[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems to me, there are far more twins in 2000 1910 when I was growing up in 1990. Is that statistically true? Is it because IVF?[/quote] Yes. Via https://www.pregnancycorner.com/being-pregnant/older-women-conceiving-twins.html , "From 1980 to 2009 the twin birth rate doubled among white mothers alone. The increase in twin births was greatest among mothers over the age of 35" In addition to mothers receiving fertility treatments, older mothers are naturally more likely to have twins, as are fatter mothers. Twin survival rates are better now, too.[/quote]
