Helloo sorry to bother anyone just wondering if you can help me, I split from my babys dad of 3 years in february for 5 months and we both had new partners we then decided to get back together on july 20th I split from my previous partner on july 16th and this is when we last had sex also had just finished my period on that morning on the 16th I'm now pregnant and due on 21st april at my first ultrasound the scan indicated my last period was 16th july but I knew it was 11th july she said I must of had a late ovulation everyone keeps telling me its nothing to worry about and that its my long terms partner as I last had sex with previous partner just after my lmp had finished my periods are every 28-30 days just wondering if you could help me and please don't judge me I'm no tart by the way either x

Hi,

Sorry, I'm a little bit confused (punctuate!) -

Your period started on the 11th and finished on the 16th, is that right? You had sex with the other partner on the 16th, the day your period ended? And your cycles are 28-30 days apart?

Haven't you asked this at least twice already?? (apologies if it is a new poster) I recognise this scenario.

Of course you ovulated "late" because your cycle is longer than the standard 28 days.

Your baby was probably conceived around about the 31st July. I am due on the 11th April and I know the baby was conceived on the 21st July due to using ovulation tests. Sperm can live for about 5 days or so inside you. So the earliest this baby could result from is about the 25th July.

This is at least the third, and definitely the last time I am answering this question. Nobody can be 100% sure about the paternity by going off ultrasound dates, but given what you have said about when your period was and the due date you have been given by your ultrasound, you almost certainly have nothing to worry about.

A forum search shows that this is in fact the third time you have started this thread.

It's a troll? Bummer. Did think it was a bit Jeremy Kyle, though lol

im pretty sure ive only posted this twice because im worried but guess ive not got a thing to worry about. popcornmouseinareindeerjumper please be kind and do one like i said im no tart im not the only women who has gone through this!!

But what is the point in asking the same thing again? The answer isn't going to change. Also nobody has actually called you a tart, you are the only one who has used that word. If you are so worried about the paternity then you'll have to have it tested after the birth. Otherwise I'd just assume the baby is your partners.

Sorry i asked again because some one had told me although i finished my period on 16th july that you can concieve at anytime in your cycle.

Well you can't. It's just that normally you don't know when you are going to ovulate as you can't see what is going on inside. So you can not be sure of being safe if you are not tracking your ovulation at all. But you can not conceive at any point. You can only conceive from sex that happened in the five or six days up to and including ovulation.

But you are different. you have had an ultrasound scan to date your pregnancy. Going on the due date from your scan, you can be reasonably confident (plus or minus five days or so) of when the conception took place. Never 100% sure of course, only a dna test will tell you that.
