What are the chances of having twins?

Please tell what the chances of having twins are. What are the chromosomes or genes required by a man and woman to have twins? Can the twins be born through artificial insemination? My husband and I both want twins we would do anything to have twins. There have never been twins in the family otherwise, so could that still be a hindrance for us having twins. When the family heard about they were very happy. Even if it is possible for my husband and I to have twins, how would we know if they are identical or not?
