If a woman already has twins, it is possible that factors are in play that increase the chances of having twins (amongst others, a hereditary disposition) meaning the woman could have twins again.

If the pregnancy is achieved using assisted reproduction techniques, the possilbility of having twins in also increased if various follicules have matured for AI or if more than one embryo is transferred in IVF.
