Who is the baby's father/accurate dates?
Hi.
I broke up with my long term boyfriend in April.
If I remember correctly I had a normal period in the first week of May.
I dated another man in May and we had intercourse around May 23-25.
On June 2, when I was expecting my period, I started bleeding and it lasted until June 7. Nothing seemed odd about it and I experienced what seemed to be normal flow. I used tampons and the blood was red. I assume it was my period.
I got back together with my boyfriend a few days after my period ended and we had intercourse several times from June 9 on.
I discovered I was pregnant at the beginning of July.
My doctor gave me a due date of March 9, 2010 based on my LMP.
I had an ultrasound at 12 weeks and my doctor said the baby was measuring normal for 12 weeks.
I had another ultrasound at 17 weeks and based on this my due date was March 6, 2010 about the same as my LMP. At a 20 week and 1day ultrasound week ultrasound the due date based on ultrasound was still March 6, 2010, so the baby measured 20 weeks and 4 days.
My fundal height at 28 weeks was 27cm.
I have had no other bleeding at all since June 7.
Recently someone suggested I could get my period while pregnant or that it could have been implantation bleeding.
My questions:
Is there any possibility this baby could be from the man I had intercourse with on May 23-25?
Could it be possible I would have had to mistaken my period for some other type of bleeding?
At 12 weeks, could my doctor have possibly been mistaken and the fetus was actually around 3 weeks older?
Could the ultrasound measurements at 17 weeks be off by a few weeks?
Thank you.

Well, the dates are always within 3 days of my LMP, so they really haven't really been getting pushed forward.
Oh wow! if the dates keeps pushing earlier and earlier, the way I see it, this baby could be that other man and not your boyfriend.
Since you are back together with the boyfriend, it will be very easy for you to get a hair or something from him and do a DNA test. Once the results are in, you know what you are dealing with and come up clean with both your boyfriend and that other man. ( I am assuming your boyfriend has no clue)
It might ruin your relationship with your boyfriend, it might not, but its a risk you will have to take, just as the one you took having unprotected sex with this other man.
Hope everything works out for you! Good luck!
