How to get pregnant with twins naturally?

Question
Hello doctor,
Do you want to ask me how to get pregnant with twins naturally? I see many articles saying that eating sweet potatoes and milk is a high possibility. So how long before pregnancy can help you ovulate more than usual? Or take a supplement to help stimulate ovulation, buy it at a pharmacy or something. Hoping for an answer. Thank you doctor.

Use of ovulation-stimulating drugs is only applicable to infertile mothers who are being treated with an assisted reproductive regimen (sperm pump or in vitro fertilization) and are indicated and guided for use under the supervision of a doctor.
