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.

We're dealing with an unexpected pregnancy, and after looking over all the reports, we've been considering going the medication route for an abortion. I'm really concerned about one thing: her hemoglobin level is at 8.5. Are tablets still safe to use in this situation?
While medical abortion can be safe and effective, low hemoglobin levels increase the risks, particularly with bleeding. It's crucial to first consult with a gynacologist to assess whether medical abortion is a safe option and to consider ways to improve her hemoglobin before proceeding or a blood transfusion
