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.

Suddenly, my sister is having a bit of trouble breathing. She's not able to take deep breaths through her nose and is breathing mostly through her mouth. There aren't any signs of fever, cold, dry cough, or body pain, so I'm really worried about what could be causing this. Can you suggest any home remedies to help her breathe more easily? She's currently three months pregnant. We're from Hyderabad, Telangana, and haven't traveled abroad ever. Any advice would be appreciated!
