    You have a 4 week window... which is 2 weeks before to 2 weeks AFTER the estimated date based on the due date minus 9 months. That's a close as you can possibly get unless you only ever had sex one time.

    You go by your Doctors estimated date... which means its very likely you exes.

    If your due date is estimated to be March 31... you go 9 months before that date... which without looking at a calender is the end of June plus or minus 2 weeks from that means mid June to mid July.

    That means its going to be a tough call because its close. You won't know for certain until you have a DNA test run... which is recommended because of child support and particularly for family medical history... they are going to need to know who is the real father, even more as they get older.

    Actually, the dates are too close to give you an accurate date. You'll have to wait until the baby is born and get a DNA test.

    Pulling out is not a good birth control method.

    Plenty of sperm in pre-ejaculate to get the job done.

    Really, there's only one option, and that's a DNA test after the baby is born.

    We call people that use the pullout method parents.

    The penis is just like a leaking garden hose... you don't have to turn it on to get wet.

    Pull out is not really a method, it does reduce sperm, but does not stop them, so it could easlily be the ex's. The dates are too close to make any quess by any calculator. A DNA test will have to be done after child is born

    No matter your ovulation dates, you will still need a DNA test once the baby is born.

    THe only possible way you can know when you actuallly ovulate is if you was taking a basal temprature readings daily and charting it.

    Apps are worthless because women are not consistent from one person to the next.

    Ok does it matter that I only had sex with my ex that one time ? Me and my boyfriend had sex before and after my last period and I made a mistake and had sex with my ex one time.

    You will have to have a DNA test to determine paternity.

    As was stated... you had sex with more than one person during that period... and once is all it takes. You will have to have a DNA test done to know who the real father is.
