  3. Questions to Consider • 1. What are the patient’s risk factors for twins? • IVF (Ovarian stimulation, multiple embryo transfer) • Age (>35 yo with double risk of a 25 yo) • 2. Are assisted reproductive techniques associated with twinning? • YES!!!!!!! USUHS MSIII Ob/Gyn Clerkship Self Directed Studies

Describe the potential complications associated with multifetal gestation. USUHS MSIII Ob/Gyn Clerkship Self Directed Studies

  5. Etiology of Twinning • Monozygotic Twinning: splitting of 1 embryo • Dizygotic Twinning: fertilization of 2 eggs in a single menstrual cycle. • Multizygotic: fertilization of more than 2 eggs USUHS MSIII Ob/Gyn Clerkship Self Directed Studies
