A member asked:
Do women hyperovulate? does twin skipping generations true? it skipped two generations in my family?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Multiple gestations: Multiple ovulation circumstances are often a function of family genetic predisposition. In other words, passed down from generation to generation. There is actually a mathematical formula for twinning based on this fact. Generational "skipping" can also occur as well if the sperm donating male has twinning on his side of the family.
