april?

[firstborn91]

Hello everyone, I found out I was pregnant June 29 and had an ultrasound but was only showing a gestational sac. My EDD is February 26. Is it possible I became pregnant April 5?

Well, just because April 5 was a big mistake does not mean you inevitably must suffer a worse consequence, i.e., that your boyfriend would not be the father of your baby.  One mistake does not make another big thing change just for cosmic retribution.  By all medical evidence, you conceived in early June.  Get a STD test to rule out anything nasty from the April 5 time and then put it behind you and be a great girlfriend to your boyfriend.

I don't know when my LMP was so according to the ultrasound June 29 that only showed a gestational sac but due date would be February 24. Its changed a couples of times from Feb 24 to 26 to even march 1 but my doc is keeping it at Feb 26. The reason I ask is because I had a period march 21 that I have written down. I had intercourse April 5 which happen ed to be a huge mistake. Got back with my boyfriend and have been with him ever since. I could have had a period April and may but did not write them down so I don't remember. Then June 29 is when I found out I was preggo but only with a sac.

Did you get the EDD from the ultrasound that only showed a gestational sac?  If your EDD is simply from a count made from the first day of your last period, it won't necessarily be trustworthy, especially if your periods are irregular.  

That said, it is very hard to imagine any scenario in which a baby conceived in April would not appear very clearly, large as life and twice as natural, in late June on the ultrasound.  You simply would not have seen only a gestational sac on June 29.  The following is what the conception calculator I use says about when you might have conceived, if your EDD is February 26.  You might note that it also suggests that you would have had one or even two periods after the April 5 date.  (Did that happen?  Having periods is a big hint that you aren't pregnant.)

     First day of last menstrual period:  May 22
     Probable date of ovulation:  June 5
     Possible dates of conception:  June 1 to 9
     Due date:  February 26 (40 weeks)
