Yes, but only in cases in which they're fraternal, as identical twins form from a single egg/sperm combination and thus cannot have different fathers. In rare instances, when two or more of a woman's eggs are fertilized by different men within the same ovulation period it's called heteropaternal superfecundation.

Yes you can, although it's very rare. Sometimes two (or more) eggs can be dropped during a single ovulation. So it's possible that if you sleep with two men during your ovulation time then both of their sperm could 'catch an egg', and produce twins with different fathers.

I believe that the double egg-drop happens more commonly with fertility treatment or if the mother is older.

Yes,

In the case of fraternal twins, a woman has ovulated more than once in a given month, thus releasing more than one egg. If this occurs and each egg is fertilized by sperm cells from the same man, fraternal twins are formed that have the same father.

While extremely rare, it is possible that each egg is fertilized by sperm cells from two different men, thus forming twins with two different fathers, called bi-paternal twins. According to recent studies published by the National Institutes of Health, it is estimated that approximately 1 in 12 fraternal twin sets are bi-paternal, meaning that each twin has a different father

Well if yo are married and yo cheat on yo husband, then you have sex with yo husband and the guy yo cheating on. Then yo get pregnant from both of them they could both think the baby is for the one you had sex with. Which is both of them. Then you have the baby and the two men will meet and beat each other up for sexing with their woman. Then they'll get mad at you for cheating on them and you'll break up with them. Then you find out you got twins. So techinately both of them are separate fathers. Since you had sex with both of them and that forms a baby. And I have a feeling their not next door neighbors so that makes them seperate.

The condition you're asking about is referred to as "heteropaternal superfecundation." The chances of it occurring are up to the individual mother involved, since after an egg is released and fertilized, the reproductive system "shuts down". If a woman lets go of multiple eggs during ovulation and has sex with multiple different men within 24-48 hours, a double conception is possible. Studies don't have a definite number on the chances of this occurring.

Yes but it's very rare. If you release 2 eggs and have sex with 2 different men within a short period of time there might be a father/egg.

Yes for fraternal twins only. If two eggs are released and each egg is fertilized by a different man, the babies can be fathered by two different men.

They'd be fraternal twins then, and it is indeed possible - but very rare.

No they cannot possibly have two fathers as the sperm downer comes from one individual. And twins are not created by two beings.

Can you be impregnated by two men?

Yes. It is possible for twins to have different fathers in a phenomenon called heteropaternal superfecundation, which occurs when two of a woman's eggs are fertilized by sperm from two different men.

No it is not possible


What do you call identical twins that develop from two different eggs that are fertilized by different sperm?

That isn't possible: if the twins are from two different eggs, fertilized by different sperm, then they will not be identical. It's genetically impossible.


Can one man get a woman pregnant with twins a week apart by him.?

A Croatian woman who slept with two men at the same time has given birth to twins with two different fathers. The 23-year-old student, who has been named only as M B, gave birth to non-identical twins in Zagreb seven months ago. However, she has revealed that DNA testing has shown the children have different fathers.She told daily Jutarnji List, "I was shocked at getting pregnant and even more surprised when doctors told me that my two sons had different fathers." Doctors have said twins being born to different fathers is extremely rare.


Could nonidentical twins have different fathers?

Yes. If a woman has been sexually active with more than one person in a short period of time, there is a less than a one percent chance that a mother will have fraternal twins by two different fathers.


What is a paternal twin?

There is no such thing as paternal or maternal twins. the only type of twins there are is FRAternal, and Identical. Identical twins are the result of one sperm fertilizing one egg and that fertilized embryo splitting apart and forming two fetuses, therefore the children are born identical, and thus must be of the same sex. Fraternal twins are the result of two eggs being fertilized at the same time by two different sperm, and the children will be born different from the other. As a result, they can be male/male, female/female, and female/male. also there is a very slim chance that fraternal twins can have two different fathers, as it can take up to two weeks after having sex for a sperm to fertilize an egg. so if a female has sex with multiple partners, there is a very small chance that the two twins could be from two fathers.


There is Twins with different father?

Identical twins are born when a single fertilized egg splits an extra time early on to produce two copies that develop into two different babies. Identical twins MUST have a single father because they come from a single egg fertilized by a single sperm. Fraternal twins could, in theory, be born from separate fathers since they come from the fertilization of two different eggs. The scenario for this is a bit skanky though, so I prefer not to think about it too much. Note that fraternal twins may appear identical but usually look noticeably different even when they share the same father since they come from two separate eggs fertilized by two separate sperm. If the fathers were different, the odds of even looking close would be significantly diminished.


If two girls are twins is it possible for one to be white and one to be black if their mom is black and there dad is white?

Yes, twins can be of different skin colours. However, they could not be identical twins.


Can fraternal twins be black and white?

Yes, but not monozygotic twins. There are cases where a woman was impregnated by two (or more?) men very close in time to each other, and two ova were fertilized by different men. In that case black and white twins are quite possible.
