Who is the most likely father of my baby??

Hi,
I am currently 7 months pregnant and still have fears as to who the father of my baby is. After my boyfriend and I broke up last year I slept with my ex on July 26th which was also the first day of my LMP. Around 4 days later my boyfriend and I reconciled. I didn't realise I was pregnant until October last year. When I got a scan done on December 30th and was told I was 5 months pregnant (20/40) and will be due May 15th but according to the date of  the first day of my LMP I am due May 2nd. I have tried conception calculators using these dates and they tell me my baby was conceived mid-August but I need a second oppinion. Who would most likely be the father of my baby??? We don't have paternity tests here so that is not an option for me. Either way I want to have this baby.

You don't ovulate while on your period. Your uterine lining is being shed and there would be no way for a fertilized egg to implant. You can have sex on your period and get pregnant a week later. Sperm can live up to five days under the perfect conditions.

Thanks for taking the time to answer my question and congratulations to those of you who are pregnant. My calculation of the due date i got was about 40 weeks from the first day of my LMP. The due date i got from the doc was via the scan she took. I have heard that there is a 12% chance that women can get pregnant from sex during their period. Is that true???

Go with the ultrasound due take because the ultrasound measures the baby.  If you go off your new due date then your current boyfriend is the father by 12 days.

I am almost positive I conceived on 7/27, and am due 4/14. I would think you conceived later.

Not a doc but I do have 5 children and been to nursing school...my bet is that it is your boyfriend's (not ex) as it would be rare to release an egg during your period and then it be fertilized and implant itself during a menstrual cycle??..that is when your body is cleansing the uterus of the egg and "nest" if you will that has been awaiting fertilization.
