The DC Area privates are full of twins. How many twins are in your kids' class? Which school?
From Bullis in '18: "Last night 143 students -- including 12 Lifers and six sets of twins.." https://www.facebook.com/BullisSchool/photos/a.174332395899/10156225404480900/?type=3 |

| Rich people can afford IVF, which results in twins. |

| People have kids later which means some people need IVF |

Also you're more likely to have twins after age 35, notwithstanding fertility treatment |

Some of us were just stone cold infertile. We tried to get pregnant for over 4 years in my early 30s--finally did IVF and had twins. It was a long road.
Just thought I'd put this in here. It's not all geriatric parents and people jumping to IVF ASAP because they have the money. |

| PCOS runs in my family. We have twins and they have cousin twins. Combo of PCOS and over the age of 35 for both of us |

Could be but the chance of having twins after 35 grows exponentially each year |

| I get that some twins are naturally conceived, but the explosion of twins is 99% due to IVF. Come on. |

| All it took was clomid for several moms we know though I used to think the same about ivf. I think IVF is like being vegan and they'll tell you right away when people share their past pregnancy experiences. |
