What are the chances i can have twins if my husband's mom and his brothers are twins and my grandmother from my dad's side had twin brothers? i'm 23

Increased a little.: Probably in the range of 2-3%. Take Folic Acid 1-5 mg daily prior to conception; it may slightly increase the risk for twins as well, but it also decreases the risk of fetal anomalies and preterm birth.
