Who is the Daddy?
Posted: 08-17-06 10:37am

I stopped taking birthcontrol in May and I had a 23 day cycle in June. I started my period June 30th. So I do not know if I would be a 28 day cycle or 23 b/c before this when I had my first baby I was a 28 day cycle. So I didn't know the probability of the 2nd month not on birthcontrol if I would have been a 28 day cycle. anyway I found out I was pregnant on July 30th and began to wonder when I conceived. Here is my problem.
I had sex with one guy on July 9, 11,12, and 13th. I then had sex with guy two on July 14th (using protection though) (well we put one on in the middle before ejaculation; that's what I am worried about) I then had sex with guy one again on th 18th.
Can you tell me who the daddy is?

If you used protection when having sex with the second partner, then the first partner is most liekly the father of the child. If you are not sure about the protection with the second parner, then both men are equally likely to be the father. Further, if you are unsure about the menstrual cycle's duration (23 to 28 days), this causes additional difficulty in predicting ovulation and conception. A DNA analysis is your best bet for determining paternity.
