I can answer 2-I’m a twin and have twins also conceived with fertility meds. Everyone asks me if it runs in the family and I just shrug it off but want to say that the fertility issues are what’s genetic.

My mother A"H had a very good friend who had twins back in the days before ultrasounds. She found out about them when her labor did not stop with the birth of the first one. Doctor totally missed it!

My mil had twins 45 yrs ago and she did not know either until she delivered. She said she kept insisting that somethings off and that she doesn't feel like her usual pregnancies but it was only confirmed upon birth.
She had number 5&6 with the oldest one being 5 yrs old. Several of her siblings also had twins.

That's so interesting. My MIL A"H was a (fraternal) twin. I wonder if any of my DD's will have twins.

OP-until you get used to tampons and how they work with your period, I would recommend you wear a pad or pantiliner with it as backup in case you leak. When I first started I got the maximum absorption possible for the first 3 days of my period which is Super+ for Tampax brand. I was surprised to see I was leaking within a couple hours. Apparently I have a really heavy flow?

Wrong thread?

My 6yo once told me with great authority that his siblings are “nocturnal twins.” 😂

I burst out laughing, but he’s not wrong.

Fraternal twins. First pregnancy. We had joked about it and then found it it was two… the shock…
Once we found out I did research and turns out fraternal is genetic from the mother (two eggs ovulate) and is passed through genetically but is only ‘active’ in the girl.
Turns out my grandmother has a couple of sets of twin cousins not sure if that counts as genetic.
