This happens to women who are genetically predisposed to having twins or are hyper-stimulated by hormones to bring about ovulation.
In a "normal cycle" there are multiple follicles maturing simultaneously - usually only one fully matures by the time of ovulation.
If there are 2 mature ovum the possibility of fraternal twins is high, if there are multiple mature ovum a pregnancy like Kate Gosselin (formerly of Jon and Kate Plus 8 - fame) where 7 ovum were fertilized at one insemination (one didn't develop past a few weeks) - most doctors would advise against attempting insemination due to high likely-hood of a higher order multiple pregnancy (HOM) or they would suggest selective reduction.
This was the route Kate was advised to take, which she declined for religious and personal reasons.

∙ 10y agoBoth ovaries do not release mature eggs at the same time. Only one egg is, suppose, to be released each month by one of the ovaries, not both. If both ovaries release two mature eggs and they are then fertilized, fraternal twins will be conceived.

∙ 14y agoNo, only one egg cell is released each month. One month the right ovary releases an egg, the next month the left one, etc.
