Just heard a boy has been born in our family.

My ex H had fraternal twins running rampant in his family, but apparently it is passed down the female line as the ability to ovalute 2 eggs per cycle

My friend thought like me she had started 'the change' , and developed a tummy bug on her honeymoon - but voila, fraternal twins when she was 49...........

Identical twins are a fluke, but strangely I know one had that had some herself !

Just the opposite in SiL family. They were hoping DD would give them the first girl for 4 generations but no
Grandad 4 brothers, dad 3 brothers, SiL 1 brother and 2 sons.

Nellie no genetic tendency for twins in my family, believe it or not! Just one set of fraternal twins who have both had IVF and had two eggs implanted.

Ella46 !

Frank,you know what they say about 'a little going a long way', well maybe that's how the women in your family feel about the males

Statistically it is possible even without any genetic tendency to reject boy sperm before they are in the running. It is just that it is at one end of the possibilities, and would not happen to very many people.

That must be statistically odd as the many girls are presumable marrying a number of men from different genetic roots. There might be something about the women in the family not conceiving boys.
You might just be onto something there Frank.

Is it like Whenim having a lot of twins in her family. Some genetic tendency.

That's great Frank!
