Brief Answer:
December 28

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I read your query and I understand your concerns.

Following is my reply:

1) If your period was on December 16, you would have have ovulated n december 21.

2) Therefore December 28 seems to be the time of ovulation and fertilization.

3) Consider December 28 partner as father.

Let me know if you have anymore questions.

so December 21 intercourse is out the way because I started ovulated on that date and that means it doesnt add up to my due date correct . so I dont need to do a dna test???

Dec 28

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

You may not have ovulated on 21 December.

28 December is only possibility.

DNA test can be done only to varify and confirm. Thats all.
