If a woman releases multiple eggs, then each egg can be fertilized by a sperm -- including sperm from different partners.
Once an egg is fertilized, it implants in the uterus. From that point onwards, the woman will not ovulate, and so there will be no new eggs to fertilize.
However, if there were multiple eggs, then until the rest of the eggs "expire", they can still get fertilized, meaning that the woman can conceive another baby.
Once the other eggs have ALL "expired" without being fertilized, she cannot get pregnant with another baby.
For example:
Sarah ovulates and her body releases 3 eggs. She sleeps with Don, whose sperm fertilizes egg A, conceiving a child.
The egg implants in the uterus. Sarah will now be unable to ovulate and produce new eggs.
However, eggs B and C are still available and unfertilized.
Sarah then sleeps with Bob, whose sperm fertilizes egg B, conceiving another child.
Egg C soon expires, and Sarah can't get pregnant again.
BTW: The body CAN release multiple eggs. This is how fraternal twins are created. (In contrast to identical twins, where the egg splits in two).

No, thats stupid. Once a woman is pregnant, she stops producing eggs. That's how BC's work, it tricks the body into thinking that the person taking it is pregnant.

Ohhhh you mean like by a "sperm cocktail".... like if a woman has sex with 2 or more guys at the same time and ends up pregnant with twins...one fathered by one of the men and the other fathered by another.
No, I don't think so.

No.
Once you become pregnant, your body shuts off the ovulation cycle.

It's extremely rare, but could happen.
