A lawyer, actually.  Just have done this a lot.  Is this man an acceptable father?

Of course, once the baby is born, you should also get a DNA test done with both men, since the dates are pretty close together.   All of you deserve to have the information confirmed by a certified lab.  But I would go through the pregnancy assuming that your conception date was too late for the first guy.

Yes he is.  These were my thoughts all along..  But just being able to have a second opinion and someone to listen is nice. Yes,  testing will of course be done. Thanks for your time.

The day of the cycle doesn't matter once you have an early ultrasound, once that happens, the measurements of the embryo and its developmental markers rule.  From those measurements they gave you a due date, and from the estimated due date you can figure out an estimated conception date.  Yours is from your seventh week, giving a margin for error of +/- 1 day when used to estimate a conception date, and that gives you the bracket of December 5-7 for conception.  If you had sex 8 days before that, the likelihood was that all of that sperm was no longer viable.  It all pretty much points to the sex on the 5th.

Thank you so much for your reply..  That is what my expectations were.  Its just a terrible feeling having to question it.  Can I ask...  Are you a nurse or something,  you really seem to know what you're talking about.

And that means it was 8 days before the 5th that you had sex with the first guy?  (You didn't put any dates in your original post.)

Correct
According to ovulation calculators and reading up on it...  My ovulation should have happened around day 20-23..

Sounds like you got pregnant on or around December 5-7.  When did you have the sex with your ex?
