1. Folate – Studies have shown women who have folate (folinic acid is preferable to the man made folic acid) have a 40% increase in twin pregnancies, although this appears to be more particularly aimed at women who’ve had IVF.
2. Cassava – This African variant of sweet potato is believed to cause hyperovulation and increase the chance of multiples. Cassanovum, is the one I chose to purchase after researching the many brands available. It’s made using the most potent part of the plant, contains folate and has a variety of other herbs to help with pregnancy.

4. Age – Older women produce higher amounts of FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) which increases the chance of dropping multiple eggs. However fertility rates also go down as women age, so waiting too long can also lower the chances of falling pregnant at all.
5. Hyperovulation – When two or more eggs drop during ovulation. This can happen due to genetics, menopause, age, taking cassava and a range of other hormonal reasons.
5. Hyperovulation – When two or more eggs drop during ovulation. This can happen due to genetics, menopause, age, taking cassava and a range of other hormonal reasons.
6. In The Family – If the woman’s side of the family has twins in it (due to genetic hyperovulation), her chance of conceiving twins is higher.
7. Weight – Women who are tall and of medium or high weight ranges have a higher chance of conceiving twins.
9. Lots of Babies – The more babies you have, the more chance you’ll fall pregnant with multiples.
10. Magnesium/Calcium – There is anecdotal evidence that taking these two in combination can increase the risk of twins (although you should check dosage with your doctor/chemist). It may also increase the chance of having girls.
