OCD paternity

Hi!

I wondered if anyone suffers with OCD? Not the stereotypical “cleaning type” but the type where a random thought will pop in your head. Intrusive, obsessive thoughts.You obsess over it and start to believe it me it consumes you 24/7. That’s me and I’m having a hard time right now.

I’m pregnant 19+3. Due 14th November.
We are so excited. We split up in the first week of January and we got past the huge issues and got back together. In those couple of weeks I was utterly heartbroken to the point I was sick etc and didn’t know what to do with myself. So I went out and met an old acquaintance and we had sex, once unprotected (it made me feel worse not better and have been tested since) please no judgement. I was on the tail end of my period. These are the dates:

Slept with said guy on 11/1 (tail end of period)
Got back with partner a week later (he knows about him too)
Got period on 07/02.
Positive ovulation smiley face on 24/2 (sex with current partner before and after smiley ovulation positive)
Faint positive pregnancy test 5/3
EPU due to shoulder pain. Couldn’t see any sign of pregnancy as too early but uterus lining thick 14/3
EPU heartbeat detected 28/3

The dates work out to the very day with the scans (based on first day of last period, implying boyfriends baby)
But OCD has gripped onto the what ifs (could the baby be the other mans?)and miracles happening etc and it’s killing me. I know it’s there in black and white that I’m being totally stupid and the facts are there but I feel sick thinking about it. Has anyone experienced this? Can anyone reassure me I’m being an absolute dick head?

Thank you so much xx
Please no hate!
