When Can You.......!?
Posted: 12-17-03 21:27pm

I am not sure if this is the "proper" place for this or not, but I was wondering when it is possible to "test" for paternity.

I had "protected" sex with a girl a month and a half ago and she just called me and said it was possible I was the father. She "says" that she has only been with one other guy before and after me and he is "snipped". I really dont' believe or .....Or him for that matter. He may have just been saying that. Plus, I have heard and read that their can be complications in a vasectomy, especially if you dont' do the "follow-up" stuff. I used a condom and even pulled out before I came and came on her back. So, I know wit is possible, but highly unlikely that I could have gotten her pregnant. So basically I am curious how soon I can take a test and the "baby"....So I can get some sleep! Wink

i would appreciate any advice/info! Thank you

Oh yeah.....Btw, she said she did have her period about a week or so after we had sex. Dunno if that really matters or not

Well, it seems low that you would have fathered this child, but a paternity test is the only way to know for sure and you can't get that child tested until after its born because it could cause serious damage if done before. Good luck with all of this!

Well, the "snipped" guy got the results back and has 10,000 plus sperm count. So that is good news

You require at least 5 million sperm to be able to fertilize an egg because of the amount that get killed before even reaching the fallopian tubes. Therefor 10 000 is great news!

Ok, now I am confused.......

The doc said that he had 10's of thousands.....So I assumed that was like 30 - 40 thousand or so. I thought that was pretty good news cuz he was supposedly "snipped" and it was looking like I was the only other guy

now, did you mean that it only takes 5,000 or 5 million when you typed that up their!??

5 million. Like I said on average (and give or take some because those sperm can be sneaky) it takes approximately 5 million sperm to successfully fertilize an egg

Period

If she had her period after you had sex, the chances of you fathering the baby is very slim. Sperm has a shelf life of 5 days after it leaves you, and if she had her period that basically cleans out the uterus so basically no.

I would say the chances of you being the father is so slim. When you say you wore a condom, did you just take it off right before you ejaculated on her back? If that's the case I would say you are not the father. If weren't wearing a condom, even if you pulled out it is still possible to have gotten her pregnant. By the way, I had a period after conceiving and was very much pregnant. So, I don't think that really matters.

I would say it isn't yours if you are being completely honest. I would try having a serious conversation with her. It seems more possible that the other man involved is the father of the child. Hope that helps.

Thanks for all the help.

Yes, I was being completely honest. I wore a condom and took it off right before I ejaculated on her back

i have talked to her many times and she is pretty much positive it is the other guys because of the "sperm counnt" that they "snipped" guy had
