I have been with my boyfriend for over a year and i made a stupid mistake drunk and had a 1 night stand early hours on the 27 th march this year i found out this month april 11th i was 3+ weeks pregnant so am not sure hu the dad is if i was pregnant to the one night stand shouldn't the test say 2 weeks as 27 th to the 11 april is not more than 3 weeks plus i did take the morning after pill the day after i had a one night stand on the 28 th of march , but i still not 100 percent its just crazy how all year av been with my fella and march i get pregnant and had a one night stand , i calculated my last period which was the 4 th march so i used a due date calculator and it showed days where i was fertile and he day i may of conceived and it showed dates before the 27 th (one night stand) It said i conceived around the 18 th so i may already of been pregnant before the 27 th i am so scares and worried but when i took the clear blue the test said i was to far gone for it to have been the 27 th march ?????

Will the midwife work it out on my 1st scan ?

Hi, Leigh.

Even if the midwife told you a conception date, I'm afraid it won't be 100%. There's always going to be that doubt in your mind.

The only way you can be 100% is to get a DNA test done when the baby is born.

You ought to be honest with both men just now, to make the test as simple and swift as possible once your baby is here.

sweetheart - the first scan can certainly date but it can be out by about a week or so. You can ask for an early dating scan in the UK I believe - but normally you don't get one until 12 week (another poster can correct me). The tests work out your HCG levels (pg hormone) and take this based on an average to see how pregnant you are, hence the three weeks. If you have regular periods, on a 28 day cycle, then in theory you ovulate around 14 days after the first day of your period - this is the start of the new cycle. So yes you can certainly have been pregnant earlier, and the morning after pill is essentially a massive dose of the normal pill, and does not always work. It only works most effectively 24 hours after - so again this could mean that you were already pregnant.

It sound like you have a lot to work through - please get yourself to the doctors, try and see a female doctor if you can - perhaps at a family planning centre? or one you feel comfortable talking to about all of this. They should be able to refer you for an early scan if you have good reason. And you may need some help then deciding what to - don't be afraid to reach out. xx

You can't not tell him, that would be massively selfish and controlling. He should not be led to believe this child is his when you know it's 50/50. You don't have the right to deceive another human being to that extent.

In your situation I would terminate but only you can make that decision. If you keep it then he has to know its not definitely his.

You need to come clean with your boyfriend and let him know. You also owe it to all concerned to get std tested.

Go and speak to your GP to discuss your options, or go to the family planning centre.

It is extremely unlikely that they will be able confirm who the father is, you would have to have a paternity test after the baby was born if you decided to go ahead with the pregnancy.

Definitely go and talk this through with someone asap.

Yes I agree you have to tell your boyfriend. You cannot allow him to think that the baby is his when there is a very good chance that it isn't.

It's a goid idea to speak to a professional, but be prepared for the likelihood that they won't be able to give a definite answe.

And you do need to get an STI check (despite girlfriend, if he's had 1 one night stand,, there may be others, and you must put the health of both yourself and the pregnancy first).

I really think you should try to talk to someone in RL, who can help you through this.

Situations like this aren't quite so scary if there is someone to hold your hand.

You do need to tell your boyfriend, and get STI checks.

Go to your GP asap and explain the situation. Ask if they could put you in touch with either a friendly midwife or a local non-judgmental organization to help you work through your options.

Thanks thats helped alot , the likey hood like u said i may be my bfs but ill never be 100 %. And the next step is to tell my best friend because i cant be on my own through this mess , and the fact i took the morning after pill 28 th made me think its more of a percentage for it to be my bfs , i went to cornwall on the 29 th thats when to and the easter weekend i had period pains but never came on so i thought would that be to soon to have pains only 3 or 4 days after the 1 night stand ?
