What happens when twins are formed from one embryo?
When twins are formed from one embryo, it is known as monozygotic twinning. This occurs when a single fertilized egg splits into two embryos. As a result, the twins will share the same genetic material, leading to identical or monozygotic twins.
Why are twins formed in one embryo?
Twins are formed when a fertilized egg divides into two embryos early in development. These embryos can develop into identical twins if they split before any differentiation occurs. Fraternal twins occur when two eggs are fertilized by two separate sperm, leading to separate embryos.
Are twins just two babies or a split embryo?
Twins can either be fraternal (resulting from two separate eggs fertilized by two different sperm) or identical (resulting from a single fertilized egg that splits into two embryos). So, while fraternal twins are two separate babies, identical twins come from a split embryo.
Can one embryo die?
Yes, it is possible for an embryo to stop developing and eventually die, a process known as embryo demise. This can happen for various reasons such as genetic abnormalities, implantation issues, or problems with the embryo's growth and development.
Can a day 6 embryo split?
Yes, a day 6 embryo can potentially split into two separate embryos in a process called blastocyst splitting. This can result in identical twins or multiples sharing the same genetic material.
What might happen if an embryo did not completely split?
You will get conjoined twins.

Can two human embryo come from one egg?
Yes they are identical twins.
How do babies get conjoined?
Sometimes an embryo splits after fertilization into two. This makes identical twins. When the embryo splits, but remains attached to the other, you get conjoined twins.
What happens if an embryo does not completely split?
Siamese twins.
Why are twins formed from the same embryo?
When the embryo gets fertilized, it sometimes splits into two, making an identical twin.
What is meant by a single intrauterine gestational sac note means?
I believe it means that they have only seen one sac--as in one embryo...not twins.
What can happen if your embryo implants low in the uterus?
when an embryo is transplanted low in the uterus and has taken and growing the term used is 'carring low' there is possibility of miscarrige in cases of twins and/or if you have a weak cervix. There needs to be at least 2cm from fetus to cervix. check with a perinatalogist.
What are two kinds of twins?
There are identical and fraternal. Fraternal twins happen when 2 different embryos start growing at the same time, so you get a brother and a sister or 2 sisters or 2 brothers that are the same age. Identical twins happen when 1 embryo splits into 2 embryos when it is only a few cells big, so both babies have the same genes.
What will happen if one sperm will fertilized two eggs?
You have twins
Is it possible to have unintentional twins after an IVF treatment?
Yes, it is. In many situations 2 embryo's will be transferred back into the mother's womb to double the chances of one or either actually hatching, though I suppose when you make that decision with your fertility specialist you will be aware of the chance both embryo's will hatch and you're willing to accept the risk (and joy!) of having twins. However even if only one embryo is transferred back, it can still split itself up resulting in identical or monozygotic twins. Rare, but possible!
What kinds of twins are there?
Identical and Fraternal There are identical and fraternal. Fraternal twins happen when 2 different embryos start growing at the same time, so you get a brother and a sister or 2 sisters or 2 brothers that are the same age. Identical twins happen when 1 embryo splits into 2 embryos when it is only a few cells big, so both babies have the same genes.
