    Was your dates in November determined with an ultrasound? With being around 9 weeks on Nov. 11, and with a due date of June 12, the father would be your boyfriend. If you conceived in August with the other man, you would be several weeks further along. Ultrasound is not exact, but in the early weeks it is pretty close. It would not be off by weeks.

    What it means is that most likely the sperm met the egg on or around September 20. You could have had intercourse a few days earlier than that as it usually takes a few days for the sperm to travel up the vagina to the fallopian tubes where conception actually takes place.

    It is all estimates, the date you actually conceived if at best give or take one week, and often give or take two weeks.

    There will never be an exact date, Sept 20 that is known for sure, unless that was the only date you had sex in a longer period.

    So sorry it is all estimates and educated guesses, even by the doctors.

    As Fr_Chuck said, they are estimates going with your last period and/or the results of the ultrasound. Either could be possible, since you had sex in the days before that time. It could have been the 18th or 19th just as well for example.

    Since sperm can survive a few days, most often conception occurs in the days after the actual act of sex. Which exact day is not usually known unless someone has had medical assistance in becoming pregnant. They can only give you a general idea.
