    The dates are too close together to tell for sure. A DNA test will need to be run to establish paternity after the birth of the child.
    Dating is all Best Guess and not definite.

    No that is not true, they will estimate from testing the development of the fetus. And give you an exact date according to estmates.

    That date the doctor gives you is give or take one to two weeks.

    So it could be either man.

    Next you can not test one or two weeks after sex with pregnancy test, they will always show negative

    This close together, there is no possible way to know which man is the father before you do a DNA test after the child is born.

    You may hope it is the boy friend, but from the information given, there is no way at all to know

    Yes, through amniocentesis, which is a very risky procedure. I don't know of any doctor that will do this for the sole purpose of a DNA test.

    They can give you an estimate. That's all they can do, even with an ultrasound. Every date they give you is a best guess, and can be off by as much as a month.

    You won't get the answer to your question by guessed dates. Only a DNA test will give you the answer. That's really the only option, no matter how many times you ask, or how much you hope that it's your boyfriend's, you will need a DNA test to determine paternity in this case.

    Good luck.
