Is it possible to have twins by two different fathers?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

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

Answer 4

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.

Answer 5

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.

Answer 6

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.

Answer 7

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.

Answer 8

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

Answer 9

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