Can a mother have triplets with different fathers?
no. he/she cannot coz' a human being has 46 chromosomes 23 of which comes from the mum, 23 comes from the father. a sperm is strictly composed of 23 chromosomes, haploid of the 46. other reason is, fertilization suggests that only 1 sperm can penetrate a single egg, that's anti polyspermy. so f 1 man had sex with a woman then it's sperm will penetrate the ovulated egg, and the next man's sperm will never have the chance to penetrate the egg so is true with the other sperms of the first man.

What must happen during sex that will lead to pregnancy?
If you're asking how sex can get you pregnant:Men make sperm in their testicles and it comes out when they ejaculate during sex. The sperm travel up the vagina into the uterus and fallopian tubes in a woman. If they find an egg (eggs come from her ovaries) they fertilize the egg. The fertilized egg attaches itself to the side of the uterus and grows into a baby.If you are having trouble getting pregnant try this web site on fertility:http://www.webmd.com/baby/guide/getting-pregnant-ways-to-improve-your-fertility
