    Dates are too close to tell. If you're worried about who the father is, you will need to do a DNA test when the baby is born.

    There is no way to know your exact conception date... once you have an ultrasound the doctor can make a guess... and its just a guess that would be accurate to a 28 day period.

    That means they make a guess that can be 2 weeks before to 2 weeks after.

    If you slept with more than one man during that time.. the only way to know which the father was is a DNA test after the child's birth.

    It doesn't matter... that date is only an educated guess and they tell you it can actually be anytime from 2 weeks sooner to two weeks later.

    That's 4 weeks... so anyone you slept with that entire month might be the daddy.

    Just an FYI, Morning after pills are not 100% effective.

    #1. He doesn't have to finish... the penis leaks sperm the entire time.

    #2. The morning after pill isn't 100% effective... you could have gotten pregnant before taking it and it didn't work. Likely... no... possible... yes.

    So... what are you wanting us to tell you? You already have the answer that you want, right? The doctor told you this and that and you're looking for what now?

    Go by what the doctor said.

    Like I said... when you ovulated doesn't matter. You are pregnant.. thats known.

    You take the date they gave you... which is only a guess... and you will have gotten pregnant as early as 14 days before that date... to as late as 14 days after that date.

    THey guess based on the size of the fetus which folows a predictible growth rate.

    Baby Size Chart - Fetus Size Chart

    Its more scientific than that... but this is in a way that's easy for anyone to understand.
