ivf is NOT for producing twins! if you got no problemo with your "works" and your partner "stuff", then nature will decide if you get twins.

IVF is meant for couples having trouble conceiving. No doctor will allow you to go for IVF just because you want twins! Not to mention that this will produce non-identical twins (can't remember the scientific name) and that's probably not your aim.

Hate to tell you - but you're just going to have to let nature decide. They are more common in older women, by the way, as more likely that two eggs are released simultaneously. Though waiting until you are 40 to conceive just so you can have twins isn't a smart idea.

Identical twins are purely by nature. There is no way at all to increase your chances of having these.
