Brief Answer:
Pregnancy age is calculated from your LMP

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear and thanks foe your query.

Don't worry because you are 17 weeks and 5 days calculated as per your last menstrual period on 20 July.

As per your menstrual periods ,ovulation have occurred around 3 August, and this may be date of conception of your baby, but we can't determine exactly conception date.

Hence as per your last menstrual periods doctor have calculate exactly that you are 17 weeks and 5 days pregnant.

All the best

It was either between July 13-17 or after August 3rd

Answered by Dr. Vjollce Mbiarra (43 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
After 3 rd August

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear again.

As I have mentioned above you have ovulated around the first week of August,hence during this time you have conceived.

The only test to determine the father of your baby with 100% accuracy is through DNA TEST alone.

Ok we what if the night before my boyfriend came. In me and then the next day the other guy maybe got a little bit in me. I had sex with the other guy either April 13-17 or After August 3rd.do you think if I asked the doctor to do a dna test they would tell my boyfriend I wanted it done or would they ask him to just to make sure? if I asked them not to tell him I wanted it done

Brief Answer:
You should gain law acceptance

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear again .

As per your scenario with simple calculations we can't determine who the father is .

Hence the exact father can only determined by doing DNA test or prenatal paternity tests.

These tests can be done only after you will gain law acceptance .

These tests require only blood samples from the pregnant woman and the potential father,and are noninvasive tests
Hence the potential father should know for the procedure .

All he best
