Confused

My friend slept with 2 guys one on a wednesday and the other I believe she slept with for four full days from the saturday of that same week to the next Wednesday. The one on the Wednesday was 3 days after her period and he didn't ejaculate in her, but the one on the saturday ejaculated on all four days in her. They usually say that ovulation is from day 14 but in my experience one can get pregnant at any given time in their cycle, but given that the man she slept with the most ejaculated in her on her most fertile days, would he most likely be the father of her child compared to the man who didn't ejaculate in her? Confusing if you ask me, but basically one came inside her when she was most likely ovulating and the other didn't come inside her when she wasn't ovulating anyway. This situation has caused her to have suicidal and abortive thoughts and I am just trying to help..thank you

Hi!
I can answer your question, because I write the pregnancy forum too!
Because of the timing of the events, I would recommend a DNA paternity test.
If I had to make a guess, I would guess that the partner who had intercourse more frequently would statistically have the higher chance of being the father.
I hope your friend will seek some counseling.  Planned Parenthood is a great organization, and there are many other crisis pregnancy programs too.  Tell her to get some help before making any permanent decisions!

Good luck!

Thank you Doctor B,

It is quite a daunting situation and I have been trying to help her make the right decisions. As you said the more frequent partner ( her main partner) has a higher chance of fatherhood. I have asked her not to worry and to enjoy the pregnancy, she is currently at month 5 so abortion is a bit harsh now. Thank you for your advice
