Hi... Ya two separate eggs can develop simultaneously as in twin pregnancy.
You need to wait for some time as often the fetus with some genetic problem is naturally aborted in that case it will not cause any effect on other.
Any type of combination of gender can be possible.
As such you cant do things that will help to abort one baby and survival of other.
Otherwise you can try selective fetal reduction in which first you should undergo scan to find out any baby having any problem, if so that baby is injected some medicines directly in heart, if no abnormality then randomly one fetus is selected but this has a acceptable complication of nearly 1-2% of total abortion even with experienced hands.
