Today, I announced to my fiance that I was pregnant with twins. He immediately called off the engagement, furious at me because we "agreed to only have one child". Sorry my embryo decided to split in two. FML

It sounds like he's looking for a reason to end the relationship. It may be time to rethink those marriage plans.

Too bad he didn't stay. You could have had 3 babies.

*our embryos. Cause guess what whether or not he wanted 2 he still gets 2 and all the obligations that go with them. Good luck! There are some really great mothers of multiples groups out there you should look into.

I'm not completely sure but I think the sperm decides, not the embryo? like if 2 sperm breaks through the eggs then it determines twins

2 sperm cannot penetrate 1 egg. Either the embryo splits from the DNA of 1egg and 1sperm(identical twins) or she ovulated 2 eggs and both were fertilized(fraternal twins)

No. Twins come from the mother's side, an it can only be if the embryo splits. Sperm does not get to choose haha

Identical twins are when the fertilised egg splits into two embryos; fraternal twins are when the ovaries release two eggs. Semi-identical twins are possible - ie when 1 egg is fertilised by two sperm, but only 1 incidence has ever been identified and they're not sure how it works (i.e. does the egg split before fertilisation, or do the two sperm cause the split?). Google "semi-identical twins"

Of course multiple sperm can penetrate one egg. It's not like one sperm = one baby, two sperm = two babies though for crying out loud. The first sperm touches the egg wall "TOTAL LOCK DOWN OF THE OUTER WALL HAS OCCURRED, NO MORE BABIES TONIGHT, SUNSHINE".

That is actually exactly how it works. When a sperm breaks through the cell membrane of an egg, a chemical reaction takes place in the cell membrane which stops the enzyme on the head of sperm from penetrating the cell membrane, and because this reaction is almost instant, only one sperm can fertilize the egg.

Usually the embryo splits or two eggs are realized. The first creates identical twins, the latter fraternal. But it is also possible for two sperm to enter a single egg, creating what are - in an over simplification for the sake of brevity- half identical twins. There's about a 1% chance of it occurring, but most embryo created from this die very early on. There are living examples though. Half-identical twins can also result from a mother with abnormal chromosomes producing an XY egg that is fertilized by an X chromosome sperm, and the fertilized egg splits after a certain point. (An XY egg fertilized by a Y sperm could hypothetically result in an XYY embryo, but they would have low survival chances and probably some severe health issues even if they survived to term.) Though, now I wonder what would happen if two eggs were released, and two sperm fertilized each egg, or if two sperm fertilized one egg and one sperm fertilized the other...

I don't think anyone has congratulated you on your pregnancy yet, OP. So, congratulations! It sucks that your probably now ex-fiance is a jerkwad, but you're going to have two beautiful bundles of joy, and he's going to have to pay child support whether he likes it or not. I wish you the best of luck, OP. Twins share such a special bond much stronger than most siblings, so sometimes you may need it.

Not your fault your embryo split. little bit your fault for using your time machine to bring a man back from 10,000BC & then dating him, though! ;)

Or sorry your ovaries released two eggs and not one.
