Hi there,
I am due April 25th just wondering if anyone can help me figure out when I conceived. I had two sexual encounters - one of which was a very difficult situation.
Here are my detail:
LMP 19 July - cycles were irregular since coming off the pill, I was having super short cycles but I think I was still ovulating at normal times due to CM
Intercourse was 21st July and 2nd/3rd/4th August
I had negative pregnancy tests 5th and 11th August
Faint but clear positive 18th August
Ultrasound measured 12w4d on October 15 which lined up exactly to my LMP
I’m going to be DNA testing after birth, and I’m very supported by my family. Obviously not ideal situation but I’m just wondering if anyone can give me any ideas as the encounters were 2 weeks apart.

I would say the first, but it’s really difficult to close to call. Don’t give it another thought and just wait for the dna testing.

Assuming your dating scan was accurate (they are pretty good) then you ovulated approximately 38 weeks before your due date, which was 2nd August 2025.

The second encounter (sex on 2nd to 4th August) is the one.

Additionally it would be impossible to get pregnant on cycle day 3, which was where you were with the first encounter on 21st July.

Your pregnancy tests also tie in with it being the second encounter.

It is good to make certain using the DNA test, but if it does turn out to be the man from 21st July then you are some kind of medical miracle.

I would guess the August date is more likely two weeks after the last period is when you are at your most fertile.
