Superfecundation happens when there are twins from ovulation on the same day with two separate fathers. Two separate eggs were released and fertilization happens during the same menstrual cycle, usually within less than 24 hours of ovulation.
What causes superfecundation?
Conception challenge
For heteropaternal superfecundation to occur, the mother's body must release two eggs during ovulation that are then fertilised by two sperm cells from two different men. The odds of one sperm fertilising an egg during one instance of intercourse are actually rather small.
Can a woman get pregnant by two different guys?
Superfecundation twins: When a woman has intercourse with two different men in a short period of time while ovulating, it's possible for both men to impregnate her separately. In this case, two different sperm impregnate two different eggs.
