18 weeks pregnant/ Don't know the Father

[PetiteMummy7]

In a bit of dilemma and very worried who might be the father of my child and not feeling my pregnancy 2nd child

LMP: Saturday 21st May 2022

Due Date: 25th February 2022

Guy 1: on the morning of Sunday 29th May 2022 ( 8 days after my last cycle)

Guy 2: Sunday 5th June 2022 - 16 June 2022

My ovulation date: saturday 4th/5th June 2022

Dating scan : on Wed 17th August 2022 I was 12 weeks + 4 days obestrictian said.

My cycle is regular every 28 - 29 days and I also have polycystic ovary, which I only found out on my dating scan when I was 12 weeks pregnant
Any help, on who likely the father of my baby is guy 1 or guy 2

Pls don't judge

You could ask one of your medical professionals but really its anybodys guess I would say. Best to have a DNA test then you will know for sure instead of guessing.

I think more chance guy 2 but I’d hate to guess on something like this. Definitely get the DNA test done to confirm so at least you know for sure

obviously no one on here can tell you, and you know that. It’s all rather too close together to be able to call it even slightly accurately. A dna is your only option.

Your most fertile days are the day before ovulation and the day of ovulation, but you’re fertile for up to 5 days before. I’d say It’s probably guy 2 but it could be either guy. Do you have a preference to which guy is the father?

No idea. Do you have a preference? Will you find out?

Most likely guy 2.

Guy 2 much more likely but guy 1 is not impossible. Did you use condoms / other contraception with either and did anything go wrong with it?

what is your relationship with these 2 men, do you know how they will feel about you having a baby, what do you feel you want to do, are either of them serious relationships that you would prefer to be the father.

Guy 2 I think...they say sperm only lives for up to 5 days in the vagina and that's if it is kept moist by the cervical mucus that leads up to ovulation.. at day 8 you most likely wouldn't have even started producing the mucus esp if you're sure you ovulated on day 14/15. In this case I think the average lifespan of sperm is 2-3 days.

Guy 2 would be preferable due to thats my current partner, but he keeps threatening with DNA, which is why I wanted to do an non invasion prenatal dna test. And with guy 1 is my ex I shouldn't go back, a whole lot of disgrace and drama. He is quite older too, my current partner younger

I hope it’s guy 2! It probably is to be fair but still a chance of guy 1

Are you sure of your actual ovulation date only line is last day of my period so not at all when it's supposed to be.

Line=mine

Sperm can live in there for seven days after ejaculation so could easily be guy one too I hope you get to enjoy the rest of your pregnancy

I think that is very rare though and only lives longer than 2-3 days if it has the cervical mucus to survive in (which is produced a few days leading up to ovulation). Even then it's usually up to 5 days.

DNA test.

Most likely guy 2 but a bit too close to call it, hope it’s guy 2 if that’s who u want it to be x

what I know is that sperm survives for up to 5 days in the female body. The sperm gives the sex of the baby, so it’s either male or female chromosome carrying sperm.

the male sperm lives for 2 days, the female for up to 5. The male sperm compensates by being faster so it gets to the egg quicker, if there is an egg there.

do you know the sex of the baby? If it’s a boy then guy 1 can’t be the father. If it’s a girl, I don’t think you can be 100% sure, but probably more likely to be guy 2 again.

with guy 1 looks like there was sex 6 day before ovulation.

but again your ovulation estimate might not be that accurate, and then that might throw everything off.

Hi christinanov182, I found out its a boy x so possibility guy 2 x which I don't mind.

Congrats x, I think that too, if your ovulation date is correct. (Also it would be pretty unusual to have ovulated so early in the cycle so really don’t think it’s guy1)

That is really interesting!

How do you know your ovulation date? If that’s just a guess based on dates it could be either of them. If you know that’s the date for sure because you tested for ovulation or had a scan around then, then it’s almost definitely guy 2.

Guy 2 is most likely but the dates are too close to be certain.

Does guy 2 know that the baby may not be his?
