Another big reason for the increase in twin births is that moms are focusing on careers and waiting longer to have twins. It's not just fertility treatments.

The math gave me a headache. How can one out of every 33 be a twin? Wouldn't it be two out of 66? Am I missing something here?

in small communities, common gene pool is also a possibility.

There were a lot of twins in my schools growing up...and agewise, I predate most fertility interventions. Three sets in my small K-8 school (total school population of 98). There were 6.5 sets (like you, I had one half of a set in my grade, the sibling was held back) in my HS graduating class of 300.
