I think so. My twins are three days apart according to every ultrasound so far. It seems perfectly reasonable that they could be up to a week apart especially considering that is about how long strong sperms keep on working within the right environment. I am not a Dr., but my guess would be it must be possible. Take care
While it is possible for non-identical (dizygotic/2-eggs) twins to be conceived apart (and by different fathers!), it's generally not the case. An ultrasound showing twins differing in age by 3 days is not significant given the margin of error for ultrasound technology. Just like most adults are different sizes, so too are babies in utero owing to genetic and environmental factors.
Another name for fraternal twins is dizygotic twins.
Fraternal twins are twins who develop from two separate fertilized eggs. They can be of the same or different genders and share about 50% of their genetic material. Fraternal twins are also known as dizygotic twins.
Fraternal twins are more popular.
Fraternal twins can be the same sex or opposite sexes. It doesn't matter.
Yes, fraternal twins are perfectly normal.
Two separate eggs are fertilized. Dizygotic twins are the same as fraternal twins.
Another name for fraternal twins is dizygotic twins.
How do fraternal twins form? Answer one egg from each ovary is fertilized.
Dizygotic twins develop from two separate ova fertilized by different sperm at roughly the same time, they are also called fraternal twins. Monozygotic twins develop from one zygote that splits apart producing genetically identical zygotes; also called identical twins.
Identical twins are called monozygotic. Fraternal twins are called dizygotic.
The frequency of having monozygotic twins (identcal) is about 4 out of every 1000 births. Whereas dizygotic twins (fraternal) is about 12 out of every 1000.
There are two types of twins -- monozygotic ("identical") from a single egg, and dizygotic (fraternal) from two eggs. Only dizygotic twins can have a different sex.
Nonidentical twins Dizygotic twins (commonly known as fraternal twins, but also referred to as non-identical twins or biovular twins)
They are dizygotic. Fraternal twins.
They are called: fraternal or dizygotic twins. Twins who develop in one amniotic sac are called identical or monozygotic twins.
Fraternal twins are twins who develop from two separate fertilized eggs. They can be of the same or different genders and share about 50% of their genetic material. Fraternal twins are also known as dizygotic twins.
Twins can be identical or fraternal (monozygotic or dizygotic). For identical twins, one sperm fertilizes an egg. The zygote divides into two identical embryos. For fraternal twins, two separate eggs are fertilized. They both implant on the uterine wall, forming two zygotes.
