Eli5: Difference in twin ages

700 views

So I recently found out I’m having twins. Looking at test results from an ultrasound it says fetus A is 9wks and Fetus B is 8wks 4days. What causes them to be different in age? Does that mean they are fraternal twins?

They would be fraternal. Your ovaries released two eggs in the cycle and one was fertilized a few days after the first.
