    I'm a little confused about when I got pregnant!!
    I had sex with my ex on may 13th, my lmp came may 28th & lasted 5 days as normal. I had sex with my new boyfriend on June 8th, 13th 14th multiple times during those dates & more. My cycle didn't come in July, I found out I was Pregnant June 30th. Please help me figure out my date of conception, I'm due March 1st.Please help me!!

    So when you did the sonogram what date of conception did they give you. It is good give or take two weeks, but since this was 3 almost 4 week apart, then the date they give you should be OK, unless they give you a date in the middle.

    The only full way is to just wait till the child is born and do a paternity test (DNA)

    Thank you so much for your honesty. When I did my sonogram they didn't give me a conception date. They just told me my due date was march 1st, I had my sonogram on aug 6 & I was 10 weeks pregnant.

    That falls about the same time as your period, where you having sex during your period with anyone ?

    But falling on those dates, while it is most likely the new boyfriend, there is still enough doubt that I would do a DNA test just to be sure. Better to know now than find out in 5 or 6 years when the child is having some medical issue and it comes out

    I agree with Chuck. Sadly the only answer to this is a DNA test. A sonogram is a best guess, it's not an exact guess. A date given by sonogram can be off by 2 weeks either way, add that up and it's 1 month. A DNA test is the only way to know for sure who the father is.

    Good luck.

    Yea that's what I said & no I wasn't having sex during my period, just after & my doc said ovulation occurred day 14 after my lmp, which was around the time I was with my new boyfriend. I'm praying its his but a dna test will be done just because it wasn't a planned pregnancy. Thanks a lot for your help.

    If your due date is March 1, you most likely conceived on or around June 9. Although it is a guess, it is based on the gestational wheel your doctor uses when determining due dates.

    In the end, you will still have to have a paternity test done.
