I know this sounds bad but I have a question about who fathered my babies. I am due Jan. 23 and it shows I conceived on April 18. I had sex with 1 on April 5 and all the other times were with my husband. Is thee a chance 1 is the father? Please help!!

Yes since the conceive date is only a guess based on your information about your periods, it is easy to be a little off. So either one can be, you can't be sure till the baby is born and have a DNA test

Did an ultrasound show your conception date? Ultrasounds are very accurate. Do you have regular periods and remember the start date of your last one? If you answered yes to ether question it is more likely that your husband is the father however, there are other factors to consider. Have you been trying with out success with your husband for a long time? That fact is you will never really know with out a test. If your conception information is accurate it is much more likely your husband is the father.

Babieface, I beg to differ about the ultrasound. It is still a guesstimation based on the size of the growing baby. It is not accurate in predicting date of conception.
Nagele's Rule is what the doctors use to predict due dates. So, if one remembers the first date of their last menstrual cycle this works wonders
Take the first date of your last period then add 7 days, subtract 3 months, then add one year. This is how the "wheel" that the doctor uses to predict due dates works.

Pregnancy Dates Calculator (http://www.intmed.mcw.edu/clincalc/pregnancy.html)
That also works wonders providing as j said you know the last day of your last period.

The question is when was the first day of ur last period? I am due jan 26, had my last period april 21st, ultrasounds performed early enough are accurate within 5-7 days. My ultrasounds added up and went along with my lmp. Did u have a period between these 2 men? With that due date, u should have conceived around april 28th- may 5th.
