Yes it's possible . Very often 2 embryos are placed into the women's uterus making a twin possible in about 30% of the time. Twins are not without risk however. You should be counsel led about those risks before you start IVF

IVF does increase the risk of multiples; however this is difficult to control and multiple gestation pregnancies are at higher risk.
