"I ate a whole pan of these yams over a few weeks and within a couple of weeks after eating I found myself pregnant with twins. I found out later that yams are suppose to work like a fertility pill. I pass this tip to all that want twins and want to get pregnant. This tip has helped more than me have twins." ~Diana
