Conception date is a best guess and can be off 2 weeks either way with an ultrasound. In other words, you won't find the answer to who the father is this way.

The only way to find out who the daddy is, is a DNA test after the baby is born. That's the ONLY way.

Good luck.

It might help you to know that say one of your pregnancy is the first day of the cycle in which you conceived. So in other words, it's the first day after the end of your period. The first day of the pregnancy is not the day of conception. In fact, conception can take a couple days as the sperm travels and penetrates the egg... you remember the high school movies, I'm sure.

So conception is usually about mid cycle, maybe day 12 to day 17... somewhere in there.

Just have to add, the 12 to 17 days is for an average cycle. Unless you know exactly when you ovulated by testing basal temperature every day for at least 6 months and tracking ovulation, there's no way to know when you ovulated. You can ovulate during your period. You can ovulate any day of the month. So unless you know for sure when you ovulated, basing conception on the average cycle is not going to give you any answers.
