THey are off more than a week, it's a guess of Plus or minue TWO weeks. THat means its an entire month that's possible.

Its because Medical science can't be any more precise than that...

But DNA testing can resolve the issues for people that like to sleep around.

So you are having sex with your sister?! https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/pregnancy-new-motherhood/does-add-up-702275.html Specifically post #16.

Doctors aren't "off."

You see we don't have a camera inside of the fallopian tube to know when the sperm meets the egg. We only have the information regarding the LMP (Last Monthly Period) that the woman, in your case your sister, gives us and we have to trust that she is telling the truth.

Pregnancy can go two weeks either way as Smoothy said above.

Wow dude. Why would you have to have a DNA test for your sisters baby? That's messed up.
