    Possible conception days
    The first day of my last period was April 12th. I had sex with an ex of mine April 25th and 26th. The following month I had sex with another ex of mine May 9th or 10th. My due date is January 17th 2013 and my periods have always been regular 28 days.
    At this point my partner from April 25th 26th believe's, and has convinced me after using different conception calculators that he's more likely to be my sons father.
    My due date is January 17th 2013. With this information what would be my estimated conception dates and according to that, who would be the father or more likely the father?

    There's no way to give an accurate guess.

    A due date is a guess, based on your cycle.

    The best bet is to have a DNA test done after the baby is born.

    I understand the only accurate guess is a DNA test, but I'm looking for an educated guess or estimate. I sure I'll know whose the father as soon as I see my little boy because one ex is caucasian and the other african american

    An educated guess is it is either, any other guess would be careless and very incorrect.
    This is fairly close together and the dates are such where it can far into either.

    So guessing does no good for anyway, if you go all the months only to find out at DNA you are wrong, it does not good.

    So give birth and do DNA and then you know

    Thanks for your estimate!

    Anyone with an estimate that might suggest one partner over the other?

    No. Please understand, no one can guess on this. Why do you want guesses when the only answer is a DNA test?

    It's like coming here with a medical condition, knowing you have a condition, being told to go to the doctor, and asking people "well guess what I have anyway, even though your guesses mean nothing".

    The only answer is a DNA test. There is not way to accurately guess this. No one can do it, not even an ultrasound can give you an accurate date. DNA test. That's the only answer for you.

    Good luck.

    Anyone can guess, I myself can guess but I'm looking for someone who can give me an estimate using the information I've given. Someone who knows how ovulation and conception works

    I agree 100% DNA testing after birth is the obvious only accurate answer. So thank you guys for your info:-) However for my own selfish reasons I'm looking for an estimate?
    Those who agree the only estimate is DNA testing, I already understand and again thanks for the info.

    These people KNOW ovulation and conception, the issue you appear not to, and want to give dates where it is not possible. You wish to refuse obvious truth and pick someone, So pick who you want it to be, flip a coin, draw a name from a hat, those are as good as any guess you are going to make until you do a DNA test

    From a medical standpoint your most likely day of conception is on or around April 25. This is based on the conception wheel that the doctor uses when calculating your due date.

    However, with dates this close you will STILL have to have a DNA test done to determine paternity as this is only an estimate and is not foolproof.

    @ J_9 Thank you!
    I have one more question for you ( I' am in no way assuming you are God with foolproof answers:) I realize any answer you give me is only an educated guess). If my cycle is 28 days and I got my period April 12th, wouldn't I have been expecting a period the following month May 9th, 10th?
    I'm due next month and I am getting anxious! One partner believes he's the father and I hate thinking he maybe disappointed next month. I guess that's the reason I'm tallying up the odds one last time. However I'm sure any one in this situation realizes their standing on the center of a balancing beam, and the beam is already set to fall one way. But as far as I'm concerned until that beam falls to one side conception calculators/ educated estimates are cool bean's:)

    @J_9 One more question:
    Is it fact that most women ovulate between day 11 and 21?

    The conception calender/wheel was right on point with me, I did ovulate April 25! Partner A and I are the proud loving parents of a beautiful baby boy! +
