Father of my child?

Ok, so I'm having a hard time deciding what I want to do with my pregnancy. First day of my last period was March 23-28. My usual cycle is about 28 days apart. I had sex with someone I was talking to for awhile on April 4th without protection, but he didn't end up finish (ejuculate). Then, I had sex with my ex boyfriend on April 6th and he came in me everyday until April 11th, on April 11th I went and got the plan B pill. I took a pregnancy test April 20th and I am pregnant. Could you help me figure out who the father is??

It could be either guy.  If you count from your last period, and if your cycles are like clockwork exactly 28 days apart each time with no variation, you would have ovulated on April 6, when both guys' sperm was potentially in your body.  (There is no guarantee that the guy who did not ejaculate didn't have some sperm in his urethra from a recent, prior ejaculation.)  It would be a better idea to get an ultrasound right away and ask them to tell you the estimated due date, and to use a conception calculator to confirm when the conception probably was.  Counting forward from periods is not as accurate.

If you need to know before the baby is born, DNA tests are available (contact Ravgen or the DDC) that can be done with a blood draw from your arm and a swab from the guys.  The fact that you say you are having trouble deciding what to do with the pregnancy makes it sound like if it were one guy you would not want to keep the baby but if it were the other guy you would.  If it is this important, be sure (if you go with a prenatal DNA test) to test BOTH guys.  You want to get to one guy a definite positive and the other a negative.

Ok thank you! One thing I did actually figure out, it was the 1st instead of the 4th. Could that have made a difference?
Could that have made a difference?  Not enough, sorry to say, partly because you really don't have very good evidence (without an ultrasound) of when you were most likely to have conceived.  Also, sperm can live 5-6 days in a woman's reproductive tract.  It is still possible for both guys to have had sperm in your system at the same time with the new date you gave.  I think you would be smart to get an ultrasound, since you don't really know (from the first day of your last period) for sure when you might have ovulated.
