I need help

Hello all,
I hope you’re having a wonderful day if your reading this. I’m in a terrible situation and was looking for some help/advice. I just found out I’m pregnant 🤰🏼 and unfortunately, I’m not exactly sure who the father is.... (I know I’ve already bashed myself mentally over it). Ok so, here’s where I need help and what you all think. My LMP was Sept 24, 2019 and i’m a regular every 28 days. I had unprotected sex ONCE on Wed Oct 2nd. We broke up. I then went back to my children’s father Sat Oct 5th and have been with him ever since having unprotected sex. So my question is, am I being silly and it is indeed my children’s father or the one day dude (Oct 2nd). Please no judgment I already feel like crap about it. :(

I would think the 2nd would be too close for ovulation if you have very regular 28 days cycles and your LMP was 24 Sept.

I appreciate your quick reply. I’m legitimately in a panic and I did basically every single ovulation calculator there is on google and it all says but one fertile window Oct 5 to ovulation date Oct 7th. :( I’m so nervous and could puke from stress.

More than likely your children's father, but honestly could be either. Sperm can survive for days, waiting for an egg. It only takes one to be left over.

Totally missing the point, can I ask why and how you know you are pregnant if you aren't due your period for 5 days and are at most 12 days pregnant? Not being judgemental just being generally nosey as I honestly didn't realise it was easy to spot so early on!

How long were you split from your partner, is it possible you conceived with him earlier and maybe further on than you think?

If not, I agree with pp. 2nd October may be cutting it too close but then there's not a huge gap between that and the 5th either. I know it's hard but try not to stress. What's done is done - is be honest with your partner and take it from there.

I did a frer rapid result literally about 2 hours ago and boom two lines. I doubt there is a possibility it’s from the month before, but I guess an u/s could rule that out. I did read about the new frer rapid resulting false positives, but I highly doubt that is my case.

Sperm can survive for 5-7 days in the right conditions. So even if you ovulated on day 14 (based on an average cycle) you wouldn't be able to rule either man out for sure. Add on to that not knowing for sure when you ovulated I don't think anyone can say for sure right now. Based on an average cycle it probably is more likely to be your children's father, but I don't think it would be right to assume it is in fact him that is the father. Your best bet would be to get a DNA test
