    About conception date
    Hello I REALLY need an answer to this question I'm stuck lost and a little scared .

    So I am pregnant about 20 weeks I was not with my boyfriend at the time but we were still having intercourse we had intercourse at the end of May when my cycle was ending and my doctor said that my due date was December 27th and that my conception date was April 5th . I had , had intercourse once with another guy and I clearly remember the date being April 9th so my question is if it was suppose to be the other guys they would have told me that my conception date was the 9th or later and or my due date was a later date also because all of this is not making sense to me and I know it's bad and I made a mistake but I really need a solid answer or a better answer that will make me not be so stressed .

    Judging conception dates is an inexact science. It can swing 2 weeks either way. The only sure way to determine paternity is with a DNA test after birth.

    Unless you know the exact date you ovulated by testing basal temperature for at least 6 months, there's no way to know exactly when you conceived. Like Scott said, a conception date and due date are a best guess, not exact, and can be off by 2 weeks either way. That means that either man could be the father. Again, like Scott said, only a DNA test will be able to tell you who to send a fathers day card to.

    Every one of my doctors had my due date's exact.
    According to this calculator your conception date would be April 5

    Your doctors made a lucky guess, that's all that conception dates and due dates are, a best guess. Only a small percentage of babies are actually born on their due dates, the majority by 90% are born within 2 weeks before, or within 2 weeks after the estimated due date.

    The OP's going to need more than a lucky guess to find out who the father of her child is. Only a DNA test can solve this question.

    Of course she probably won't listen to the truth, she'll probably see your post and believe that a due date calculator found on the internet is going to give her the answer. It isn't. Right now even her doctor can't tell her for sure.

    Again, your doctor made an educated guess, and he got lucky by guessing your conception date. Sometimes doctors guess right. Yours did. You're not by any means the norm. Not even close.

    Conception date and due date are a best guess. Sometimes the guess is right.

    You also didn't have two potential fathers for your children, so the conception date wasn't that important. For the OP an error in judging when she conceived, would mean that she could be going after the wrong guy for child support.

    The only answer to this question is a DNA test after the baby is born. There is no other answer.

    Of course no matter what she needs to have a paternity test done. Any one that is with more than one guy should. Even at the best educated guess
