Hallow,
Your query is indeed peculiar.
When multiple embryos are implanted in IVF, after few days, their growth is seen and then selective abortions of few embryos is performed so that the woman does not have to carry the burden of multiple pregnancies.
Since, you want selectively twins, you may request your IVF consultant accordingly so that he/she see the possibility in fulfilling your wish.
However, before taking the final decision of twin pregnancy, please try to understand the consequences of multifoetal pregnancy. You have additional burden to bear, the chances of preterm delivery giving birth to small babies, less weight of each baby are few important of them. Please learn all of them in details from your Obstetrician before taking any decision about twin pregnancy.
I hope this will guide you properly.
