Fair: Fraternal twins (non-identical) occur when a woman releases more than one egg during ovulation and this trait can be genetic. Identical twins occur when a single fertilized egg splits into two and is not genetic. Fertility treatments also increase the rate of twins. So with that many sets of twins in the family there is a decent chance of you having twins too.
