Question

I need solid proof for my friends.

Answer 2

Yes, there was a case in Georgia where the 2 fathers were 2 differents races.  The mother got DNA tests for all concerned and the result was as you mentioned in your question.  Tell your friends that scientific proof trumps gossip and conjecture.

Answer 3

yes.. you could get pregnant and happen to drop another egg, and fertilize that egg by another man..definately possible

Answer 4

Another Montel show in the making...........

Answer 5

Yes it is possible.  It is called superfecundation. See this dictionary explanation: http://www.yourdictionary.com/superfecun...

Answer 6

Yes. If there are two eggs released by the mom, and then she has s*x with two men, sperm from each of them can fertilize an egg.

I'm sure this has probably happened sometime, but I doubt it's very common.

Answer 7

Actually, it is possible.  Depending on the woman and her specific body, the ovaries can release more than one egg.  She would have to sleep with two men very rapidly (like the same day or a day apart) and have both sperm inside her body. One egg is fertilized by one man's sperm and the other is done by the other man's sperm.  I has happened before.  My aunt had a slightly different scenario.  She was just coming off birth control and was pregnant when her body released another egg, two weeks later.  That egg was also fertilized and implanted in the already thick uterine wall.  She had twins who were concieved at two completely different times.  That can happen too.

Answer 8

I seriously doubt this is possible....but in this day and age you never know!!!

Answer 9

Strangely enough, yes, although very rare, and very hard to do, but it very possible. I really wouldnt want to be in that situation, and how would you know? lol If one comes out dark and the other white? Interesting question!  

Answer 10

Identical twins, no.  That comes from one egg and one sperm.

Fraternal twins, yes.  It's possible (but not unlikely).  The woman first would have to release two eggs (which does happen, but not often) and then would have s*x with more than one man within the window of her fertility cycle (usually 48 hrs).  Then it is possible, since there would be different sperm in her fallopian tubes at the same time.  

Answer 11

Yes, it was on Montel a long time ago.  

Answer 12

it is highly rare but yes it can happen.

Among dizygotic twins, in rare cases, the eggs are fertilized at different times with two or more acts of sexual intercourse, either within one menstrual cycle (superfecundation) or, even more rarely, later on in the pregnancy (superfetation). This can lead to the possibility of a woman carrying fraternal twins with different fathers (that is, half-siblings). This phenomenon is known as heteropaternal superfecundation. One 1992 study estimates that the frequency of heteropaternal superfecundation among dizygotic twins whose parents were involved in paternity suits was approximately 2.4%; see the references section, below, for more details

Answer 13

Whilst its quite rare, has happened though

Answer 14

Yes, it is very possible.  If you have s*x with two different men in the days leading up to ovulation, there will be sperm from two different men in your fallopian tubes. When the two eggs are released, each is fertilized by different sperm.  

Answer 15

Yes, but its very very very rare.

If a woman released 2 eggs during ovulation and she then had s*x with two different men, and each egg was fertilized by a different man's sperm, each baby would have a different father.

It's happened before...
