Yes, twins can be born weeks apart if they are conceived through a process called superfetation. Superfetation is when a woman ovulates and conceives again while already pregnant. This rare occurrence can result in twins being born with a significant age difference.

Can twins be different ages?

Theoretically, yes. Twins are usually born at least a few minutes apart, sometimes an hour or two apart. It is rarely possible for delivery of twins to be spaced out even more than that. If a woman delivered one twin shortly before midnight and the another twin shortly after midnight, then the two twins would be born in different days and actually have different birthdays--so they would be 1 day apart in age. Twins are different ages in every case. However, the question is by what time difference. In other words, one minute, two minutes, ten minutes. Still, you will not find them separated by much more in most cases. Twins develop within the the same pregnancy.

Can dizygotic fraternal twins be conceived a week apart?

I think so. My twins are three days apart according to every ultrasound so far. It seems perfectly reasonable that they could be up to a week apart especially considering that is about how long strong sperms keep on working within the right environment. I am not a Dr., but my guess would be it must be possible. Take care While it is possible for non-identical (dizygotic/2-eggs) twins to be conceived apart (and by different fathers!), it's generally not the case. An ultrasound showing twins differing in age by 3 days is not significant given the margin of error for ultrasound technology. Just like most adults are different sizes, so too are babies in utero owing to genetic and environmental factors.
