    Is there a difference in the birth weight of fraternal twins, identical twins and twins conceived with infertility help? I'm curious to know this. I'm not sure yet if mine are identical or fraternal (they were conceived naturally). Or does it make a difference at all.

    Thanks

    My twins were born last week... we're still not sure if they're frat or ID yet, but they do look more different by the day.

    Mine were conceived naturally. They are fraternal girls. They were born at 34 weeks 6 days and weighed 4#11 and 5#11. Abby had low fluid for several weeks. We think that contributed to the difference.

    B/G twins-IUI/Injections born at 39 weeks. DS was 7lbs 14oz and DD was 6lbs 4oz.

    Do weights really depend on if they were concieved spontaneously or through help? I have never heard of this before.
