Daddy drama?

So my last period was June 8th 2013 and my period before that one was May 8th until the 13th 2013, But my period before that was April 9th for 1 day then stopped. Last year in 2012 I took the depo shot one time for 3 months and never took it again. I completely stopped my periods immediatly. They returned in January 2013. But like I said my last period was June 8th 2013.

On June 23d my friend and I were messing around WE DIDNT HAVE SEX! and he might of gotten some of his pre c u m inside my vagina by his fingers but if he did it was a little bit. I have heard this is soo slim for getting pregnant! We broke up 2 days later.

I then got back with my current boyfriend on June 29th and we had unprotected sex and he came inside me fully. We had sex that day and the entire month of July 2013. I missed my July period which should of been around the 8th or 9th of July I think, if I can remember.

On August 11th I went to the hospital for stomach pains and they told me I was 7 weeks and 1 day pregnant and that they would of guessed my due date would of been March 15th going off my last period but my periods were all messed up like I told you above.

At my 20 week ultrasound they told me my due date was March 31st 2014. I am now 31 weeks and 4 days pregnant so my question is, is my current boyfriend the daddy and if I was 7 weeks and 1 day pregnant on August 11th didnt I get pregnant the end of june like the 29th or the beginning of july? im so lost..

The "7 weeks 1 day" number is counted from the (computed) first day of your last period, NOT from your (presumed) day of conception.  Though 7w1d counts back to June 22, they are *not* telling you that you got pregnant on June 22.  It's the first day of the last period if you had regular periods.  Based on the size of the embryo on August 11, that 7w1d figure says you would have conceived around July 6.  The margin for error on dating from ultrasounds is +/- about 1 day, that early in pregnancy. two-week allowance in at the beginning.

Your story all adds up to your current boyfriend.  It would be pretty hard to get pregnant from fingering if the guy only had pre-ejaculatory fluid on his fingers, and besides, that fingering was too early (based on the size of your embryo at 7 weeks 1 day), and you did have lots of unprotected sex in the right time range with the boyfriend.  If it's going to worry you, you could get a DNA test when the baby comes, but unless you need one for the courts (for child support) you could just do it with an over-the-counter test.

That's correct, odd as it may seem.  The two weeks computed between the conception date and the assumed first day of the last period, are a standard allowance they give to everyone whether the woman's cycle is long, short or irregular.  What they are saying is, we see this baby, and its milestones and size are consistent with the size of an embryo that is 7 weeks 1 day which includes 14 days allowance at the front end.  (This means that if you're told you're 7 weeks 1 day "along," you are 5 weeks 1 day from conception.)

Regarding whether they give you a different due date later in your pregnancy , don't worry.  Only early ultrasounds are very accurate for dating, because babies grow at (or can grow at) different rates.  Everyone starts out as one cell and divides to two and then to four, at a known rate.  But after a while, one baby might grow a little faster and another might grow a little slower than average.  Go with your 7th week ultrasound, it is the most reliable for dating the pregnancy.

Thank you so much im so relieved too hear that it's my boyfriend! <3 but I had another question, they said my first ultrasound at the 7 week and 1 day they said my due date would be march 15 which matches my period but now my due date is march 30th 2014. Is he still the father no matter what due date they go by? cuz if you go by my period it says I was ovulating differently or something.. Or does it not matter because the 7 week and 1 day thing told them i conceived around the 6th of july? and does it matter that they just "guessed" i had a period on june 22 even though i didnt have a period that day my last period was june 8th.
