ONLY ONE EGG GETS RELEASED AT A TIME. Not always. Fraternal twins are the result of two separate fertilized eggs. Occasionally more than one egg can be released. If the other egg or eggs is not fertilized, it will be flushed from the body just like a single released egg that is not fertilized does each month.
