How To Determine The Paternity Of The Fetus?
Hello, I have a question about pregnancy... My last period was around 2-5 aug and I had sex with my husband on 10,11 and 14 aug. on 17 August I fooled around with another men, he rubbed his penis on my vagina and inserted it twice, but did not ejaculate. I took a pregnancy test today 25aug and it was positive... Can I be pregnant of this other guy or just my husband??

Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
I have gone through your query and can understand your concern.
Yes you know paternity of foetus by DNA paternity test. It is very accurate method. There are two ways
1.Invasive prenatal paternity testing-It is consist of procedures called chorionic villus sampling or amniocentesis. Amniocentesis retrieves amniotic fluid by inserting a needle through the pregnant mother's abdominal wall. These procedures are highly accurate, however there is a small risk for the woman to miscarry and lose the pregnancy as a result.
2.Non-invasive prenatal paternity testing-Current advances in genetic testing has led to the ability to determine who the biological father is while the woman is still pregnant through a non-invasive method. There is a small amount of fetal DNA present in the mother's blood during pregnancy. Through this DNA paternity can be accomplished
Hope this information helps
