If you don't know your LMP the doctor will estimate it by adding two weeks to the fetal age, which is determined by the ultrasound. Even when you know exactly when your LMP was, conception is still a guess, that's why they add the two weeks and go by LMP. I hope this answers your question.

I believe many of us have answered this question already. I dont know what kind of answer you expect. If you slept with both men in that short of a time span you will need a dna test to be sure who the father is. Not sure what the docs are telling u and your posts are a little confusing......but if you had sex with 2 men in a month then only a dna a test will give you an answer not a guess. and thats what the docs are doing......guessing. I am really not trying to sound mean but repeatedly posting the same question is not going to change the answer. Hope it turns out the way u want.
