You only ovulate one day a cycle. So unless you use OPK's you don't know for sure when exactly you ovulated. Like I have said, you had intercourse way too close together to be able to know who is the father. There is no way to tell when a women actually conceives either which is why you NEED to get a DNA test done after the baby is born. Doesn't matter if you bled in between, it doesn't sound like a normal period anyway from what you said.

If you've taken 2 pregnancy tests and and your period is late, it's unlikely you are actually pregnant then. The strange bleeding could be caused by an infection or an STD or other things. You need to go get smears and a sexual health check up, especially when you're sleeping with all different men like you talk about. You might want to consider some form of birth control as well as using condoms in future so that this doesn't happen again.

If you had a period in between the two sexual encounters then you most likely will be pregnant by the second guy if you are pregnant. You really shouldn't worry until you have missed your period and test. If you think that the spotting wasn't a "real" period then take a test now and it could be accurate.

I agree that if you had 2 condoms break then they were either expired or you need to change brands. Condoms are 99.9 percent effective in preventing pregnancy when "used" correctly.

Walgreens carries them for around $20-30 and then you send it in along with $110 and they mail the results back to you. I've seen them a lot because I'm at Walgreens all the time for prescriptions.

As the others said, a DNA test will be the only way you will find out. Some doctors will do an amnio for paternity testing, but most often will not. It's mainly used for determining genetic abnormalities and such and the risk of infection or miscarriage is often not worth it when you can just wait a few more months and know without risk.

They also offer paternity tests at drug stores, walgreens and cvs as far as I know. All you do is take a buccal (cheek swab) from you, baby and father and send it in. It is much cheaper, I believe my sister paid around $50. You might need to buy two but it's still cheaper than $500. They mail you the results. Could cost differently now but that was the price last year.

Also, if you are pregnant, and you do need DNA testing done after baby is born, don't expect your doctor to set that up for you. You will have to find a lab and make arrangements yourself, and it may involve coordinating with hospital staff.

You can make an educated guess, but you'll need DNA to know for sure. Do you have any idea when you ovulated, or when your period is due? Sperm can live in your body and wait for an egg for about 5 days.

There are basically two options for paternity testing. Amniocentesis can be done before the child is born. It's considered an invasive procedure with a roughly 1:200 risk of causing a miscarriage. This costs about $1,500 in the States.
If you wait and have the baby, it should cost about $500. They'll just have a lab tech do a cheek swab. Quick, painless, and you get results back in about a week. Don't forget you'll need DNA samples from the prospective fathers to compare, and we're talking out-of-pocket costs. Insurance isn't likely to spring for it.

If you are pregnant, then after the pregnancy, I'd suggest switching condom brands! Also look into some of the birth control options that YOU can take, so you're doubly protected.

But I agree with kitkat it's just too close, because sperm can survive for a certain amount of time and you can't be sure of when you ovulated.


A paternity test after delivery would be your only surefire way to know. For now, take a test when your period is late to find out if you are even pregnant or not. best of luck!

You are wrong. Ovulation happens 14 days BEFORE AF starts not 14 days after AF starts. Know your facts.

There is no way to know without a DNA test who the father would be. The intercourse was to close together to know for sure.

If you know when the first day of your last period was and count about 14 days past that you know who the daddy is.  All women are different, but that should give you an idea.  Good Luck

No. You need to wait until the baby is born and have a DNA test done. Dates are all too close together to be able to tell. If you suspect you may be pregnant you need to take a pregnancy test to confirm.
