Hallow Dear,
It seems from your history that you had menstrual cycle in March after the intercourse with first partner and you have missed your period after the intercourse with the second partner in the month of April. If this interpretation is right, then your second partner has to be the probable father of your baby.
However, if this interpretation is not correct and if you never had menses after the intercourse with the first partner, then you have to conclude about the probable father of your baby by some scientific tests.
The age of the foetus can suggest you about the day when the conception has taken place; thus you can infer which intercourse is responsible for conception.
If you do ultrasonography, you will be informed about the age of the baby. Ultrasonography calculates the age of the baby from its size; hence the age is calculated from the day of conception. This will give you the indication of probable father of the baby.
Else, you may wait till the delivery and then get DNA test done which will definitely conclude the information about the father of the child.
I hope this helps you.
