How To Determine The Paternity Of The Fetus?

Posted on Wed, 26 Oct 2016

Question: Hi so I'm trying to figure out the father of my baby . My ex and I broke up late April and I jumped into another relationship around May 11. I was sexually active with both guys and now I'm 22 weeks and 3 days pregnant. I think I already know that my ex would match as the father of my baby but I'm really hoping there is a slim chance my current boyfriend is the baby's father ? I don't remember when my last period was .

Brief Answer:
Attach the early pregnancy scan report

Detailed Answer:
Hi..
Thanks for writing..
I understand your concern..

Since you don't know the last periods date, can you send me the earliest scan report available to know the date of conception..

If today you are 22weeks3 days, means your last menstrual period should be around 1st May.. So the time of ovulation if your period is28 day cycle should be between May 10 to 15.. But only with a scan report the definite date can be assessed..

So please sent me the scan report.. Waiting for your reply.. Good day

I do not have my first ultra sound but I do have my second ultra sound in not sure how to upload a document to this comment . My second ultra sound on 07-08 2016 said I was 12 weeks and 1 days my OB wrote under the ultrasound I was 9 weeks and 6 days this confused me . And the ultra sound I had yesterday said 22 weeks and 3 days .

Brief Answer:
send me the scan EDC based on first scan

Detailed Answer:
Hi.. thanks for writing..
I understand your concern..

Based on the first scan available you were 12weeks on 6/8. So the last period should be around 14th May and date of conception should be 28th May.. But the second scan on 5/10 shows growth 2weeks more..

Can you send me the EDC bad on first scan? It would be helpful if you can upload the reports.. Do you gave a28 day cycle?

Also can you remember the date you had intercourse last with the first guy?

Looking forward for your reply.. Thanks..
