Hello,
USG scan will tell exactly about dating of pregnancy. You can retrogradely think about unprotected intercourse history according to that. If semen entered into vagina then pregnancy is possible. If you want to confirm paternity of child than for that molecular testing is needed. For that you can consult gynecologist for further discussion.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
