Having twins - superovulation, nutrition

SHARE WITH FRIENDS:

What to do to have twins, is it possible to plan in advance. Below are details on this question that many are interested in and the available methods of planning a pregnancy.

 

Fertilization mechanism

It is first necessary to look at the basics of embryology to find out how fertilization of twins occurs and what types of it exist. Thus, depending on how many egg cells are involved in the fertilization process, the following can be distinguished:

• Twins (homozygous) that develop from a single egg cell;
• Twins (heterozygous) that develop from different egg cells.

The mechanism of fertilization is as follows:

1. Homozygous. In this case, the embryos develop from a single egg cell of the mother. In this case, the multinucleated egg fertilizes the cell with several sperm. In addition, identical twins can also be formed as a result of the division of the fetal egg into two parts. As a result, a separate embryo is formed from each piece during development. Homozygous twins grow together. They are combined with a common outer shell and a single satellite. In addition, blood circulation in such fetuses is also common. Because of the similarity of genes, babies are often homosexual and similar in appearance.
2. Heterozygous. Several eggs with different sperm are born as a result of simultaneous fertilization of the cell. In addition, each fetus has its own shell, circulatory system, a separate satellite. Because of differences in the set of chromosomes, children are usually of different sexes (they may also be of the same sex) and their appearance is different.

In some cases, superovulation occurs in the female body, when several eggs mature at the same time and emerge from the follicles. With their simultaneous fertilization and successful implantation, multiple fetal pregnancies develop. As a result of these processes, two or more embryos begin to develop at the same time.

Probability

No doctor can give a definitive answer to a woman’s question about the possibility of becoming pregnant with twins. Nevertheless, it has been found that there are factors that influence this condition. The first of these is the age of the mother. After the age of 35, superovulation is more common in women. This condition is associated with increased synthesis of sex hormones. Therefore, this category of women is more likely to become pregnant with twins.

In addition, the genetic factor plays a very important role. According to statistics, the probability of giving birth to twins 1:85 is formed. If the birth of twins is observed in the next generation, this probability is higher in subsequent generations. Keep in mind that this trait is only reproduced through the female line.

Thanks to the availability of modern technology today, by visiting a medical facility, a mother can more accurately know the possibility of having two or more children at once after a detailed examination. Besides, EKU will be able to discuss the issue of conducting treatment.

Pregnancy to twins naturally

Mothers who dream of twins are looking for guaranteed and effective ways to achieve this. In this case, they are based on the experience of their friends, information from many forums. However, it should be taken into account that each organism is individual, so the data obtained alone will not suffice.

It is necessary to seek the help of geneticists for fertilization of twins. Examinations at specialized centers will clarify the possibility of having twins and provide clear recommendations. Typically, they include:

• Intake of vitamin complexes;
• Abandoning bad habits;
• Consume more protein rich and dairy products.

Stimulation of ovulation

Stimulating or stimulating ovulation is a set of measures designed to grow multiple egg cells during the menstrual cycle. As a result of such actions, two or more egg cells mature in the ovaries and separate from the follicles. As a result, the chances of twin pregnancies increase significantly.

Manipulation involves the introduction into the body of hormonal agents that stimulate ovulation processes in the reproductive system.

Special tools

Typically, planning a multiple pregnancy involves a course of hormonal therapy. At the same time, doctors prescribe progesterone and follicle-stimulating hormones to women. These compounds contribute to the active maturation of large numbers of egg cells, stimulating the implantation process.

Before starting therapy, the woman is prescribed a blood test to determine the concentration of hormones in the blood. Based on the data obtained, the course of treatment, dose, duration are indicated. Among the drugs used are the following:

• Clostilbegit;
• Puregon;
• Menogon.

International methods

Most of the available forecasting methods are listed in the recommendation and are based on the physiological characteristics of the female organism. The main focus is on:

1. The increase in the concentration of sex hormones in the body increases with the length of the day. Accordingly, the best time to have twins is the beginning of summer.
2. Protein increases the concentration of sex hormones. Given this feature, women are advised to include more meat and dairy products in their diet when planning a pregnancy.

Sex poses

According to some women, there are special poses to increase the chances of twins developing. Of course, they are considered ineffective when a single egg cell develops, but when there are more than one egg cell, they help the sperm to get closer to the cervix and speed up their “journey”. This woman comes from above and is considered a missionary pose.

Eating habits

1. Enriching the diet with protein. As mentioned above, the protein activates the synthesis of female hormones. Lean meat (beef, mutton), fish helps to enrich the body with protein.
2. Fruits. Pears, kiwis, apples, pineapples, nectarines, peaches saturate the body with vitamins and trace elements.
3. Milk and dairy products. Yogurt, yogurt, cottage cheese, hard cheeses are a source of not only protein, but also other useful substances.

Today, the most modern and most likely treatment to be successful is IVF or artificial insemination. This treatment involves inserting one, two, or even three fertilized egg cells at a time. In most cases, implantation is successful.
