Can twins be conceived on different days?

Doctor 1

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Yes, twins can be conceived on different days, if another ovum gets fertilized by a sperm cell days after the first one. This condition is called Superfetation.

  1. Conception on Different Days: Twins can indeed be conceived on different days, a phenomenon known as superfetation. This occurs when a woman ovulates more than once in a cycle and has intercourse on different days, leading to fertilization of eggs at different times.

  2. Superfetation: This rare event results in twins conceived days apart during an initial pregnancy.

  3. Typical Twin Conception: Usually, twins are conceived simultaneously, either from one fertilized egg splitting (identical twins) or two eggs fertilized at the same time (fraternal twins).

  4. Medical Rarity: Superfetation is extremely uncommon in humans but has been documented.

Is HPV a STD?

Yes, you can get HPV by having vaginal, anal, or oral sex with someone who has the virus. HPV can be passed even when an infected person has no signs or symptoms. You also can develop symptoms years after you have sex with someone who is infected. This makes it hard to know when you first became infected.

I've been dealing with some itching in my vulva and tried using Candid B, but it hasn't really helped. It's not because of any white discharge, but I noticed some redness there too. I've also got this itching between the skin that connects my anus and vagina. What could be causing this and how can I get some relief?

That could be bacterial or fungal vaginitis,visit your Gynaecologist for appropriate management.
