How To Determine Paternity During Pregnancy?

So I am already pregnant with a dating ultrasound showing a due date of August 29, 2016. But I have a question about when I concieved. My partner and I were on a break before what I thought was a period and I made the mistake of consuming far too much alcohol and making stupid decisions. I slept with someone else on the 22 of November. Ended up getting back together with significant other the next day. And I also starting my period. It was weirdly light and was shorter than usual. So my question is, could I have concieved on the 22? This would be heartbreaking and I don t want to have to endure paternity testing if it isn t necessary. Thank you so much.

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Paternity can only be confirmed by DNA testing after birth of a child by using DNA Finger Print Technology. Hence, you need to kindly wait till the baby is delivered to determine who could be the father of the child.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
