Paternity Analysis: Determining the Father of Your Child

Question
My last period was April 11th 2011 i had sex with my boyfriend April 18 until the 25. I had sex with someone else on April 28th 2011. My due date is Jan 16th 2012 is my boyfriend the father or the other man. I am currently 22 weeks pregnant. Can you tell me who the father might be??? and is 22 weeks current???

Answer
Brittany,

Yes, your due date appears correct from the information you've provided.  Based on it, you most likely conceived around April 26th.  However, as there is a margin of error in calculating conception dates, either man is equally likely to be the father as sperm can live in the reproductive tract for up to 5 days.  So, without a paternity test, it's impossible to say for certain. You can confirm your dates as well using an online due date calculator.
