Brief Answer:
Cannot be detected without paternity test.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
In case of irregular periods it is not possible to detect the date of ovulation after the pregnancy has happened. The date of delivery does not suggest anything regarding the date of conception as the baby can be delivered anytime between 37-42 weeks. Since the periods were expected on 22-25 it was not a fertile time of the cycle.
Only a paternity test can help in detecting the father.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
