If your last menstruation was on the 31st of October then your due date it's not likely to be 6th September; it's more possible to be the 6th of August. If your last period was on the 31st of October 2006, then all the sexual intercourses before that date are irrelevant for your present pregnancy. Further, the date of conception is hard to calculate because your cycles. Nonetheless, conception would probably have occurred after October 31st, anyway.

If your due date is correct (the 6th of September) then your last menstruation date was wrong and should be the 31st of November. If the 31st November was your last menstruation date then you conceived after that date.

Any man that you slept with after the 31st of October or 31st of November could be the potential father.
