regular. i know genes play a huge role.

Accepted Answer

Diet irrelevant: Your diet may affect your chances for pregnancy in certain situations, but it would be unlikely to affect your chances for twins. The normal incidence of twins is about 1 % but the risk is higher with fertility drugs and if you have a family history. Most of the twins you see around the community these days are from fertility treatment.

Question 8

what are my chances of having twins if my grandma and grandpa on my fathers side are both twins?

Accepted Answer

1-3%: The average incidence of spontaneously conceived twins is 1%; with family history, it could be slightly higher. Other parameters to consider include race/ethnicity (rare in japanese, common in nigerians), weight/height of mother (obese, taller women at risk), use of fertility drugs!

Question 9

hello! i am 26 & will be ttc very soon. i want to start exercising but im concerned that it will affect my body fat/bmi & chances of conceiving since im already on the lower side (i weigh roughly 102). even one day of exercising affects my period?

Accepted Answer

: Exercise is good for you. You can prevent weight loss by increasing your caloric intake. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. 
Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!

Question 10

how soon after a mirena (levonorgestrel) extraction can u get pregnant? and can you get pregnamt on ur period

Accepted Answer

Immediately: As soon as you remove the iud, you should consider yourself fertile. If pregnancy is not in your plans, you need protection.  You can't get pregnant on your period if you're truly having a period, i.e., shedding your endometrial lining.  The problem is life is not precise; nor are periods.  Bleeding you take to be a period may not be, and you may be dangerously close to releasing an egg.
