Wow! I would have thought that having a second set of twins was extremely rare. But when I looked around to find the statistics on that, here's what I found:

"If you have had fraternal twins already, your chance of having another set quadruples. This is because most women who conceive fraternals (without fertility drugs) show a pattern of releasing more than one egg per cycle. If a woman has one set of identicals, her chance of having another set of identical twins is 1 in 70,000 or less."

So if your chances of having fraternal twins averages about 3% (varies by ethnicity and age), would that make your chances of having a second set be as much as 12%?
Shok did it in a dish though so he's lucky she's not pregnant with 5 or more LOL... but actually what's weird is the two new ones will be the same age as the 2 he has now...

So shok do you have any left so we can give one out to the top producing webmaster for December?
