Can twins be conceived on different days?
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.
