I mean can you feel your ovum split...duh.

no you cant feel it
beyond that it is a very complicated question
when the egg splits determines what type of twins you monozygotic twins will be.
The earliest split would form dichorionic, diamniotic twins (two placentae/chorions, two amniotic sacs). A median split would form monochorionic, diamniotic twins (one placenta/chorion, two amniotic sacs within the single chorion). A later split would form what is known as mo-mo twins: monochorionic, monoamniotic (one placenta/chorion, one amniotic sac), which is the most dangerous gestation for twins as they can develop twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome or TTTS, which is potentially deadly. If the egg begins to split very late, after 12 days from conception, monozygotic twins will be conjoined twins - the division stops and they develop attached to each other. 60% of conjoined twins are stillborn or miscarried.
Commonality:
2 chorions, 2 amnions, 2 placentae (either fused or separate placentae): 1-4 days after conception, 25-30% of monozygotic gestations
1 chorion, 2 amnions, 1 placenta: 4-9 days after conception, 65-70% of MZ gestation
1 chorion, 1 amnion, 1 placenta: 9-12 days after conception, 1-5% of MZ gestation
A fused placentae does not necessarily indicate MZ twins: about 30% of cases of fused placentae are identical, and 70% are fraternal. Placental analysis is not conclusive in determining zygosity, as a fused placenta is difficult to distinguish from a single. The only sure way to determine zygosity is a DNA test.
Higher order multiples are formed similarly to twins. They may be monozygotic, and the egg split more than once (this is increasingly rare the higher gestation it is, i.e. identical trips are more common than identical quads, or identical quints), or dizygotic, where more than one egg is released and fertilized, or a combination of the two, for example, a set of quads where two are identical twins and the others are fraternal.

Your ovary is the organ of your body where the eggs are stored until time for release. Most women have 2 ovaries. Twins can be born in 2 different ways. Identical twins occur when one egg and one sperm join in fertilization and the initial cell division splits in 2 to create 2 separate babies. Both babies share the same DNA. Fraternal twins occur when 2 eggs are released from the ovaries at one time and both are fertilized by 2 different sperm. Each baby has their own DNA. The eggs are very tiny, about the size of a period at the end of this sentence. The sperm are much smaller. The fertilization process and the cell division process is too small for you to feel.

Your ovary does not split it is called the Ova. And no you cannot feel it split nor can you feel if you ovulated 2 ovums which would also cause twins.
You cannot tell there are twins until either bloodwork, ultrasound or hearing the heartbeats. But even hearing the heartbeat might throw you off since they can be in unisen.

Your ovary does not "split" at any time. If it did, you certainly would feel it - you'd be flattened by the pain and would need emergency surgery to stop the hemorrhage. The ovaries (there are two) are different from the "egg" that, when fertilized, becomes the zygote which becomes the fetus which becomes the baby. There are two types of twins: fraternal and identical. One of these types can be a boy and a girl, whilst the other can never be. My challenge to you is to figure out which is which.

Darlin', your ovary doesn't split. The egg does. Can you feel it. That depends on the person. The Drs. say no.

FYI - Your ovary does not split. The fertilized egg splits.

your ovary doesn't split. the egg that came from your ovary may split and become twins. if one egg splits the babies will look alike. if two egg drop and the sperm enters them then your babies will not look alike.

Your ovary does not split your egg does. No you can't feel it.

Your ovary does NOT split, that would kill you, moron. I think you mean the EGG.

no, not at all. This process happens when the cell is so tiny that you wouldn't even be able to see it let alone feel anything. It's impossible.
