This is kind of embarrassing but i just want an opinion

im fairly sure i know the answer would like some opinions though.

I am 6 mths pregnant. at the time of falling pregnant i slept with 2 guys. im fairly sure i know who the dad is but was wondering if you guys could help me with the maths..

Cant remember the date of my last period. around may 10.

Had sex with guy#1 on the night of may 23-24.

Had sex with guy#2 on the 28th-29th may.

Found out about the pregnancy on june 6-7 and due date is feb 14-15.

Hello dear,

You MUST get a DNA test even if you and others are "fairly sure" who the father is. There is no 100% guarantee, not even close. Don't make the mistake of finding out later who the father really was.

They are 5 days apart. Only the DNA test can be sure.

Please do not continue to try to figure out which is the father beforehand. Its setting yourself up to believe you don't need the DNA tested. You do need it. It may come back as the wrong one, no matter how hard you try to convince yourself it wont.

Honeypie agony auntI would say it's so close that no one here can predict who the "daddy" is, only a DNA test will tell you that.

And (without bashing) you HAVE to own up to the fact that they BOTH have the right to know you will be testing after the baby is born.

CindyCares agony aunt Guy n.1 would be textbook- 14th day of your cycle. If your cycle is fairly regular, and between 26 - 30 days, no,1 would be very probably the father.

Of course, though, we are talking about probability, not certainty. It's not impossible that that month you had had a longer cycle with a later ovulation. To find out for sure you'll have to do a DNA test when the baby is born.

So_Very_Confused agony auntSperm can live in your fallopian tubes and impregnate an egg for about 3 days from ejaculation. Boy sperm swim faster, girl sperm live longer.

The problem is you are not sure when you ovulated so with dates that close the only way to be sure is to have DNA testing to determine who the father is.

If I knew the length of your cycle (how many days from the first day of period 1 to the first day of period 2) and the start date of your last cycle i could better guess... but with the limited information you have... it's possible it's either guy...

For example if you got your period on May 10th and you have a 34 day cycle you would ovulate 17 days after your period started.. that would be May 27th. That means that sex on may 24-may 29th could have impregnated you.

I wont judge you because lets face it, many people have slept with 2 different people a couple of weeks apart at some point in their life. It can happen for many reasons, maybe they split up with one partner and slept with the second as a rebound/out of hurt etc....

Regarding your question, it sounds to me like it is guy #1, it is closer to when you would have ovulated if not the time of ovulation and sperm can live up to a week. See what other answers you get here to be sure, but that is my opinion. Good luck x

It could be either. Really impossible to know without a dna test.
