Mary Kate and Ashley are in fact identical!!
They were born in 2 placentas which people associated with fraternal twins.
The statistics are 30% of identical twins are born with 2 placentas.
My twin and I were told that we are fraternal.
We did a DNA test, which is 100% accurate and turned out to be Identical

I’m a twin- am I at a higher risk of having twins myself?

[@ashleyreese210]

Is there any way to tell what kind of twin you are as an adult? My mother had in-vitro fertilization treatment in 1998, 3 embryos inserted. That resulted in my sister and I being born. The doctor said we had a fused placenta and were most likely identical but we don’t really look alike at all. Thoughts?
Also, due to the fact that we were conceived through IVF, neither of us have a heightened likelihood of having twins in the future correct?
*fun fact: my twin sister and I each just had our first babies 2 weeks apart in March this year!*

This is such a fun fact, thank you for sharing! I'd advise you to ask your medical provider for answers to your personal situation, as I can't give personal medical advice on social media. I hope my content on my website drlorashahine.com can help. Thank you also for watching ❤
