Sometimes I feel like I either want twins or no children at all. I think. I want my kid to have someone that they can always turn to and connect with. A twin would be like a built in best friend. So many studies have been done on twins who feel like they can communicate with their twin without words, because they know exactly what the other is thinking or feeling, which people believe is mainly because they’ve been together from the womb, and will most likely spend everyday of their lives together until they move out (and even after they move out they may still live together).
Of course there are some situations where twins can end up not being very close to each other, but I think cases like that are rare? It’s something I’ve been planning in my head for a while. My master plan is to marry a guy that has a twin, or has siblings that are twins, or a parent that has a twin, etc, so I can increase my chances of giving birth to a set of twins. Sucks though, because as far as I know, we have no twins in our family.

The male has no role in initiating twinning. Fraternal twins occur when the woman drops more than one egg, and that tendency does run in families, on the female side. Not on the male side. They think it's because she produces greater amounts of FSH (follicle stimulating hormone).
Identical twins happen when the one egg splits, and that is entirely by chance. It just happens by accident. The sperm and/or genes have no role.
So a man with twins in his family history has no greater chance of fathering twins than any other man. Twinning depends entirely on the woman.
Now, if you want to make it happen, you can take fertility drugs (FSH) so you drop more than one egg.
~~Silk, Here is my exact reaction to reading your comment.
lol
I would totally consider fertility treatment. But then I'd be terrified of results like Kate Gosselin and Octomom. :/
