stressing

Hi. I'm 23 years old I need a little advice. I had unprotected sex on the day I ovulated with my ex boyfriend. The day which the ovulation calendar predicted I would ovulate. That was aug29th- 30th . I had protected sex with someone else earlier in august about august 5th. I'm now 21 weeks pregnant. Is my ex boyfriend the baby father?

Ok thank you so much for your help

In your shoes, I would go ahead with some confidence that the father is the guy from the 29th, but I would not hesitate to do a DNA test once the baby is born.

Yea because actually my last period was august 16th which I ovulated on the 30th. I had unprotected sex on the 29th and 30th. But he told me he didn't ejaculate on the 30th but the 29th he did. My due date is may 23rd my dr told me I would have had to conceive between the 29th 30th. I just made 21 weeks yesterday. I just don't want to mislead the wrong guy and it comes out to be the other guy. I had protected n sex with the other guy and the condom didn't break.

Oh, if you had the protected sex on the 6th and not the fifth, the numbers above should be a four-day difference or five-day difference.  But even if it were a week's difference, I would have a DNA test.  I wouldn't freak out in the meantime, it sounds like you've worked out who is the dad to all levels of reasonableness.  But I wouldn't want to ever have to worry about the question later in the child's life.

Hi, I get from the conception calculator that if you were 7 weeks 6 days on October 10 that you conceived on August 30, with a due date of May 23.  7 weeks 6 days is nice and early, the margin for error at that point for using an ultrasound for dating is only said to be +/- a day or two at max.  As you can see, though, you are hinging your statement that you don't need a DNA test on a three-day difference (given the margin for error).  It sounds like the baby is from your ex boyfriend.  But given the importance of the question, when the difference is only three days (or five if you want to ignore the margin for error) it is never a bad idea to test once the baby is born, just to put the question to rest.  If you are intending to file for child support from your ex, it will probably be required.

My first ultrasound was on October 10,2014 I was 7 weeks 6 days and my due date was still the same as going by my last menstrual may 23rd 2015

Hi, depending on how you got your ovulation information, the difference between August 29 and September 5 is not enough to ignore the need for a DNA test.  An ovulation calendar is only as reliable as your periods are regular (and they would have to be like clockwork), and even then, if you needed perfect certainty, it would take having had a positive on an ovulation test kit at that time, not just looking at a calendar.  But you might be able to figure things out from your first ultrasound, if it was early.  When in the pregnancy did you have your first ultrasound?  What due date did they give you from the ultrasound information at that time?

Why would i need a paternity test? After protected sex with him I had my period on August 16th. I then had sex with my ex boyfriend on August 29th and i didn't get my period on September 13th but I did sleep with the other guy on the 5th or 6th of September but that was also protected sex
