There was the news story once about a woman who had twins that were one white/one black because they had different dads. Is it possible my twins are from different dads? I am 15 weeks.

its very rare but there are cases where faternal twins have different fathers. Once implantation occurs the cervix closes and does not allow any sperm into the uterus, so sex with multiple partners must occur within a very short time frame, I think its like 24 hours.
Here's a site:

If you've produced 2 eggs, it's possible if you've slept with two men in a close amount of time.
I think the case you're talking about, or one simliar, was actually a case of a fertility clinic mistake. They fertilized the womans eggs with her husbands sperm, as well as the sperm of another donor who was black. The result was one white twin & another bi-racial twin because of the mix up.

The news story was not about the black and white twins having different dads. Their parents (one mom and one dad) are both of mixed race, and one got all of the "white" genes and one got all of the "black" genes.
But no, it is HIGHLY IMPROBABLE that your twins are from different fathers.

It is not likely, but possible if you were incredibly active at one pointor like the one I saw, a woman with twins with different fathers, one was artificial insemination.

If they are fraternal twins it is entirely possible, granted you had sex with two different men withing a few days of each other.

If they are from different eggs it is possible, since on egg can release as much as a day before the other one.

If your twins are fraternal, and if you had sex with two different men during the conception period, of course it's possible.

Women sometimes ovulate more than once in a month. If two eggs are dropped and she has more than one sexual partner, it is plausable that this can occur.

Did you have sex with two dudes the same day around the day you conceived? The chances are not likely... in fact they are probably like one in a million.
