    Conception date/paternity?
    I got an ultrasound and I was about 16 weeks and 4 days pregnant which made my LMP of being December 5th and my conception date December 19th.They did tell me that it could only be off by 3 days. I was with guy 1 on the 19th and the 23rd of dec. I was with guy 2 on January 9th/10th. How possible is it for guy to be the father?

    Remotely, but not impossible. Calculating conception is an inexact science. I'm surprised they felt they could pinpoint it to within 3 days. Normally they will give a date +/- 2 weeks. Even then Guy 2 seems remote. But I don't think anyone can tell you positively that you can rule him out. Only a DNA test after birth can do that.

    It was more than 2 weeks though.

    That's why I'm saying its unlikely, but no one can state with 100% certainty that it isn't guy 2.

    How likely is it for conception dates to be off by 3 weeks?
    My period has been really irregular because I've been on and off the pill. My conception date landed on dec 19th which was the exact date I was with someone but I also was with another guy jan 10th.

    My question is how likely could it be guy 2? I am aware that it is unlikely but not 100%.

    And from experience of girls is your conception date usually right on or in the same week?

    Conception dates is estimates, ( educated guesses) And the answer is, depends on what data and how the date was estimated, did the doctor give you that date ?

    But yes it is possible,
