How Can Paternity Of An Unborn Child Be Confirmed?

If calculated right i should be 6 weeks pregnant. My last period was January 16 and I’ve had unprotected sex with two different guys. One on December 25, 2017. And the other multiple times through the next couple of months. Could I tell who the father is from this? If calculated from the beginning of my last period it says I conceived between January 26-February 3. I’m just paranoid that it might be the first mans child still. Is that possible?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

The second gentleman seems to be the father of your unborn child until proved otherwise by DNA testing. As per the given dates and assuming that you have an average 28 days cycle:

With the first day of last menstrual period being January 16, 2018, the probable date of ovulation was January 30, 2018, the possible dates of conception appear to be from January 26 to February 3, 2018 and expected due date would be October 23, 2018.

So, based on the above calculation, the second gentleman seems to be the 'proud father' of your unborn child, however, confirmed by DNA paternity testing.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali
