Conception date problems
Posted: 07-09-08 15:23pm

I'm a little confused about my conception date. For the first time I made a mistake and slept with two different men in one month. One was my ex husband and the other was a new guy that I thought was right for me, but ended up not being so. I had unprotected sex with my ex husband on the 11th. Which I know for darn sure he "came" inside of me. I met the other guy on the 15th. We did NOT have sex on that day, But we had protected sex on the 16th. Unfortunatley I was confused and had sex with my ex husband, which was unprotected, the night of the 16th. Again, I had sex with the other guy on the 18th, which was also protected. My ultrasound on April 24th was 7 weeks and 2 days. My due date is December 8th. When I got a positive pregnancy test on the 4th of April, I was 4 weeks and 5 days. My LMP was 03/03/08. When I count back 7 weeks and 2 days from the 24th of April, It lands on the 11th. The only time the other guy and I had unprotected sex was on the 29th of March and my expected period was supposed to come on the 30th of March. I'm very nervous, because my ex husband and I are trying to work things out and he's extremely happy about the baby. I've never been in this situation before, and I'm kicking myself everyday because it seems that I can't figure this one out. I've been told that there is a possibility that women can get pregnant while using a condom if it's not used properly, but I know for sure this condom was used properly. I know for sure that if this isn't my ex husbands baby, we will never be able to work things out. That's just the way he is, and I completely understand. Could someone please help me? I'd greatly appreciate it. Thank you. =]

If you had unprotected sex with your ex hubby and protected sex with your bf then it is probably your ex hubbys, but there is a slight chance it could be your bf's. The only way to really know is to get a paternity test.

According to your data you probably ovulated and conceived on 16-th March. On that date you had sex with 2 men but one was protected and the other one was unprotected. Chances to conceive from the protected sex are 3% and from unprotected sex are 97%.
By the way ultrasound apparatus doesn't count the days but estimate the pregnancy age according to some fetal measurements. But even if you count back 7 weeks and 2 days from the 24th of April, It lands on 5-th March (not 11th March) which is very close to your LMP-date (3-rd March). This makes 18-th March also a risky date but the sex on that date was also protected.
I believe that your ex husband is the father of your unborn baby but if you want to be 100% sure you need to do a paternity test.

I looked it up. your conception date was March 17th according to your LMP

Also, it's most likely you ex hubby's baby. you did not have unprotected sex with this other guy which makes the chance of it being his slim to none.
