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.

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.
-
Superfetation: This rare event results in twins conceived days apart during an initial pregnancy.
-
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).
-
Medical Rarity: Superfetation is extremely uncommon in humans but has been documented.

View allI had an ultrasound that showed an enlarged uterus with a large subserosal fibroid measuring 148.8 cm in the right lateral wall and areas of early degeneration, plus another subserosal fibroid in the anterior wall measuring 1.72.2 cm. My ET is 8mm. One doctor recommended surgery, but two others suggested trying to conceive first. I don't have children yet and I'm really confused about what to do should I prioritize surgery or try to get pregnant with these fibroids?
