To conceive fraternal twins (one boy and one girl), the woman must release two eggs during the same menstrual cycle. Monitoring of follicular development can begin after menstruation ends, and hormonal medications may be appropriately used to promote follicular development. Intercourse should be timed when the release of two eggs is confirmed via monitoring, thereby increasing the likelihood of conceiving fraternal twins. Alternatively, in vitro fertilization (IVF) may be considered to further enhance the chances of conceiving fraternal twins.
