    The fact that your boyfriend has twins in his family means nothing. It doesnt' make YOU release two eggs. (And there is no genetic influence on identitical twins.)

    If you are pregnant with twins it's simple chance -- even people without a family history CAN have twins (fraternal or identical.)
