Confused about scan dates

Hello I’m new here. I’ve recently found out I’m pregnant with my second child. It wasn’t planned and been a very tough decision for me as I was debating termination but as I got to the clinic and had the scan I chickend out and wasn’t strong enough to go ahead. I am currently 8 weeks 5 days pregnant today. My last period was June 11th. This is where I get confused. I had sex with a old friend (shouldn’t have happened) on the 24th june. Shouldn’t have done it as I don’t even like him in that way. Thought nothing of it and told him it was a bit of fun anyway fast forward to the 3rd July I had sex with a guy I was seeing and found out 20th July I was pregnant. Off the scan dates I would assume it is the second guys (3rd of July) if I am right in thinking they add 2 weeks on to when you conceived so 6 weeks ago would take me back to 3rd July? Add the 2 weeks on it would make me 8 weeks? But if I had a perfect 28 day cycle it would be the first guys but I usually can go up to 5 days late. Can someone help me out here I no I should have used something I was off the pill for 3 months as I wasn’t having sex with anybody then had a bit of a mad few weeks I’m not proud of the situation but also I just wasn’t strong enough to terminate I felt this awful guilt.

In a typical cycle women ovulate 14 days into the cycle with cycle day 1 the first day of your period. If your period started 11th June that would be the 25th July and make the first chap more likely. But every woman is different I.e. I ovulate about cycle day 20. So without knowing when you ovulated you really couldn't know. The scan dates won't help you I'm afraid as they were both in the same cycle.

Thank you. I was convinced when I first found out it was the first guys based off the date of my last period but that would make me further along than being currently 8 weeks. I no there’s no definite answer for this one like you say just confuses me the way they add 2 weeks on x
